Regress, progress, all of that. For the time being,
the interview transcript which was awaited.
Dr. Condoleezza Rice Interviewed by Jim Lehrer
Q The President's defense of National Security
Advisor Condoleezza Rice today came at a critical
time. A week ago, her chief deputy, Stephen Hadley,
acknowledged he had been warned by the CIA in two
separate memos that the Agency would not stand by
information suggesting Iraq was trying to buy
uranium in Africa to reconstitute a nuclear weapons
program. That claim made it into the President's
State of the Union speech, and CIA Director George
Tenet took the blame.
But with Hadley's admission, new questions emerged.

A significant interview below:
“Jack O’Dell was a union organizer, a civil rights
leader, and a member of the Communist Party. His
political consciousness formed in the 1940’s, when
the African-American community became more assertive
in their efforts to improve conditions and expand
civil rights. Like many blacks, including one of his
role models, Paul Robeson, O’Dell was drawn to the
Communist Party because of their staunch stand
against racism and segregation. During the 1940’s,
O’Dell found a welcoming environment in the National
Maritime Union. Later, he worked for the director of
the Southern Christian Leadership Counsel (SCLC)
office in New York, before becoming SCLC’s voter
registration director in seven southern states.”
