Condi lies again
'White House allies and Republicans investigating the Sept. 11 attacks pressed Sunday to hear open testimony from national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, with one commissioner calling her refusal a "political blunder of the first order."

'Rice said she wants to testify publicly, but is constitutionally barred from doing so' - which is horsehockey. She could if her bosses in the WH gave their OK. But they're too chickenshit to do so.

''This is mostly about politics, not about the legalities,'' said Michael Gerhardt, a constitutional law professor at the College of William and Mary who specializes in separation of powers. ''There's not much they can point to as settled law to prevent this. This is a matter of political judgment, not legal judgment. ... It hasn't kept her from talking to the press.''
