Condi Rice’s opening statement is here.
(CTV is running their usual morning show, talking movie reviews at the moment. CBC has cartoons on. CKOM talkradio is interviewing someone about the Masters.)
Michelle at the Command Post is blogging the Q&A session live.
If there has been any doubt about the partisanship involved in the 911 commission, note this comment from Michelle about Bob Kerrey’s [D] questioning… about the Cole bombing.

“I’m trying very hard not to interject opinion into this, but Kerrey has some pair to try to blame the Bush admin for not responding to the Cole bombing. Like this guy, I notice that Condi did not retort by brining up the obvious that THE COLE BOMBING HAPPENED DURING THE CLINTON ADMIN!”

“This guy” is Powerline Blog – also following the action. (Actually, more comprehensively)
Update – The Command Post now has actual transcripts
In contrast to some of the angst at Powerline, John Gormley, a conservative local Canadian talk show host just mentioned he’s been watching the testimony and thinks she’s handling the questioning extremely well. Not an unbiased oberserver, but a little more detached than her nervous supporters in the US.

Anne Mclellan – Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness – was interviewed on CBC Radio this morning. She was invited to respond to the criticisms of the Auditor General on glaring failures and gaps in homeland security, and the continuing problems with lack of integration between security and intelligence agencies.

“Appreciate the question … challenges … new committee … my department … same in Britain … as we saw in the US … challenges… lessons learned … bring cultures together …. challenging problems … God forbid … another 911 … challenging … accountable … my department …. as we saw in Madrid … challenges … lessons learned … “

We’re all going to die.

The suspect arrested Monday in Ottawa is now reported to be linked to the British bombing plot.

Mohammad Momin Khawaja, a Canadian government computer specialist, was held in Ottawa on Monday.
He was later accused of involvement in terrorist activity around the London area.
Early on Tuesday morning 700 British police raided 24 addresses in the South East of England, arrested eight young men and recovered half a ton of ammonium nitrate fertiliser – favoured by terrorists for manufacturing bombs.
Late last night police were granted another three days to question the suspects, meaning they can be detained under the Terrorism Act until Saturday afternoon.
It was also disclosed that a number of the eight – all British citizens mainly of Pakistani descent – had attended al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan.
Canadian suspect Khawaja, 29, was arrested at the Foreign Ministry offices where he worked.

Yesterday his father, Mahboob Khawaja, a university prof living in Saudi Arabia, called the raids in Canada and London “a hoax to create embarrassment”. Today the Saudis detained him, too..
