RICE CAUGHT IN LIE? - News.com.au | (11-02-2005)

News.com.au | Rice 'urged to meet on al-Qaeda' (11-02-2005):

"EIGHT months before the September 11, 2001, attacks, the White House's then counterterrorism adviser urged then national security adviser Condoleezza Rice to hold a high-level meeting on the al-Qaeda network, according to a memo made public today.

'We urgently need such a principals-level review on the al-Qaeda network,' then White House counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke wrote in the January 25, 2001, memo.
...................................

However, Ms Rice wrote in a March 22, 2004, column in The Washington Post that 'No al-Qaeda threat was turned over to the new administration'."
