Some of the candidates were asked questions about "leadership."
Giuliani, on ensuring his administration would be open to information that might not be flattering: “I would be extremely open. I’m used to it – I’m used to being analyzed.” “I’ve had both an open, transparent government and an open, transparent life.”
Romney, on whether he wants to respond to Alan Keyes’ previous answer on abortion: “I’m not sure.” (crowd laughter). Then explains his transformation from pro-choice to pro-life.
Thompson, on how he would make use of national intelligence: “”That’s probably the most important question asked today.” “You’ve got to rebuild from the bottom up.” “In the meantime, we’ve got to rely on other people,” (cites the British).
Quick analysis: Pretty shocking answer by Thompson, who not only said that American intelligence is unreliable but that we should rely on foreign intelligence until American reforms are enacted. Did he really mean that?
