The funniest part of the hearing was when Rice was attacked by Bob Kerry for going to war with Iraq and not dealing with the problems Kerry thought were more important at the time. Rice said she remembered a speech by Kerrry encouraging us to go after Saddam. When Kerry tried to change the subject Rice rubbed his face in it by calling the speech "brilliant" etc. Kerry is just one more hypocrite playing the Monday mourning quarterback. Bush would do well to drop Cheney and add Rice to the ticket as vice president. Meanwhile the likes of Bob Kerry continue to make fools of themselves.

It isn't like it wasn't in the news:

There seems to be NO proof that Ashcroft was freaked out by a general terrorism plot on commerical planes, but it seems more likely that the FBI thought he, HIMSELF, was a target (not unlikely seeing how unpopular he was).
Besides, supposing if he had done so on the basis of Al Queda reports, what was he supposed to say? We have some sources saying terrorists may hijack planes and crash them into things, so don't fly? Yeah, right. After all the people laughing at Ashcroft died down, they'd protest his Patriot Act to the high heavens. Get real!

She did quite well in my opinion in deflecting Sava-like attacks against her character. She is a very smart woman and outsmarted everybody in that committee.
Yeah she is so incompetent..
