NJ Star Ledger Editorial: No Exemption for Rice (ouch!)
This is a verbal beat down:
snip:
If others make detailed allegations of incompetence against the administration you work for, all you need do is walk to the nearest television camera, call them nasty names and impugn their integrity. You get to declassify anything you think might help your case and keep secret everything that does not. Regular people cannot decide for themselves what is secret.

Never mind that your claim that national security would be endangered if you should answer important questions looks more ridiculous with every television appearance you make and op-ed article you write.

Condoleezza Rice has it easy. She should not.

snip:
Richard Clarke held high positions in the Bush administration (as well as the Reagan, first Bush and Clinton administrations). He has made serious charges about our country's lack of preparation for terrorist attack and its choice to pursue other goals, other targets than terror. He is a man of calm substance who merits answers. The exchange of slogans with some fawning Fox News anchor is not an answer.

1. I'm glad that this isn't going away...
and that their offer for her to testify in private not under oath is seen for what it is...

2. What a breath of fresh air! Read the entire editorial.
It tells the truth about how pompous, elitist and ultimately deceitful this administration really is.

Personally, I don't believe there is a smoking gun. I think they are desperately trying to hide the sham of their policies that have been so transparent to the rest of us, but are now being seen for what are by the media and even some of their true believers.

On a separate note, it doesn’t help the chimp’s cause for the invasion of Iraq in search of WMD when he mocks his own efforts in a skit searching for them under oval office furniture. It’s one thing to be wrong. It’s another thing to send our military to die for it and then mock the failure in front of the press.

Shameless, arrogant, bastards.

3. Shameless, arrogant, bastards and bitches.
Too bad that no one in America can prosecute these criminals.
