Rice is a member of the administration and as such is not a qualified source.

As to the statement being technically correct, no one has denied that. The issue is deeper than that. Others have posted sites covering the problem.

What Condi Rice said was:

"What is the definition of 'is'" = "We were just repeating a British allegation, we never said Saddam was trying to buy Chad ore."

"Oral sex is not sex" = "Our lies are not lies. We were given bad intelligence, by the __________(fill in scapegoat of the day: CIA, State Dept., British, French, whoever, as long as we aren't blamed)."

To sum up, the current state of the coverup is:

Bush and Rice blame the CIA
The CIA blames itself, but nobody believes it
the Brits are blamed by the State Dept.,
The Australians blame the Brits
The Brits blame the French
The French aren't saying anything.
Cheney says nothing.
Everyone else creatively fills in the blanks, and
continues to Know what they already Knew.

This is the best soap opera of the season.
