The New York Times

April 8, 2004 by Michael Boyle

The New York Times

is providing internet access to Condoleezza Rice’s public testimony before the Sept 11 Commission.

It’s amazing though – she lies as easily as she breathes, as far as I can tell. She just now was talking about the Department of Homeland Security and how important it is to US security. Trouble is, the Bush Administration blocked the formation of such a department, which was proposed long before Sept 11 by the Hart-Rudman Commission.

Later…I can’t believe this – now she’s straight out blaming Clinton. “We were in office for 238 days” she said, “Why didn’t the previous adminstration address these structural issues…” etc etc. Clue: they DID. They got the ball rolling, but for purely ideological reasons the Bush Administration shelved everything they did and tried to start again. They threw out the baby with the bathwater and then turned around and used their utter failure on terrorism to justify an illegal war on an unrelated state. Simply amazing.
