well, that was pretty much a waste of time. dr.rice can certainly fill up the time with hot air and has never heard a question that can be answered with a "yes" or "no" apparently. she doggedly offered her spin on the situation, did not significantly refute or criticize anything clarke had said earlier, and dodged every hard question, of which there were few.

by the ,dougR, i've answered your every question and your request for my name but you have yet to comment on the bushlie i pointed out to you on mar 22. i won't bring it up again as apparently you realize that there is no way to assert that it is not a baldfaced lie other than making the "it's a mistake cuz of bad intelligence" excuse that we're now getting for everything related to the iraq war build-up. i will accept your lack of comment as verifying that.
