I offer the first Pinochio Award to...... (CBS) JOHN ROBERTS, White House Correspondent and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice on Face the Nation. CONDOLEEZZA RICE, National Security Advisor RICE: Well, we have been on this level of alert for some time. It's important to recognize that, with any information, specificity is awfully important -- time, place, date, against whom. Back in July, June and July of 2001, we didn't have totally specific information...... ROBERTS: Certainly, but one has to wonder if, after the controversy of last week, you wanted to make sure that you weren't accused of sitting on something that the public should know about. RICE: No, John, we don't play games with this. As the president has said, when he has information that is specific, he's going to go to the American people and he's going to tell them. Otherwise, we have in place a system that constantly evaluates the information that we're getting, constantly evaluates the level of activity, constantly evaluates the credibility of the sources, and tries to assess what is appropriate to release publicly. General alerts have been put forward by this administration. We've also, for instance, when financial institutions were mentioned by name, not specific financial institutions but as a category, there was an alert to law enforcement about financial institutions. So this is a constant assessment. And general alerts can be helpful, but only when you can tell people what to do. " Congrats Condoleeza for taking this first prize! So now we know that you and Shrub don't PLAY GAMES, but that you lie to the American public...And how comforting to know that Shrub will go the American people when he has information that is specific. Condo why don't you tell Agent Rowley in Minneapolis and the Agent in Arizonia about this going to the American people....seems that we have to dig this information out for ourselves and then get accused by Shrub, that we are being UNAMERICAN....And one more thing Condo, you mention that Shrub's Cabal has a plan in place to evaluate the sources of information that you receive so that you can act on it...DUH! I bet Agent Rowley loves the response that she got to your evaluation process and actions. Impeccable work habits, twenty plus years and she has to resort to asking for WhistleBlower status to protect herself from your plan to protect Americans. You go, girl!
