Panel Hasn't Heard From Official It Wants Most
By ELISABETH BUMILLER and PHILIP SHENON

WASHINGTON, March 25 — The White House may have sent a phalanx of top officials to Capitol Hill this week to be grilled by the Sept. 11 panel, but the one official who did not appear publicly has turned out to be the official the panel wanted most: Condoleezza Rice.

As she prepares to leave her job at the end of the year, Ms. Rice, the president's national security adviser, now finds herself at the center of a political storm, furiously defending both the White House and her own reputation.

But her effort to blunt the criticism by spending the week on television and in news briefings may have had the opposite effect.

She has infuriated some members of the panel, who wonder why she has time for CNN but not for them. On Thursday they questioned again whether she should be subpoenaed to testify if she does not appear in public to answer questions about the Bush administration's handling of Al Qaeda before the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

4. News to me too.

I wonder where it's been announced, because this is the first I've heard of it.

Could it be, that maybe, just maybe, way down deep in that charred brick of a heart of hers, she has a tiny voice telling her that this administration is indefensible?

The White House says Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's national security adviser, is asking for another private meeting with the commission investigating the September 11, 2001, attacks.

8. Did we miss something?

What would all of a sudden make her want to leave an administration that she is willing to sink for day and night?

Is she trying to say that she will stay to see that he is elected again and that she is such a great campaigner that she can't leave now?

She needs to resign today and play the piano full time. If she stays to much longer she will be playing for her jail mates.

Get out Condi, get out now!:puke:
