Condi has requested that she be allowed to testify before 911 Committee

[kentuck]

Just reported on FOX-TV. They emphasized that she was "requesting" to go before the Committee but that she wanted it to be in private, not in public. Anybody else hear this? Anyone else have FOX on? :)

1. under oath?

if not it's worthless.

[boobooday]

2. Did they say if she was going to take the oath?

That's the BIG question!

3. Not under oath -- she is duty bound to be honest (their line, not mine)

They issued a letter with the request according to CBS.

8. seriously? not under oath?

[Fridays Child]

20. Then what's your problem with testifying under oath, Condi?

Am I more in awe of the transparency of her lies? Or is it the arrogance?

I don't know.

4. Lou Dobbs

said it also..No matter what's going on, the friggin bastards are calling the shots...when are the people and commission tell her NO, get the subpoena, or lead her away in chains! Am sick of all the shit.

[maddezmom]

5. yup, another "visit" to clear her name

but not under oath and not in public. What-the-fuck-ever, condi!

6. I hope the commission insists it be on the record,

under oath. We don't need another Faux News interview.

7. I just heard it on CNN

Are the testimonies in private under oath? They should deny her and tell her it must be in public. She wants to answer Clarkes accusations.

9. I heard this on CNN but I thought it was still going to be in private.

She just asked to meet with the committee to refute the charges made by Clarke. I don't think this is any big deal, they're just trying to make it sound BIG.

10. Condi under oath?

What a laugh.

What if one of the commissioners asks her to explain why, if the Bush Administration was focused on al Qaeda, why Clarke couldn't get a cabinet-level meeting until September?

Must mean that all the blast, bluster, and blow aren't denting Clarke. Oh, goodie.

11. "Panel could rebuff Rice"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4601195/

Rice, who has met privately with the commission once before, may not get her wish, however, because the commission could insist that any new appearance, even if in private, be conducted under oath. A source familiar with the commission’s operations told NBC News that the panel has consistently required anyone rebutting sworn testimony to be similarly under oath.

14. THAT'S GREAT!!!

It's about time SOMEBODY tells this crowd they can't just do anything they want.

[pacifictiger]

15. so now she's

"requesting?" Interesting term now that her ***'s in the wringer.

[napi21]

12. Just confirmed...CLOSED DOOR MEETING!

Just announced on cnn news at the top of the hour.

[Vickers]

13. not under oath + in private = worthless

:wtf:

Can you imagine the howling the RW would be doing if (say) Clinton asked for that?

What a load.

19. Condisleeza Is Still A Sleaze

In a public forum and under oath or nothing!
The committee should insist on it! If they don't they are traitors as well.,

[bluedog]

16. We do NOT I Repeat NOT Accept this condition

totally unacceptible...she has to testify in front of the World......if others can get ripped to shreds and have every word "fly specked" so should she.....this is not the way our system works..

As Clinton Gore Bush Cheney.everything should be put on the table..

Any other means.behind closed doors is "UN American"

[Kimber Scott]

17. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.

If she wants to clear her name, she try in front of us, the way everybody else has.

On edit: She can take her "executive priviledge" and stick it up her ass. Executive priviledge ends when you fail to carry out your executive duties. In her case, national security.

[Solomon]

22. It's outrageous and ridiculous to ASK to meet with the commission

in order to REFUTE what Clarke said. She had her turn, he had his. If she wants to go back, let her do it on camera under oath. How insulting can you be.

Trying to use the commission to campaign for Bush.

[Kimber Scott]

23. I hope they don't give in to her.

She needs to know they are running this investigation, not her.

18. CNN just juxtaposed the clip of Clarke taking his oath

against Condi walking around smiling.

He held up his right hand and said "I Do".

Someone is on top of it...

[readmylips]

21. Condi the Lier...committee left doors open for ...

all who testified to return. The committee should now hit her with a legal subpena. Condi is making sound as if she's going back to testify willingly. Bitch Lier.

[Nlighten1]

24. Not no but HELL no...

They shouldn't accept this condition.
