Frankly, Condi could answer the reasons why President Bush asked about Iraq much better. Folks, this is 60 Minutes, a wacko leftist program without any decorum or intelligence. Also, as many have pointed out, they are KNOWN for their editing.
Condi may very well have said everything we wanted to hear and more. Problem is, most of her interview was left on the editing room floor.
So, don't harp on Condi to much. My only criticism is that the administration should have KNOWN what the 60 Minutes crew would do to any administration interview.

true enough.
but if you think most americans view 60 minutes as a "wacko leftist program", you are mistaken. its viewed as "mainstream".

Is there any way we can pressure 60 Minutes to show the entire interview they did with Condi?
If they want full disclosure from the White House, why can't we demand it from them?

Perhaps the WH felt that Condi needed to go to the cesspool where Clarke made his allegations in order to try to appear to be willing to address the same crowd. Unintimidated and all.
As much as we'd like to have the WH set the terms for their interviews, I don't think that would play well in the long run.
We have a media in the country. Piss-poor for the most part to be sure. But ignoring their venues, their shows etc. would backfire for the admin. IMO
