How the hell could the 911 Commission leave out Tenet's report

[joemurphy]

to Rice in making their final report to the country?

This is totally mind-boggling.

I'm not listening to any of their sanctimonious shit anymore. I'm not listening to ANYBODY'S sanctimonious shit anymore. This, for me, does it.

Jesus! Amazing! Fucking, bluestockinged turds.

Rice should resign NOW!

1. They "didn't want to play the blame game" PUKE

15. Yeah, it was..the commissions and the repuke

leadership spend all their time and energy Covering Up the criminal activities of the republiCONs. And didn't they just vote to make the chimp their dictator?

[Individualist]

3. The Commission report was a WHITEWASH

[blm]

5. They also "promised" not to let any 9-11 revelations get into 04 campaign

which now makes me believe that Max Cleland was more PUSHED OUT than just resigned from the commission. Max, as one of Kerry's closest friends couldn't be trusted to protect their precious secrets.

6. the 9-11 Commission was the ad agency

for the bush cabal's lies about their "war on terror" marketing campaign

[rodeodance]

7. Phase II??

[Junkdrawer]

8. It left out lots and lots of stuff...

Basically, anything that didn't support the Official Conspiracy Theory was omitted.

Military Exercises on 9/11...

What happened to WTC 7...

Siebel Edmonds...

Tons and tons of stuff.

9. They did their job in the spirit of the Warren Comission....

10. Wasn't the guy who headed up the 9/11 project (staff) Rice's former

assistant. In fact, wasn't he in the room when she got her first briefing from Berger and Clark? Who ever thought he was not placed in that position to protect Rice and WH.

In his attempt to cover up the earlier Rice/Bush meeting by leaving out this important pc. from the final report he forgot to factor in Woodward.

11. Before Condi testified Kean lobbied

the other members of the commission. Attention was shooting up about Rice's coming testimony, and Kean told the other commission members that the commission was in danger of looking "partisan." In other words, if the whole truth came out and Bush looked worse than Clinton, the commission would be "partisan."

I noticed when Rice testified the obvious big questions weren't asked. Condi and Ashcroft and others refused to be involved with the details of what was happening. The White House did more than ignore terrorism. They built a wall against being informed about it. Nobody asked the obvious question - Why?

The answer was right in front of the commission. Bush said, "I'm tired of swatting at flies." Bush wanted nothing done and ordered nothing be done beyond his delusional idea that Al Qaeda could be wiped out completely with one bold stroke. Bush stopped the hunt for Bin Laden.

Condi even got away with telling the commission that Bush saying "I'm tired of swatting at flies" was a great accomplishment and proved they were tougher on terrorism than Clinton.

Of course, nobody worried about the commission looking partisan when the subject was Clinton. When Bush's turn came, the Democrats rolled over for Kean saying it was partisan to question Bush. I've seen the Democrats admit to it on TV.

13. Because the Bushies covered it up!!!

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/30/911-meeting/

Many, many questions need to be asked and answered about this revelation — questions that the 9/11 Commission would have asked, had the Commission been told about this significant meeting. Suspiciously, the Commissioners and the staff investigating the administration’s actions prior to 9/11 were never informed of the meeting.

As Commissioner Jamie Gorelick pointed out, “We didn’t know about the meeting itself. I can assure you it would have been in our report if we had known to ask about it.”

This is being linked from the WP op-ed page BTW.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SCANDALOUS! THE WORST 9/11 REVELATION YET!!!!!!

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Maybe the same way CIA analysts left out contradicting facts

You know how the Bush junta handles inconvenient facts, right?

[Skidmore]

16. Rice should resign and take Rummy and Bolton and Gonzalez with her

and not let the door hit any of them on the way out.

[valerief]

17. Dirty Rice. nt

18. How?! Zelikow had final cut!

It's called self-interest:

Fletcher Grad Named Adviser To Rice

Philip ZelikowPhilip Zelikow, a political scholar who served as executive director of the 9/11 Commission, will become a senior adviser to the new secretary of state.

Medford/Somerville, Mass. <03.2.05> Philip Zelikow, a Tufts graduate who won praise as the executive director of the commission investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, has been selected to serve as senior adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

"Philip and I have worked together for years, and I value his counsel and expertise," Rice said in a statement. "I appreciate his willingness to take on this assignment."

Zelikow and Rice, who worked together in the National Security Council during George H.W. Bush's presidency, co-authored a book in 1995 entitled Germany Unified and Europe Transformed: A Study in Statecraft.

They should BOTH resign, if there is any justice, though I am dubious that there is.
