Condi under oath

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on April 8, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

So National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice appeared under oath before the 9-11 commission this morning. While I haven’t had the opportunity to go through the transcript, the Center for American Progress issued a statement regarding the contents of her deposition, and posted a page fact-checking some of Condi’s claims against prior news reports, government documents, and even some of Condi’s own statements:

CLAIM: There was “nothing about the threat of attack in the U.S.” in the Presidential Daily Briefing the President received on August 6th. [responding to Ben Veniste]

FACT: Rice herself confirmed that “the title [of the PDB] was, ‘Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.'” [Source: Condoleezza Rice, 4/8/04]
