US Rice To Conduct Interview With CBS' 60 Minutes NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--In addition to offering a second round of testimony from its National Security Adviser, the White House also has offered Condoleezza Rice to CBS's 60 Minutes program, the network's Web site reported Friday. CBS has accepted an offer for a sit-down with Rice and an interview has been set for Saturday to air on the 60 Minutes program on Sunday at 7 p.m. EST, according to the Web site.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a highly unusual move, key Republicans in Congress are seeking to declassify testimony that former terrorism adviser Richard Clarke gave in 2002 about the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Friday. Frist said the intent was to determine whether Clarke lied under oath -- either in 2002 or this week -- when he appeared before a bipartisan Sept. 11 commission and sharply criticized President Bush's handling of the war on terror.
Rep. Shays said this:
Noting Clarke told the subcommittee in June, 2000 that there was: “no need for an assessment” of the terrorist threat, Shays stated, “Mr. Clarke is engaging in revisionist history, apparently for personal partisan reasons.
Shays noted that at a briefing on June 28, 2000, he asked Mr. Clarke, then serving as President Clinton’s Special Assistant and National Coordinator, Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counterterrorism, when an all-source threat assessment and strategy would be completed. Clarke's answer: “No assessment has been done, and there is no need for an assessment, I know the threat."
