I hear Condi Rice<$NoAd$> is taking questions on her campaign swing through the midwest. Admittedly, any self-identified TPM reader probably runs a decent chance of getting arrested if he or she tries to attend one of Condi's events.

But assuming one avoids preventative detention, how about asking her this question ...

Several days ago Abu Musab Zarqawi pledged his allegiance to Osama bin Laden. He's the deadliest terrorist in Iraq today. But according to NBC news, the US had "several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation" before the war and we didn't take him out then because that would have taken away one of our reasons for invading Iraq. Do you regret that decision?

If you read the reporting by NBC and others, it's pretty clear that the call was made by Condi herself. Ask her. I'd love to hear her answer.

She can run but she can't hide.
