This coming week could well bring junior his worst headache since taking office. Tonight on 60 minutes it will be exposed just how weak his antiterrorism policy was. Starting tuesday Clinton and Bush aides will testify before the 9-11 panel via public testimony. This may hurt him even more. Karl Rove is already running scared over these developments. This morning he trotted out 2 talking heads on early morning news shows blaming Clinton for terrorism and everything else they could think of. Some of the truth will be finally see the light of day. You can expect to see a lot of whitehouse aides on TV doing their best at damage control over this. Where is Rice? What does she have to hide? ____________________ 9/11 panel will hear Clinton, Bush aides Condoleezza Rice has refused to testify in public about possible clues before attacks. New York Times March 21, 2004 WASHINGTON -- Senior officials of the Bush and Clinton administrations will testify this week before the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and they will be asked to explain their decisions on terrorist threats and "how they handled the most pressing security threat to our country," the panel said Tuesday. The witness list for Tuesday and Wednesday includes George Tenet, director of central intelligence in both administrations; Secretary of State Colin Powell and his predecessor, Madeleine Albright; Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his predecessor, William Cohen; and President Bill Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger. The list is notable for the absence of Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's national security adviser, who has refused an invitation from the commission to testify in public. The White House has said Rice, on advice from White House lawyers, has told the panel that it would be improper under the separation of powers for an incumbent national security adviser to testify at a public hearing. She gave a private interview several weeks ago. The 10-member bipartisan panel, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, offered no details on what it might ask. It is looking into intelligence and law-enforcement blunders that may have let the conspiracy proceed. Commission members say witnesses can expect to be asked whether they believe that they missed clues before the attacks on New York and Washington. The panel chairman, Thomas Kean, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, said in a statement, "A central aspect of our commission's mission is counterterrorism policy -- what options senior officials considered before Sept. 11, 2001, and what choices they made." indystar.com
