Condoleezza Rice is now spilling the beans on things that happened behind the scenes during the tumultuous Bush Administration. The former Secretary of State describes an especially scary incident during which high levels of “the most deadly toxin known” were found in the White House sensors. It appears that Dick Cheney lost his cool.
It was just a few weeks after September 11, 2001 when Condoleezza Rice accompanied the president on a trip to China for the APEC summit. In Shanghai Vice President Cheney appeared on a secure video conference line and delivered President George W. Bush this message:
“The Vice President came on the screen and said that the White House detectors have detectedbotulinum toxin, and we were all– those of who exposed were going to die,” Rice told me.
He said that?
“Yes, he said that. And I remember everybody just sort of freezing, and the President saying, ‘What was that? What was that, Dick?’” Rice, who was the National Security Advisor at the time, said.
