In tomorrow's NEW YORK OBSERVER, author Gail Sheehy talks with former Nebraska Senator and 9/11 Commission president Bob Kerrey, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Sen. Kerrey tells Ms. Sheehy that the commission is scheduled to meet privately with Condoleezza Rice on Saturday, Feb. 7. Her testimony will not be sworn or made public; but the commission has not yet decided whether to use its subpoena power to compel public, sworn testimony from either Dr. Rice or the President. Kerrey declares himself in favor of requesting sworn, public testimony from Dr. Rice.

Sen. Kerrey calls the President's new commission to investigate Iraq intelligence failures a political maneuver; the 9/11 commission already has the Iraq investigation in its purview.

[Q]

1. Republicans FORCED Clinton to testify under oath...

...about a consensual affair. Yet the Bush* administration has a CHOICE?

[cybildisobedience]

7. And they made sure it was taped.

Of course, it worked against them since viewers saw a composed Bill Clinton being hounded by a thigh-rubbing little toad from Ken Starr's office.

23. Their plan was to get him under oath as often as possible and hope

he slipped. He eventually did. The book, Blinded by the Right by David Brock details the plan that the RW didn't even know what they were after, they just figured that if he was grilled often enough, that he'd lie about something. He did.

It DID work.

So you swear, Condi?

[stevedeshazer]

21. I'm with you

And I want Shaky Condi quavering and obfuscating on tape for all the world to see.

[dusty64]

22. They always have a choice.

They are rethugs remember, laws ONLY apply to non-rethugs.

[arcane1]

2. I'm with Sen Kerrey

she needs to be put on the spot, she is the WORST liar EVER, and is always on the verge of cracking..

[mbperrin]

3. I know, it would be such an effort to swear her in;

I'd just like to swear the whole bunch out!

[joeunderdog]

4. Why WOULDN'T it be sworn testimony?

WTF? Are there times that are better than others to tell the truth when you are talking about security problems that led to 3000 deaths?

This administration has an open checkbook on lying.

[ixion]

5. Bob Kerry is (or at least was) very cool

I think he's become more mainstream in his old age, but for many years he was one of the coolest politicians around, and not just 'cause he is from my home state. ;-)

I really hope he is able to do something meaningful with the commission, and not just rubber stamp the WH 'official' line.

[Nlighten1]

6. Get her under oath...

:wtf:

[ignatius]

8. Bring 'em in, one by one, all alone, under oath and see how

the stories don't match up. It takes a wise person to recognize their own lies when they come ack to them and these guys just aren't that bright.

I have said this before, but all their lies, most of which are on record, will do them in.

I hope you are shaking in your boots, Condi..one reaps what one sows and your harvest is about ready to be picked.

Maybe instead of naming an oil rig after you. we will be able to name a cell block after you. I gots to have my dreams.

[AndyTiedye]

15. One of These, perhaps...

We should re-open this place, just for them

[Benhurst]

9. Put the bitch under oath. If she persists in lying,

send her to prison.

[Snappy]

10. Time to stop being nice to Rice

Ms Rice is a proven liar. How do I know? I have read her contradictory statements. Why is this Congress so afraid of the Neo Fascists?

[LifeDuringWartime]

12. think back a few years

and remember the anthrax attacks. that's got to be the reason.

[bobbyboucher]

19. You might be on to something.

But I didn't say that. Ooops, I did say that. No I didn't. Well, I didn't mean it, I must have misspoken. I take it back.

[proud patriot]

11. They need to get her under oath

ASAP

[spanone]

13. Under Oath or else they will lie.

[Cooley Hurd]

17. Can you stand it???

Why - WHY would they NOT want sworn testimony from her?

Jesus, could this be a plea deal in the making??? :wow:

[bobbyboucher]

20. Whatever.

They will lie regardless.

[peacetalksforall]

14. Does she have to be treated with respect?

She doesn't deserve respect -

Rice, the messenger who told us that 'they' never thought that a/c would be used as bombs...................even though she was probably involved in or in charge of the Genoa (?) meeting around Apr or May of 2001.............which the enthroned one attended. Italy prepared for and protected against intelligence that reported that an a/c was to be used as a bomb.

[daleo]

16. Under oath and public would be nice

But, frankly, I think it would be a miracle. I suspect national security will be invoked by someone (probably including this committee) to prevent it. I hate being this pessimistic.

[dansolo]

18. She should be under oath

It was her fucking job to prevent 9/11. She, more than anyone else, has a lot to answer for.

[indepat]

24. This way she can lie through her teeth but not charged with perjury:

how neat.

[drscm]

25. Why bother?

If Ms. Rice is not going to be held accountable, as is true of this entire mis-administration, why waste the time to question her?

I do not understand the logic, if there is any.

26. MAKE AND KEEP IT PUBLIC!!

Always, Always, Always make these actions public. It gives the cons wiggle room later on.
