9/11 Commission. Now on C-Span.

Chairman Thomas Kean has asked the audience to refrain from clapping.

Louie Freeh, former FBI director, up at 9:30.

Business matters being taken care of now by the Commission.

[kassie]

Yes! Capture or kill OBL.

Re: Missing "Village Idiot" Found!!

Why was that pulled?

[San Jacinto]

You've got them nailed.

If I was questioning that worthless hunk of garbage, I would try to get her to shake herself all the way out of the chair. If someone called that insensitive, so what?

[Peach]

Does she have to try?

Whatever she's doing, she comes across as the most bumbling idiot I've ever seen testify in public anyplace about anything.

[blackdog]

Those phrases like outside the box, connect the dots, rearrange the office, consult with agency heads, roger that, and the like are just bad history.

It's a new world with no spin. This lady's dribble is so Clintonesque. Now I know why Bubba spoke in private. Those kind of phrases are salt on tiger wounds.

Lehman - "Special Forces found themselves facing a band of DOJ lawyers protecting their turf as a criminal matter. Is that correct?"

Reno - "I have not heard that. I don"t know what their motivations would be for saying that."

[kassie]

Ewwwwwwwww, Kerry is up.

[texasbluebell]

One attack was thwarted, but it had nothing to do with anything done by the clinton admin.

It was the sharp eagle eye of one border guard -- we dodged the bullet that time only because of that guard!

[freeperfromnj]

It will be embarrassing how disrespectfully the dems and the press will treat him.

The press has been putting out blame-Ashcroft headlines all morning. You know ben veniste will go after him with a vengence -- but like Condi, I don't think he's going to have any of it.

[Gritty]

Kerry now lumping together clinton maladministration and Bush Administration.

[Howlin]

Like I said, we should have made a list of his lies so we could prove what a liar he is.

[PISANO]

Capture or kill him. That is my personal opinion

Obvious question I don't want your personal opinion, WHAT were the DIRECTIVES estabished? Instead LEHMAN says "ROGER THAT".....I think he knows that questioning her is futile at this point. Now Kerry will TESTIFY FOR her.........speech time!!

[Howlin]

I sure will!

[kassie]

He is actually NOT using a soothing voice with her. I'm surprised.

[Gritty]

Kerry - "Why was military not given jurisdiction?"

Reno - "I am not aware of why."

[LisaFab]

Hey kassie, long time. Just got in. Was listening to this on the radio--much better than on TV--eek.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Isn't she now discussing the very thing she said had to be discussed in private?

Yep, the same subject matter where she caught her self before committing self-lynching.

[Mo1]

Why was that pulled?

It was in the breaking news .. but I don't know why it was pulled

This is what it said

Missing "Village Idiot" Found!!

and she is testifying before the 9/11 commission as we speak. How our country ever survived 8 years of Janet Reno as Attorney General, is a miracle.......

[nutmeg]

I don't have time to be here right now, but I've GOT to stay until the end of Reno's testimony! ;-)

[ride the whirlwind]

If Kerrey's perplexed, why isn't he rudely interrupting Reno like he did Rice last week?....
