NYTimes: Condi Wants To Have It Both Ways
"In some of the toughest questioning, Richard Ben-Veniste, a Democratic commission member and former Watergate prosecutor, asked her about a memo dated Aug. 6, 2001, that contained information about the cells. Under his questioning, she said that document, which is classified, was titled 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.' '
...
Ms. Rice, however, insisted that the memo did not warn of attacks inside America. 'It was historical information based on old reporting,' she said. 'There was no new threat information, and it did not, in fact, warn of any coming attacks inside the United States.'"
Hmmm, let's see. "It was an old report with no new threat information, but ..., sorry, it's classified." Does that make any sense? Why would an old report with no new information be classified, so classified in fact that 3 years later you can't show it in front of the 9/11 commission.
So if it didn't have any info, show it to the 9/11 panel. Let them see for themselves. Otherwise, don't plan on anyone believing you, Bubba Condi!
