SHARPENED DRAMA

Finally. The 9/11 Commission‘s Jamie Gorelick, Tim Roemer and
Bob Kerrey sharpened the drama. By confronting Condoleezza (“CYA”) Rice with questions she
preferred to filibuster, they woke everyone up. Their directness, and Richard Ben-Veniste’s earlier
questioning about a classified memo of Aug. 6, 2001, titled “Bin Laden
Determined to Attack Inside the United States,” were the real “take away” from this
morning’s hearing, not Rice’s defensive replies. We’ll hear all the pro forma
statements about what a wonderful witness she made for the administration. Don’t believe
’em.
