Dr. Rice: Would her resignation be enough?
Swirling amidst the other Republican scandals over the last week (Hastert's cover-up, Abramoff's direct dealings with Ken Mehlman, and Abramoff's confidence in the upcoming invasion of Iraq, to name the biggies), there's this little bit about whether Condi Rice lied to the 9/11 Commission:
While it may get overlooked in the torrent of revelations related to Iraq in the new Bob Woodward book, “State of Denial,” his bombshell account of a previously unknown warning about terror attacks on the U.S. just before 9/1, delivered directly to Condoleezza Rice, seems equally significant. Now Rice is disputing the account.
Woodward stuck to his guns on the Today show on Monday, stating, "I did the interviewing on it," and pointing to a key on-the-record quote by the chief CIA counter-intelligence official. Now, if his story holds up, will she resign?
... Responding to the Woodward book, Rice (who was en route to Saudi Arabia) told The Washington Post for Monday's edition that an aide was checking on the meeting, but added, "What I am quite certain of, however, is that I would remember if I was told--as this account apparently says--that there was about to be an attack in the United States. The idea that I would somehow have ignored that I find incomprehensible."
If Rice did mislead the 9/11 Commission about the meeting with Tenet, would her resignation be enough? Or would the blame go higher? If Rice was willing to mislead the 9/11 Commission (assuming Woodward's account is accurate), who else did she deceive? More importantly -- who else knew the truth?
Most importantly of all, will Chris Wallace ask any Bush administration officials about it?
