Bush-Rice stonewalling and lying to 9-11 Commission:
* Read the last paragraph where it proves they were warned about 9-11 on 8-6 and did nothing. Rice lies when she says they weren't warned and could have done nothing.

"The commission issued a public appeal on Wednesday to Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) to reconsider their opposition to meeting with the full panel.

National security adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) has also refused to testify publicly on the grounds she is a presidential adviser and not a Senate-confirmed Cabinet officer. The White House defended that decision as in accordance with the practices of previous administrations.

Bush and Cheney have only agreed to meet privately with commission Chairman Thomas Kean and Vice Chairman Lee Hamilton, rather than with the full, 10-member panel.
Former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites) and former Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites) had agreed to meet privately with all commission members, the panel said.

The panel, formally known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, says it wants to question Rice and other presidential advisers about what the government knew about potential terrorist threats in the months leading up the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Rice and other administration officials said there was no advance indication terrorists planned suicide hijackings. The White House revealed later that Bush received a briefing one month before the attacks warning of the possibility of a plot to hijack airplanes.
