I remember thinking Ben Veniste was a major disappointment on the 911 Commission but can't recall why. Am I misremembering?

(46,166 posts)7. He's the one who made Condi Rice read the header of the 8/6 Presidential Daily Briefing
Remember how she balked and he kept at her until she read the title of the briefing.
I don't recall how he may have been a disappointment. But we can research and find out.
