Ex-Bush Aide Calls for Testimony on Terrorism to Be Opened
By THE NEW YORK TIMES
In the aftermath of his testimony before the Sept. 11 commission last week, President Bush's former counterterrorism chief said he would welcome declassification of his testimony two years ago before a joint House-Senate intelligence inquiry into the attacks on the United States.
On Friday, Republican Congressional leaders said that they would seek to declassify past Congressional testimony from Richard A. Clarke, a former National Security Council aide, in an effort to demonstrate he had lied this week about Mr. Bush's record.
"Let's declassify everything," Mr. Clarke said on the NBC News program "Meet the Press."
He also said that the private testimony of the president's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, before the commission should be declassified. He added that e-mail messages, memos and all other correspondence between Ms. Rice and Mr. Clarke should be included in that.

Sept. 11 Commission Will Press for Public Testimony From Rice
March 28 (Bloomberg) -- The independent panel investigating U.S. intelligence failures before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks will continue pressuring the White House to let National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice testify in public.
The commission won't force Rice to testify in an open hearing by issuing a subpoena because that would delay the investigation, said Tom Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey who is leading the probe said.
``We will accept any testimony from Dr. Rice that she has to offer,'' Kean said on the ``Fox News Sunday'' program. ``But we are still going to press, and still believe unanimously as a commission, that we should hear from her in public.''<snip>
SING WITH ME!!!
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, we're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
I went down to the chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with mr. jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to mr. jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was dead
I said to him
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
You get what you need--yeah, oh baby
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
