From what I have read, it isn't customary for National Security Advisors to testify in public.
I think accurate information can be gleaned from Dr. Rice behind closed doors so as to prevent a political witch hunt in a public forum - which would be sad and defeat the purpose of getting down to the root cause analysis of how 911 occured and what can be done to prevent future terrorist attacks on our soil.
The blame game is counter-productive. BOTH administrations failed miserably. A war on terrorism should have been covertly "declared" long ago with surgical strikes at key targets, counter insurgencies, psychological warfare, cyber warfare, supporting opposition leaders and assasinations in my opinion. We had Bin Laden on live footage from a Predator Drone. F15's should have been hauled in ASAP to level the entire area with a rapid response special OP's unit to go in under serious close air support to liquidate any remenants.
Too much bureaucracy, slashing of Intelligence spending and United Nations drivel. I kind of blame Clinton for that
