on Bush's desk there is a sign that says: "THE BUCK STOPS ANYWHERE BUT HERE!" Always somebody else's fault.

Panel calls for Rice to appear CAPITOL HILL - Members of the federal panel that's been looking into 9/11 say they're not hearing from everyone they want to hear from. The panel has opened two days of hearings on the anti-terrorism efforts of the Bush and Clinton administrations before 9/11. The ten-member panel had invited National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to testify. She declined, with the White House citing concerns about separation of powers. One panel member says that's not a good enough excuse. Another mentioned the book written by former anti-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke, who accuses the Bush administration of downplaying the al-Qaida threat before 9/11. Former Democratic Congressman Timothy Roemer also noted that Rice has been featured in the media disputing Clarke's claims. He suggests the debate shouldn't be played out in the media, but before the panel. news.bostonherald.com lurqer
