Re: "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States", hmmmmm, I hope they declassify that report. It must be full of incriminating information.
Rock_nj... how silly you are! I've watched the whole Rice testimony yesterday and I'm gonna show you the single excerpt you need to keep in mind --here you are:
KEAN: Thank you, Congressman, very, very much.
Our last questioner will be Governor Thompson.
THOMPSON: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Dr. Rice, first, thank you for your service to this nation and this president. I think you can fairly be described by all, whether they agree with you or not, on various issues, as devoted to the interests of the president and the country. And all Americans, I believe, appreciate that.
Thank you also for finally making it here. [laughter]
I know there was a struggle over constitutional principles. I don't think your appearance today signals any retreat by the president from the notion that the Congress should not be allowed to hail presidential aides down to the Capitol and question them.
We are not the Congress. We are not a congressional committee. That's why you gave us the PDBs.
And so, we appreciate your appearance and we appreciate the decision of the president to allow you to appear to not just answer our questions -- because you've done that for five hours in private -- but to answer the questions of Americans who are watching you today.

Excerpted from page 5 of the full transcript:

Gov Thompson blurted it out, Rock: ...the president [...] allow you to appear to not just answer our questions -- because you've done that for five hours in private -- but to answer the questions of Americans who are watching you today.
What you couch potatoes were offered yesterday was just... a SHOW --a sanitized TV show starring NSA Miss Condi Rice.... However, the real thing, that is, the raw Q&A you American dupes are not supposed to ever hear about, was held behind closed doors and was already over when Rice's testimony was broadcast worldwide.
In other words, there's the ADULT-ONLY Rice Testimony (for a select few Congressmen) and the "Disney version" for you and me.
