This is interesting the 9/11 Commission is not an Arm of Congress
although it was created (and paid for) by congressional legislation and the signature of Bush it is an independent commission so Condi's arguments about not testifying before congress and the separation of powers don't float do they?

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission), an independent, bipartisan commission created by congressional legislation and the signature of President George W. Bush in late 2002, is chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The Commission is also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks.

1. Their claim is so much balderdash. These crooks do not give
anything about separation of powers or they would not have usurped the powers of the other branches. They are not going to let her testify because she has lied so much already. However, she might balk at lying under oath.

5. Time to subpoena the bitch
Swear her in, and force her to take the Fifth in front of the cameras. Then do the same to Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Perle.

7. I thought Jamie G. said that subpoena won't work
Edited on Sun Mar-28-04 11:10 PM by goclark

How long does it take to get a subpoena?
According to Jaime G.(last week on CSPAN) on the 911 Commission, that would not be an option because "the commission ends in the summer and the subpoena process would take longer than that.."

I thought that was so strange when she said that because I thought they could be done in a few hours.
