Shouldn't info be available before election?

We need to give time for the investigation - it's important. Plenty of time for American people to decide if Bush made right decision, and he looks forward to the debate.

Commission set up is for long-term users of intelligence - future presidents, etc.

(I'm paraphrasing because I can't type so fast.)

Testify before commission? Bush will be glad to talk with them, tell them what he thinks.

Strongly supportive of Tenet.

Can't reveal info from daily briefings: might lead to compromised info in the future.

Need full analysis done to better prepare homeland for future. This is about war. We need to be prepared for the future.

Will we capture OBL before the election (senator who says we will)? Pres. laughs ironically, says "I appreciate his optimism." Says we're doing well at dismantling al-Qaeda & we're looking hard for OBL.
