CONDOLEEZZA RICE GRANTED EMERGENCY LYING POWERS
"The White House today backed down from their opposition to National Security Advisor Rice testifying at the 9/11 Comission next month.

However, the White House did confirm that the constitutional issues regarding separation of powers had not gone away, and hence it was forced to grant the Security Advisor a selection of emergency powers, including a special dispensation to "lie, obfuscate, mislead, deceive and if necessary thieve," if her constitutional position were threatened."
