CNN article on 9/11 report, makes Chimpy look bad..

[snooper2]

I didn't see this posted but it's from last Thursday. Karl won't like this one. It's the first time I've seen an article on CNN that is this damning. This should have been the top story but is of course thrown with a small link in the law section of the website.
I hope this guy stays on it....

"Bluntly stated, either the Bush White House knew about the potential of terrorists flying airplanes into skyscrapers (notwithstanding their claims to the contrary), or the CIA failed to give the White House this essential information, which it possessed and provided to others.

Bush is withholding the document that answers this question. Accordingly, it seems more likely that the former possibility is the truth. That is, it seems very probable that those in the White House knew much more than they have admitted, and they are covering up their failure to take action."

1. Unbelievable!

These bastards are toast. I am so going to enjoy watching them burn slowly.

[caledesi]

3. Yeah, but how will this GET out? How?

Doesn't the media want to know? Aren't they the least bit curious about this major story? This makes me sick :puke: Where are Bernstein and Woodward when you need them? Hell, I'll take Larry Flynt. Where is Judicial Watch Larry?

[caledesi]

2. Look bad? This is a scathing article. They Flew - Bush Knew.

Executive Privilege?
Condi lying her ass off?

Oh this heavy stuff. Question is how can someone get these documents that * is witholding? Anybody understand how this works?

John Dean, please keep working on this.

As you said snoop...it won't be on the news. Hell, we DIDN'T even know about the executive privilege thing...lst time I have heard of it.

Remember when they trashed Clinton about Executive Privilege?

These thugs are totally inept.

[snooper2]

5. There is some way..

That Congress can overide the executive order. If a majority of the 9/11 panel agree, then it can go to the Senate, then the Senate must agree with a majority, or was it 2/3'rds? First somebody on the 9/11 commission must take the first step to bring it up and they must have a vote on it within a week.

I forgot where I read this...

4. When did the Saudi royals visit the ranch, before or after Aug 6?

Were they privy to a security briefing?

Was Aug 6 before or after the man travelling with the royal Saudis passed off a large sum of money to someone associating with the west coast hijackers?

This really does start to smell like LIHOP or MIHOP.

6. You know my husband and I have argued about 9/11 for a long time

I kept calling him a conspiracy theorist because NAIVE me could not imagine how ANYONE to allow this to happen. My heart was definitely in the way of thinking that 3000 people could die and * could let it happen.

My husband always thought that they knew, er, at least knew something was "coming down."

When I show this to him tonight, I will be wearing egg on my face.

I am a believer!

They Flew - Bush Knew.

7. Heads will roll

at CNN for letting this be published.

LIHTI: Let It Happen Through Incompetence

THe Bush* Regime's incmpetence did not start with the botched invasion of Iraq, it goes back right to the start. Rove is a brilliant political & media manipulator (and of course the corporate media have been on their side all along) so they covered it up well, appearing to be simply evil, but by now people should realize that they are evil bunglers, and the biggest thing they bungled was the pre-9/11 intelligence.

8. I hope you are aware that "this guy" is John Dean, of Watergate fame.

He's the Nixon administration insider (presidential counsel) who came forward and fessed up to the Watergate investigators. He's been offering thoughtful commentary and analysis on the bush* (mal)administration all along.

9. I know, I was surprised when Snoop mentioned "this guy"

"This guy" is John Dean, Watergate whistleblower.

[berry]

16. Somebody as high-profile as Dean should be able to get an op-ed

in almost anywhere. I wonder if he is carefully planning when and how he lets loose with damaging stuff like this. Joe Wilson also seems to be biding his time.

Before Bev Harris talked about how to get media attention, and being sure not to dump everything you know in the initial news cycle, I didn't have a clue about all this. Now, I am more content to see the dribble of news and analysis that damns Bush*--so long as it continues.

Also note: Samuel Dash (Watergate prosecuter) wrote an op-ed today for Newsday--it's at http://www.commondreams.org
It's not as long and detailed as this Dean piece, but it calls for impeachment.

Indeed, in the last few weeks the drips have become dribbles.

[Virginian]

14. Gee, I just thought he had the same name.

I looked at your link and it looks like he isn't fond of the neo-con con game.

OOPS, that was ScarletWoman's link.

13. ...and after that critical briefing, warning shrub about attacks...

the shrub went FISHING for the rest of the day....

It's time for a real Watergate hearing....time to IMPEACH SHRUB....


on edit: it's actually a really GOOD sign that this made CNN news...seems that all the news media are turning against shrub...and the BIG money too (like Soros)...it's all going against shrub...and lots are bailing off the shrub sinking ship...

17. It's simple

Bush knew about the plan, and even if he did not know he should of known that it is job to review the issues of airport security and international terrorists. But was also not Cheney making an oil deal with the very same terrorists that had been known around the world to be terrorists called the Taliban. Cheney as far as I know ordered the FBI to stop all key terrorists investigations while working out a oil deal with the Taliban. Most countries around the world have a huge airline security program just because of the Taliban prior to 9/11, and Bush and his administration were making a oil deal with the same terrorists. To defend the country prior to 9/11 would of required a big government approach to defend our country, as well as to stop dealing with terrorists would help.

He would of been required to increase airport security, he did not act on it because he did not want to have the airports increase security.

http://informationclearinghouse.literati.org/article4219.htm

"However, in January 2001, Vice President Cheney allegedly reinstated the intelligence block and expanded it to effectively preclude any investigations whatsoever of Saudi-Taliban-Afghan oil connections. Former FBI counter-terrorism chief John O’Neill resigned from the FBI in disgust, stating that he was ordered not to investigate Saudi-Al Qaida connections because of the Enron pipeline deal. Loftus has confirmed that it was O’Neill who originally discovered the AL Qaida pipeline memo after the Embassy bombings in Africa."
