Condi has more important things to do than to be held accountable

this ought to be interesting...
[A]Republican Congressman sent out an "action alert" claiming that "we've gotten word that Waxman will issue a subpoena to Secretary Rice tomorrow morning," adding that such a move could allow the GOP to show how Democrats are "trying to win the political war for themselves no matter its effect on America’s efforts to promote peace and democracy abroad."

"I can only assume that members of Congress would rather have the secretary of State be focused on issues of war and peace," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack in a press briefing today, and then listed her obligations over the next month.

He added, "So she can be doing those things, or she can be testifying before Chairman Waxman's committee about an issue that has been about as investigated as an issue can possibly be investigated."

"as investigated as an issue can possibly be investigated...?" not really... i don't believe an investigation that fails to come up with the truth can be considered thorough...
"Congressman Waxman has had a series of questions for Secretary Rice, and we started out at the -- some 50-plus questions. I think we've narrowed it down to about three, and we will be providing a response to those last three questions, I expect, later this afternoon to Chairman Waxman and his committee," [McCormack] added.

there's a vast difference between responding to questions in writing and responding to them in person... if there was ever a definitive case study of that fact, one only has to go back to last thursday and review gonzales' truly pathetic performance before the senate judiciary committee...
