Heard Rush for a time this afternoon. He had a letter from a congressman (Shays),heading up an intell. committee when Clinton was pres., demanding more information from Clarke, who'd appeared before that committee and had treated the whole thing as either a joke or beneath him. He was told to write a letter with specific answers to specific questions and the committee never heard from him again! So Shays wrote a letter to this senate committee detailing Clarke's lies and failings. Don't know if the committee read it into the record. Clarke's book also lied about Condi's knowledge and attitude about bin Laden and Al Quaeda as well as Wolfowitz. Clarke claimed the Clinton admin. had a plan to deal with terrorism which he tried to give to the Bush admin. during the transition period, and he, Clarke, says he was ignored. No such plan existed because Clarke admitted as much to the house intell committee headed up by Shays. This whole thing is a Clinton stunt to cover his butt about 9/11.

This is turning into a "Get Condi" afternoon. This vendetta can't be just because Rice won't testify in open hearings...it has to be more. Maybe democrats really fear she could beat Hillary to national elected office?

Ben Visnesti(sp) is a snake! a snide, sarcastic, snake. And Armitage is smart as a whip not to answer his questions, because Vinesti is laying traps. He ask Armitage what Dr. Rice said or did, and when Armitage says he doesn't know, Vinesti then quotes directly from Rice.
