Lousy week, lousy record
Worthless national insecurity advisor Condoleezza Rice gets taken to the woodshed.

"You urge policymakers to imagine a day after hundreds of Americans lay dead at home and abroad after a terrorist attack and ask themselves what else they could have done. You write this, seven days before 9/11?" former Democratic Rep. Tim Roemer asked Clarke in a nationally televised open session of the commission.

Clarke tersely confirmed he had sent the letter with a single word, "Yes."

It is a matter of record what Rice did on receiving this warning from her own top expert on the imminent mega-terrorist threat facing the United States. She did nothing.

Then the commissioners weighed in: Rice's argument "belongs not on the airwaves" but in testimony before the commission.
