UPDATE: I just realized that one thing Rice said in that story jumped out when I read it:
"This all took place in my role as national security adviser," she said. "There is a constitutional principle. There is a separation of powers and advisers to the president under that constitutional principle are not generally required to go and testify in Congress."
"Are not generally required."
It's been pointed out many times that the Republican line of "separation of powers" and "executive privelege" for such discussions meant absolutely nothing to Republicans when Clinton was president, so I guess she felt like she had to cover her ass with that weak little statement.
More on the testimony of 31 Clinton administration aides.
