Rice Becomes a 9/11 Focal Point as Contradictions Appear
This week's testimony and media blitz by former White House counterterrorism chief Richard A. Clarke has returned unwanted attention to his former boss, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice.

The refusal by President Bush's top security aide to testify publicly before the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks elicited rebukes by commission members as they held public hearings without her this week. Thomas H. Kean (R), the former New Jersey governor Bush named to be chairman of the commission, observed: "I think this administration shot itself in the foot by not letting her testify in public."

At the same time, some of Rice's rebuttals of Clarke's broadside against Bush, which she delivered in a flurry of media interviews and statements rather than in testimony, contradicted other administration officials and her own previous statements.

1. The contradictions indicate panic on the part of the WH or a set up.
They are usually uniform and on point, and if someone is out there
making statements that contradict the party line something
is seriously amiss. It is either a set up for her or
nervous planning.

Whats up with the inabilty to stay on message. They knew what he was going to say in his book so they should have been seriously prepared to do a takedown/debunking.

2. Excellent article
The web of lies has become so hellishly complex that even a PhD can't keep up with the official Newspeak program. Old truths have become inoperative faster than she can unlearn them. The knee jerks - and whammo! - she KOs herself.

Is it to soon to put a fork in her?
