"Condoleeza Rice is more than happy to go on the talk shows and spin her point of view, but why doesn't she go before the commission publicly? And Bush, he's the big decision-maker. If he won't talk and take questions publicly, then who will?"

I couldn't have said it better myself.
Yet, the Bush administration has stalled these poor people, resisting a commission for a year. Then, it took another year to wrestle papers from the White House. Now, Condi Rice is refusing to testify before the 9/11 Commission in public. Bush, always busy relaxing at Camp David or at the ranch in Crawford, has demured to appear for an hour, and privately.
Doesn't
anyone in the Bush administration have a shred of decency and honor?
