Will the 9-11 Commission fry Rice?
Stay tuned!
Live updates:
9:18 A.M. Dr. Rice looks and sounds frightened
9:28 A.M. Pressured speech apparent
9:58 A.M. The August 6th PBD - Richard Ben-Veniste finally throws a good pitch.
10:01 A.M. Ben-Veniste asks directly that the Aug. 6th PDB be declassified (applause)
10:04 A.M. Ben-Veniste finally starts the tough questioning
10:09 A.M. Rice: "No direct threat information about a U.S. attack" in Aug. 6th PDB
10:09 A.M. Rice: Clarke was "shaking the trees" about al-Qaeda attack
It's clear that the August 6th PDB needs to be declassified in it's entirety...the PDB is titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the United States"
10:20 A.M. Commissioner Fred Fielding offers that several attacks thwarted
10:22 A.M. Fielding questions Rice about 'principals' not being involved in Bush Administration during high threat period
10:25 A.M. Rice questions whether "shaking the trees" thwarted millennium attacks. Rice credits "alert customs agent."
10:28 A.M. Gorelick is picking up where Ben-Veniste left off. She's very good.
10:39 A.M. Gorelick asks Rice about differences Bush Administration and "Operation Infinite Resolve" - The Clinton Administration's plan.
10:59 A.M. Kerrey slams Rice over the "swatting of flies" statement. Claims - "Bush never swatted any flies..so what the Hell was he talking about?"
11:04 A.M. Kerrey accuses Rice of filibustering..rightfully so. It's his time!
11:07 A.M. Kerrey claims that if intel was put on on "Intel Link" they would have "rolled this up."
11:09 A.M. Kerrey drops a bomb. Reads portion of memo: Planes to be hijacked - July 5th 2001
I'm listening This is intriguing.
A couple of notes:
Rice makes no apology.
It appears that Rice was "out of the loop," rather than Clarke.
I'll cherry-pick the transcript later :)
It's obvious that we need to get a bunch of documents declassified. Demand it!
Bah. Rice basically gets a free pass.
