She's trying to get him to understand this was NOT a warning but a historical paper. He's an idiot.

Ben Veniste asking about a title of the August PDB
It was "Bin Laden threatens to attack within the U.S."
He says "thank you" in an extremely smarmy manner as if he's scored a point.
Condi has none of it, and despite his attempts to shut her up again, she proceeds to clarify it had no specifics.
Ben Veniste points to thwarting a 2000 attack. He points to evidence that cells were here.
He's acting like a prosecutor. Oily and smarmy is he.
"Isn't that so?"
Rice asks if he has some other questions. He re-reads what he's trying to make accusatory notes. Preparations were being made to do hijackings.
She will read the memo. BV grandstands that he wants it declassified and more vicious applause. Rice firmly points out emphatically that he has seen it, knew it and read it. He whines it hasn't been made public and even the title wasn't even publicly known.
Rice says it was vague (she is pointing out specifics of the vagueness) and how bin Laden likes the results of the '93 bombing and so on.
Rice says they checked if there was surveillance of buildings and found the courthouse. Rice: This was NOT a warning.
BV: If your are willing to declassify, others can make up their minds.

The 9/11 families. SOB's are clapping every time ben-barfiste tries to get in a dig. They, in my opinion, dishonor the dead with this political granstanding at this hearing.

I don't care how much you practice, when you are attacked like this by an obviously hostile opponent, it is quite natural to get a little nervous. I believe she is doing remarkably well.
To: Just mythoughts
"Exactly, and he brought his applauding groupies with him.
He is a snake in the grass.
Good Condi is asking him the questions."
This is an insult to snakes in the grass, world-wide.
Condi is kicking this little slimeballs tail all over the place!
GO!! CONDI!! GO!!

FGS...He is badgering her even though she has been forth cominmg and responsive. Why doesn't the Sergeant at Arms keep the audience from applauding. This isn't a performance

She is a genius. But something should be done about his line of questioning and the silly applause. She keeps her cool. Don't know that I could.

Guys - remember - this is the rats BIG PLAY. he has to be confrontational because they are DESPERATE to regain power. It is like watching Saurons captains wail in agony and defiance combined in the face of the armies of the West.

Hmmm...I'm LISTENING to it only, and thought the clapping was for Condi. That's not the impression I got.
Who are these 911 families? Who selected them, Terry McAuliffe?
