I think one of the reasons that Condi is not on the talk shows more, not just because she is a real working SOS, but because there are so many career creeps in the State Department that are democrats that are in positions where they may be able to undermine her Statements if she is somewhat off the cuff appearing with The Viperous Russert. I believe that a lot of the cautiousness that we are seeing recently has to do with the White House knowing about all the snitches and anti Americans that are still embedded in the Defense Dept, State Dept, and CIA, and trying to work around them. Colin Powell is on the outside making trouble.

You are probably right and I hate to admit it. I would rather be more idealistic.
