Roemer is getting his but whipped.

He just doesn't know it. He thinks that by hectoring Condi he is scoring points. He's not. He's way behind.

Be Seeing You,

At least he has the name right...

Roemer is an Indiana democrat, formerly in Congress.

I am going to write a letter to the paper about his uncivilized hectoring of Dr. Rice.

roemer "we've done thousands of interviews" -- special agents in charge -- none received information of threat from al qaida -- roemer why wouldn't YOU ask someone to do it (pass info on)

Rice admonishes Roemer for insisting on making the August PDB available to the public. Points out he has read it and is referencing it, for example, so he has not been deprived of its contents.

Now she addresses the Clarke memo that Roemer implied contained the wisdom of the ages. Rice describing it and it is no such thing. It's not a warning doc. All of them had this fear of an attack.

It would not be correct to characterize what Dick wrote as a warning of an impending threat. It was a memo to Rice encouraging her not to feel bogged down by beaurocracy.

Thompson up and praising her for her service. Last questioner.
