Geraldo's comments are very insightful. It shows the depth of feeling that caused him to jump back into the war correspondent role. Often he has been framed as an ambulance chaser or opportunist, but who can say that effectively in hearing his comments about his own kids questions and the importance of those things that are happening now.

This PDB has been in the news for years and the content characterized and so on.
This is the right decision.
To: KC Burke
Exactly. He KNEW those people who died. And I bet the ones HE knows aren't the ones WE see on TV day in and day out.

Aug. Memo Focused On Attacks in U.S.
Lack of Fresh Information Frustrated Bush
By Bob Woodward and Dan Eggen
Washington Post Staff Writers
Sunday, May 19, 2002; Page A01
The top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush on Aug. 6 carried the headline, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.," and was primarily focused on recounting al Qaeda's past efforts to attack and infiltrate the United States, senior administration officials said.
The document, known as the President's Daily Briefing, underscored that Osama bin Laden and his followers hoped to "bring the fight to America," in part as retaliation for U.S. missile strikes on al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan in 1998, according to knowledgeable sources.
Bush had specifically asked for an intelligence analysis of possible al Qaeda attacks within the United States, because most of the information presented to him over the summer about al Qaeda focused on threats against U.S. targets overseas, sources said. But one source said the White House was disappointed because the analysis lacked focus and did not present fresh intelligence.

Ben-Viniste's comments from Condi's testimony:
RICE: I believe, Mr. Ben-Veniste, that you've had access to this PDB. But let me just...
BEN-VENISTE: But we have not had it declassified so that it can be shown publicly, as you know.
RICE: I believe you've had access to this PDB -- exceptional access. But let me address your question.
BEN-VENISTE: Nor could we, prior to today, reveal the title of that PDB.

Remember this fact...... The failures of Pearl Harbor weren't investigated UNTIL AFTER WWII ENDED! Actually not the case. Several investigations during the war too. One prescient congressman said we would find out we weren't prepared for Pearl Harbor because we weren't prepared. Everyone thought the war would start in the Phillipines.

Whoa......Geraldo ....opening up on the 9/11 commission. Call me a cynic but I suspect his contract with fox is up for renewal and he's playing nice. Never trust a guy who invited the Clintoons to his wedding.
