I was a little surprised at some of the things Condi didn't know when one of the panelists ran off a litany of questions. I know she cannot have all the facts at her disposal but I think it's clear that in the future she and all NSAs will be sure to have more facts about domestic threats at hand. I do think she acquitted herself and the administration relatively well

That is the whole problem with the way we were structured pre-911. That would of been an FBI and Justice Department responsiblity not a National Security issue. The whole reason for that is the 1970s Church commission and hyperventilation by Kerry style Democrats about Intelligence agencies operating on DOMESTIC issues. Keep in mind the Clinton model, which John Kerry recently endorsed, treated Terrorism as a CRIME problem, not a Military/National Security issue. Homeland Security was created to overcome those burecratic road blocks. To cry foul NOW and look back in 20/20 hindsite is one of the reason the 9-11 Commission is seen so clearly as a partisan witch hunt with ZERO credibility

Mr Fineman,

As I read your latest article, I was introduced to a reality equally as frightening as an armed, malicious, mass-murdering enemy; and that would be a press institution globally unrestrained by integrity, logic and facts. The media, as represented by characters such as you, is now an agitprop dispensation machine. Regardless of how often or how strongly some may protest the fact of bias, a mainstream media institution that behaves in lock step to subvert truth is more dangerous to this nation and everyone within, than any armed enemy.

As I note your not-so-subtle inferences, do let's be certain to acknowledge that a favorite tactic of the guilty is the art of projection. In defending those with whom you are aligned, you project upon them your own acknowledged corruption. Case in point, is this observation: “But what if he [President Bush] was literally on vacation — at the ranch in Crawford — when he should have been making sure that someone was ringing alarm bells throughout the bureaucracy?” I suggest to you, here is evidence of your guilt else you might have inquired as to the responsibility of a President that loafed for eight years, being ‘serviced’ by an intern ‘professional’ while murders plotted Armageddon. You might also have questioned a press that gave it a pass, thus providing their own form of ‘service.’

Interesting choice of terminology, Mr. Fineman. But, I suggest you know full well who is the real whore. You and the rest of your partisan ‘professionals’ disguising yourselves as reputable journalists performing all manner of 'service' for the Democrats and their agenda, seem to me to be the genuine ‘cogs.’ Disguise yourselves as you might, with the manner of legitimacy, a call girl is still a whore. What's more, you're a cheap one at that; surrendering the virtue of a proud profession to one of filth and slander, stroking the ambitions of your pimp-handlers for the price of praise and a pat on the head. Yours is the truly reprehensible role. And just like any other diseased trollop - fetid with self-loathing for a pathetic existence - the focus of your hatred is re-directed at a source of decency. In that light, I'd say your inference is quite the compliment to the fair Dr. Rice. For if her virtue is a refraction of your depravity, she must be quite chaste indeed.

Furthermore, I suggest to you that Dr.Rice knows her place quite well, Mr Fineman. It is one that you will never share… a place of honor.

As for you, Mr. Fineman... Take my two cents and go service yourself.

Mr. Atos

Oh boy.
I can just picture the Sheetmetal Worker's Local carrying a placard with that phrase on it - certainly stirs the emotion, eh?

They need to get a grip.
They called on Condi, they wanted her, they got her, now everyone has stopped listening after the entire country absorbed her appearance.

There is nothing they can do or say to change that.
