Contrast this piece on Condi Rice testifying to the 9/11 Commission, with this one. What conservatives can't seem to wrap their minds around is that most people aren't looking for gotcha politics and that sort of thing, they just want the truth about how the government has fucked things up regarding terrorism and Iraq, whether that's good or bad for Republicans or Democrats or whatever. If Dr. Rice has the truth on her side, she should testify, it's clearly in her interests to do so. If she doesn't have truth on her side, she should testify, so we can expose her as a fraud. What is most likely is that she has elements of truth on her side, and elements of truth against her, and again, in this situation, she should testify. This isn't rocket science, which isn't brain surgery.
