If she wasn't so close to the President, I think Condi could've gotten fired for this:
The Bush administration admitted it wrongfully abducted a German citizen on suspicion of terrorism, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday after a meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Berlin.The first step is admitting the mistakes, Condi. This was a very small first step....but you have many, many bigger ones to admit and rectify.
Rice declined to comment on the specifics of the case of Khaled Masri but said she pledged to Merkel that "when and if mistakes are made, we work very hard and as quickly as possible to rectify them."
