Chicken Fried Rice
Condi -- testify. Testify under oath. Testify under oath before Congress and the American People. You can squirm and evade all you want, and claim some precedent, but the simple truth is you must testify, publicly, with the penalty of perjury dangling over your head.
"No sitting national security advisor has ever testified under oath before..." I paraphrase, and respond, "Well, no hijacked commercial airliner ever slammed into a skyscraper before."
Unless you want everyone to think you're a liar who's covering up for her bosses, then testify. You seem to have time to talk to everyone else. As John Kerry said, if you have time to do 60 Minutes, you have time to appear before the 9-11 Commission.
Or, I have a better solution. Since no sitting national security advisor has ever testified, why don't we impeach your ass and then subpoena you as a private citizen? Would that make you happy?
Meanwhile, it's certainly fun watching the administration frantically try to spin L'Affair Clarke. Trouble is, the faster they spin, the further they screw themselves into the ground.
