Fox News' story was instantly denounced by former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey, a Democrat.

Someone wrote to Jonah Goldberg at The Corner over at NRO:

The confidentiality claim belongs to the White House, not Clarke. I say that as a 20-year veteran journalist in television and print, including many years as a television anchor, producer, and reporter for four different television stations in three states, and as an editor, columnist, and reporter for two newspapers. Clarke's background comments were on background at the request of the administration, not Clarke personally. The White House has every right to waive the claim, FOX has every right to ask them to waive the claim, and FOX has every moral and ethical justification to run with the story once the claim is waived. Case closed. Mike Reeder

Thanks. That's certainly revealing. And blows Kerrey's argument out of the water. Too bad one of the republicans on the commission didn't bring that up.
Too bad one of the republicans didn't have the nerve to ask for the clapping to be stopped. Too bad the republicans didn't object to having Roemer (someone whom, it seems to me, would have had contact and dealings with the FBI under Reno - the FBI taking a lot of heat in these hearings) on this commission due to a conflict of interest.
(wasn't it Reno (Roemer's boss) who paralyzed the FBI?)
And too bad the republicans didn't correct each of the democrats who said that Rice refused to come and answer questions. How hard is it to say "she spent 4 hours with us answering questions"?
And where are the rest of the republicans in Washington?
Why are they silent? Why don't they ever seem to defend President Bush?
