"First of all, I don't know that this meeting took place, but what I
really
don't know, what I'm quite certain of, is that it was not a meeting in
which
I was told that there was an impending attack and I refused to respond."
-- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, 10/1/06, denying she met with CIA
officials George Tenet and Cofer Black on July 10, 2001 to discuss an
impending attack on the U.S. homeland

"The State Department confirmed that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

spells dissolve, and the people recovering their true sight, restore their
government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are
suffering deeply in spirit,
and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public
debt. But if the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have
patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning
back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are
at
stake."
