She testifies to give answers to questions and then a few of the commissioners want to put words in her mouth. Incredible! Honestly, I thought she did real well and handled herself very professionally. I hope that the real purpose of the commision is achieved and that is to find out what went wrong and to make sure that it doesn't happen again. Please don't politicize this!!

Well, she did her own fair share of side-stepping and talking around the anser to the yes no questions. IMO, this hearing should have had no live audience as all people concerned were playing to it. It should, however have been televised or at least the transcript made available.
Interestingly, CR did everything but admit the bucj stopped at her and she screwed up, which she did. i mean if she'd have just said that or something like it, then explained why she screwed up, and then that she was working as hard as she could never to let it happen again - all in three or four sentences, one of which included "the buck stops with ME and I am sorry to letting you down," many more people would be applauding her in and outside of that room. I mean clearly her office made a huge mistake, so why not have the nads to admit it. I think that is why alot of people are pissed at her or at least have lost respect for her even though they realize as she said "their was no silver bullet" that could have stopped the 9/11 attacks. I mean it was her job to find that silver bullet and the information was available if she, or anyone else for that matter, had been wise enough to connect the dots and with a little luck.
