What on earth is going on in the administration?
NY Daily News - front - No Iraq link to 9/11: Breaking with other top Bush administration officials, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice disputed the possibility yesterday that Saddam Hussein was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. "I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say" Saddam was linked to Al Qaeda's suicidal hijackings, Rumsfeld said. "We have never claimed that Saddam Hussein had either direction or control of 9/11," Rice added.
That's a terribly odd position for the secretary of defense and the national security advisor to be taking publicly, especially when the president and veep seem to be asserting otherwise. One wonders what happened for them to make this sort of public break with the official administration position.
Update, 6:09pm: Oh, I see. THAT'S what's going on.
