Rice Press Briefing (of Lies) from May 16, 2002
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/05/20020516-13.html

Lie #1: "And had this President known ... known that a plane was going to be used as a missile, he would have acted on it. But the fact is, this, in retrospect even, looks hard to put together. At the time, we were looking at something very different. To the degree that hijacking was an issue, it was traditional hijacking."

Lie #2: "The President and I talked all the time during this period of time about al Qaeda."

BIG LIE #3: "We were worried about al Qaeda, and al Qaeda was clearly at the top of the heap."

1. And of course...
Rice May 2002: " I want to reiterate that during this time, the overwhelming bulk of the evidence was that this was an attack that was likely to take place overseas."

Remember Kerrey reading from the 8/6/01 briefing today:

"that the FBI indicates patterns of suspicious activity in the United States consistent with preparations for hijacking. "

4. Also note the Whitehouse censorship
Q Dr. Rice, are you aware of the reports at the time that -- was in Washington on September 11th, and on September 10th, $100,000 was wired to Pakistan to this group here in this area? While he was here meeting with you or anybody in the administration?

DR. RICE: I have not seen that report, and he was certainly not meeting with me.

the "--" should say "ISI Chief" (ie Pakistan's security service)
