It was kindhearted. She is a brilliant researcher.

[G.Mason]

"I wish FReepers would take note. Listen to what she has to say and not what she looks like. This is not the Today show."

I'll second that!

What is this? A beauty show.

Listen to the woman. Is she slurring her words and talking irrationally?

[leadpenny]

She does have an unusual speech pattern but that jerk that said she looks like she is drunk needs to rot in hell.

[NeoCaveman]

Definitely. I have no doubt it was Iraq behind the anthrax, and I believe the Bush administration believes that as well.

Of course the Bush Administration knows. Why they didn't use it as causus beli(sp?) for invading Iraq, I don't know.

[Peach]

It's an enduring mystery to me as well.

A caller just aksed about Flight 800.

Her personal opinion: Date of that disaster was Iraq National Day. Saddam had given a very angry speech that morning. Some fax was sent to the Saudi General who was joint with Schwartzkopf that day. She believed and the FBI -- she names Kallstrom -- believed it was terrorism. Iraq.

Skips over why that wasn't pursued. "But the level of evidence was not as great as other terrorist incidents I don't want to go into here today..."

[bvw]

She didn't say what the fax said.

Good Book, I read it in like 2 nights.

[carton253]

I have never known you to be anything but kind... :)

What did the woman caller have to say. (Boss talking to me... getting in the way of my freeping)

[Peach]

I wonder what those other incidents are that she doesn't want to discuss!???

[carton253]

I think it is because they can't prove it...

[Semper911]

Listen to what she has to say and not what she looks like

Yes, she seems to have a speech impediment, and perhaps a facial palsy of some sort.

I have never heard her speak before, but I have to assume from the clarity of the substance of her responses, she is most certainly NOT drug or alcohol impaired.

I think I'll buy her book.

[John W]

It is indeed a mystery if they know and didn't use it,in fact,haven't told us.You both admit to not knowing why.Do you assume whatever the reason it was a good one?I'm not certain it isn't just another "crowd control" issue by the folks in power.

[hobbes1]

Of course the Bush Administration knows. Why they didn't use it as causus beli(sp?) for invading Iraq, I don't know.

Because the information is far too intricate, for general public assimilation.

Look at the short shrift given to the Ramzi Yousef/KSM/Iraq/Baluchistan connection.

[JulieRNR21]

Watching now.....she's great. She knows her stuff!

Will definitely be checking into her book!

[Peach]

Last female kneepad caller said that the Bush admin. just ignored the excellent advice given by the Clinton's and that it was the Republicans in Congress and a disgruntled Louie Freeh who ignored some evidence (I think; I sort of tune out those callers because they get their talking points from the DNC and it's senseless).

[hobbes1]

See Above.

[Peach]

I don't profess to know why the Bush admin. hasn't talked more about the anthrax issue. I can only think it's because they don't have "proof" that will satisfy the media and why bother. They know what they know and feel comfortable enough with their knowledge to go to war.

[carton253]

If people really believe that Clinton gave Bush excellent advice... then... well, I don't know what.

It just proves that people are idiots.

[leadpenny]

I want you to know I was not attacking you. Just frustration over the rude caller.

This hour will be re-aired at Noon Eastern.
