RICE AND 9/11 -- THE PROGRESS REPORT:

April 7, 2004

PLAYING DEFENSE
Rice Will Testify Tomorrow

After weeks of stonewalling, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice finally is preparing to testify before the 9/11 Commission tomorrow. Since even before the Commission's creation more than two years ago, the White House has acted as if it has something to hide, trying to impede the panel's vital work by hindering access to documents, limiting funding and restricting testimony. The NYT reports the “White House is still deciding what kind of tone [Rice] should strike as she explains the intelligence lapses leading up to the attacks.” Members of the panel are meeting today to discuss the process. Some are opposed to a proposal which would allow each member of the panel 10 minutes to question her. "You can't get much done in 10 minutes," one member of the commission said. "That really might be seen as letting her off the hook." The Center for American Progress has put together a roster of documents and questions to assist in not letting the Administration off that hook.

See the many ways the White House has tried to stall, obstruct and block the Commission since the beginning.
