Rice would testify privately for a second time before the 9/11 investigative commission, with the bulk of her remarks made part of the public record in the panel's final report but she would NOT be sworn in.
Why even bother questioning her if she refuses to be sworn in?

That way anything she says can't be held against her in the future, and she can't be forced to comment on a subject or answer a question she doesn't like.

Ack, already noticed an error in my statement. It should begin, "Her insistence on testifying without being sworn is so..."

Which makes all her comments worthless as she is basically reserving the right to make shit up.

Can I reserve the right to ask for a poli-speak to english translation on national television.
Rice: blah, blah, blah, blah, .... (goes on some more, and then even more)
Translator: Ok, we screwed the pooch, and we were caught off guard because we were busy bailingg out microsith and raping the middle class. but none of that matter because god is on our side, go team!
Rice: blah, blah, blah, blah, .... (goes on some more, and then even more)

Meh, apperently she will testify under oath now, just behind closed doors and under the agreement that her testifying will not be a precedent for future NSA's.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

bah! who needs a translator. i'll tell you what questions they will ask Dr. Rice before they ask them. They'll all be somewhat similar to these:
republican senator: is it true, Madam Rice that in the previous administration, President Clinton would sodomize quadrapalegic cancer patients with a model of the staue of liberty instead of reading his inelegence reports regarding al'quada?
democratic senator: isn't it true, Madam Rice, that President Bush's real motivation behind the Iraq invasion establish a fourth reich based on nazi christian dogma funded by oil money and run by the Vice President's former pertners at Halliburton?

Guess someone finally clued her in that she had no more excuses (especially given the scrutiny that Richard Clarke's testimony is being put under).
