The 9/11 Commission Should Not Re-entertain Ms. Rice |
|
If Ms. Rice is not willing to stand for public questioning UNDER OATH she should not be permitted to come before the commission at all. No public purpose can possibly be served by a closed interview in which she is not compelled to disclose the truth. Please scream this from the rooftops. There is simply no excuse for an official paid from public funds not to testify before this commission.

1. She needs to crawl to the commission |
|
and beg to be put under oath at this point. That's the only way the administration is going to "clear up" the mess they are in.
I think the public is finally getting tired of the Bush admin arrogance.

2. I agree, the Commission should not provide a stage for more lies |
|
told behind the curtains.
She's boxed herself in w/lies she's told to the media that can't be repeated under oath without perjuring herself. No way out at this point...
She's finished, politically/professionally.

6. Unless she testifies under oath and in public, there is no way... |
|
the public will buy it. She is already being seen as hiding something, somewhat frantic, etc.

7. I don't see any more point in her testifying behind closed doors |
|
She has already done this. So, like you point out, an open forum should be insisted on by the Dem members or refuse to hear her again. This part of the whole drama is really starting to grow legs because in addition she is saying things counter to things she already said or what Armitage, etc. said. Pundits are pointing out that Clarke was under oath; Rice runs around and shoots off her mouth on every tv outlet so things are super secret; and they point out that if you aren't willing to testify in the open under oath like Clarke then what does that make your rebuttals seem like: LIES and COVERING ASS.

I see it like this. When Richard Clarke testified and refered to Dr. Rice he was bound to the truth by his oath. So if Dr. Rice has something to say about the testimony of Mr. Clarke she too should be under oath. Then, and only then, could the commission make rational judgments about which version of events and actions seemed to be the most valid in light of other testimony. As it is now I am sure that the commission members are seeing the nightly news and the stuff they are hearing there has to sway them to some extent even though there is nothing at all to stop Dr. Rice from saying anything at all. That's how I see it anyway.
