WTF: Condi can testify in secret and not under oath...

[TruthIsAll]

before the 9/11 commission.

Her testimony is critical in getting at the truth. Not.

Probability (LIHOP) = 100%

Probability (MIHOP) > 90%

1. It is amazing - if this was (D) the RW would be foaming at the mouth

Testifying without being under oath - what a crock.

[Fovea]

2. Come lie to me, come let us lie away...

Maybe they hope that she will take the amnesty and talk.

3. Neat idea that way she can lie and they call it evidence.

4. I said that to my girlfriend tonight...

"This proves that, at the very least, that they LIHOPped..."

My girlfriend agreed...

5. LIHOP BINGO NT

6. has this been in the media?

I've been flipping around to see if it's been discussed at all, and haven't seen anything.

anyone?

so obvious..someone posted here earlier that there's NO reason for her to be forthcoming if she can't be held legally accountable for her testimony.

didn't a certain high officeholder get, oh, what's the word....imPEACHED for allegedly lying under oath, or something?

where in the f*** is the OUTrage?

Henry Hyde, what do you have to say about the rule of law?

doesn't that pre-empt EVERYthing else, including executive privilege, or whatever reason they're giving for her not to have to testify under oath?

what IS the reason, btw?

9. It's been covered in the print media...

the story has been out there at least a month or more. The first piece I saw said she was in negotiation to have a say in how her testimony was taken.

On edit: went to my site (shamless plug!) and pulled the entry:

"National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice is attempting to see that her testimony to the federal commission on the events surrounding the 9/11 attacks is given without her being required to take the standard oath that she will testify truthfully.
TIME, December 20, 2003"

So it's been out there for a bit...and not a word in the broadcast media...

7. I heard that on Mike Malloy

it makes me sick. Now she can't get in trouble if she lies..she's not under oath.

And who is she testifying to? It's not us Americans...

8. Minimum - LIHOP Probably - MIHOP

Operation Northwoods 2 anyone? Who honestly thinks this admin's morals are above such a dasterdly deed? Especially when it comes to furthering their obvious petro-military-industrial plans? Low-life, fucking corrupt murderous sacks of shit.

10. "Condi demands finger-crossing privilege"

How about she just says openly she plans on lying? WTF?

Other possible headlines for this:

"9/11 Commission to Condi: Just Talk, We Don't Care If You Lie"

"9/11 Commission to Condi: Just Move Your Lips; We Don't Care What You Say"

[TruthIsAll]

11. Her lies will be kept secret. And if they are leaked, she

won't be prosecuted for them.

What a deal.

12. My new official position

In any debate with any wingnut will be "anything and everything Condi says is a lie,and I will have this incidence of malfeasence to back it up with.

13. Proof of a coverup

What warren report?
