She OWNED them.
Dem: "Did you or did you not receive reliable information, from the Clinton Administration, that said that Osama Bin Laden was preparing to attack the United States vital interests?"
Condi: "Yes, we did. And we held numerous meetings to discuss that intel. The January 25th memo you are refering to said to expect 'Something Big'. Now tell me Senator, how do you defend against 'Something Big'?"
She is sharp as a tack, and backed Beneviste down hard. The Senator asked her to read the title of a memo ("Osama is planning attacks on America"), but not the message of the memo ("But we don't know where, how or when.") She read the whole memo anyway.
Game, set, match. Condi 1, crybaby political hacks 0. Bet you they won't be asking her back to testify.
