According to Reuters, National Security Advisor Dr. Condoleezza Rice continues to refuse to testify in public before the 9/11 Commission despite repeated requests by the panel for such testimony, which she has already provided in private.

  • Rice Rejects Calls for Public Testimony: From her 60 Minutes interview, Sunday, March 28: “Nothing would be better, from my point of view, than to be able to testify. I would really like to do that. But there is an important principle here … it is a longstanding principle that sitting national security advisers do not testify before the Congress.”
