Rices testimony was not refuted by anybody. And as I understand it, they are reviewing it to see if they can release the document.

Furthermore, given that Ben Veniste did not want to let Rice answer the question (Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6th PDB warned against possible attacks in this country? ), it is quite apparent that he was playing political gotcha, and not seeking real answers. I doubt that he REALLY wants that document released.

You seem to be under the impression that if all of the cabinet heads get together, that heaven opens and all things good happen. In fact, these are simply review meetings, the real work gets done elsewhere.

The Bush administration was continuing the the Clinton policy. There were covert actions intended to disrupt Al Qaeda of varying types including assassinations (Go back and review the transcript). GWB & Rice recognized this as inadequate and they were doing something about it. Does everybody wish it could have happened faster? Of course.
