Something to Ask Dr. Rice About
The Washington Post reports that Condoleeza Rice was set to give a speech on 9/11 on national security, including terrorism, that included no mention of Osama or al Qaeda; the focus seems to have been on missile defense and the like. This should make Rice’s testimony before the 9/11 commission next week a bit more interesting. The Bush camp is already counterspinning that it’s not what they were going to say, it’s what they were doing behind the scenes that nobody, including Richard Clarke, knew about. Ahem.

And a lovely defense that is.
“Of _course_ what we were going to say was tripe! But what we say is always completely unrelated to what we actually do, so that shouldn’t worry you.”
