More Proof that Condi's lying....

It's now official, Condi's telling porkies... again. Keith Olbermann interviewed MSNBC terror analyst Roger Cressey who was director of trans-national threats on the National Security Council staff at the time Tenet says he was warning Condi of an imminent threat.

On Countdown he and Keith had the following exchanges:

OLBERMANN: My first question, you‘re now consulting within a firm with Richard Clarke, who was at that meeting on July 10, on the central question of whether Rice was warned then of an attack on the U.S. Do we know who‘s right here, Woodward or Secretary Rice?

CRESSEY: Yes, she was warned. I mean, there was a meeting. It was George Tenet, Dick Clarke, another individual from the agency, Cofer Black, and Steve Hadley. And what it was, Keith, was a briefing for Dr. Rice that was similar to a briefing the CIA gave to us in the situation room about a week before, laying out the information, the intelligence, laying out the sense of urgency. And it was pretty much given to Dr. Rice and Steve Hadley in pretty stark terms.

Later Olbermann asks this:

OLBERMANN: And lastly, Roger, about Secretary Rice‘s sharpness, she famously denied getting any warning before the August 6 PDB came to light. Last week she denied that Dick Clarke gave them a strategy to fight al Qaeda left over from the Clinton administration. Now she‘s denying what Tenet and Black say they, or apparently told Woodward. Where is Secretary Rice‘s credibility on this subject of pre-9/11 intelligence right now?

CRESSEY: I just don‘t understand why she keeps denying what has actually happened, because there‘s really—there‘s no good reason for it. The 9/11 Commission had it right about the summer of 2001, Keith, which was, there was an overwhelming body of evidence, but there was not that sense of urgency in the West Wing of the White House to be proactive and aggressive in going after al Qaeda and taking proactive steps, and directing the interagency to do so.

That‘s what was missing, and I think what you see in Bob Woodward‘s book is another recitation of that very sad fact.

Where is Rice's credibility indeed? I'll go further... she's simply a bare faced liar.
