WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The daughter of a woman killed in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center urged national security adviser Condoleezza Rice on Thursday to reconsider her refusal to testify publicly before the independent commission investigating 9/11.What? On what grounds does she claim this? The same grounds that protects presidential executive orders from judicial overview?
"The American public deserves to see in public under oath what she knew ahead of time," said Carrie Lemack, vice president of the Families of September 11 group. "Anyone who has information about the attacks should do this. It's not a Republican versus Democrat issue. It's about safety."
Rice has spent several hours with the commission in private, but she has maintained that a member of the president's staff can't appear before a congressionally chartered commission without violating the Constitution's separation of powers.
