About the "swatting flies" statement:

Rice said Bush believed the CIA was going after individual terrorists "here and there" and that the president was using a "figure of speech."

"I think it's an unfortunate figure of speech," Kerrey said. "After the attack on the (USS) Cole in 2000, it would not have been a swatting of a fly. There were a lot of military plans in place in the Clinton administration."

BK did a lot of pontificating and little listening. To be part of an effective fact-finding commission one has to listen. His mind is already made up.

I watched the whole thing - again - last night on CSPAN....it's very, very obvious that the likes of Kerrey, Ben Veniste and Gorelick were NOT listening, nor were they interested in her responses.
