According to the Reuters report:<\/p>\n<div class=\"media\">On the eve of her testimony, the White House reversed course and signaled it would cooperate with the commission&#8217;s request to review a speech Rice had been due to deliver on the day of the Sept. 11 attacks touting missile defense as a priority rather than al Qaeda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are cooperating with the commission fully,&#8221; an administration official said when asked if the White House would provide the panel access to the speech.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Hmmm&#8230;they will let them &#8220;review&#8221; it. Does that mean they&#8217;ll <i>give<\/i> it to them and we&#8217;ll all get to see it? It was to have been a public speech after all. Or, like other documents from the Whitehouse (actual secret ones), will they be allowed to walk past it quicklky in the dark naked with a flashlight?<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll find out tomorrow morning. They are, after all, &#8220;cooperating with the commission fully&#8221;, so we can all look forward to that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 great questions for Condi from Peter Bergen in Sunday&#8217;s NY Times.
