Yeah, that clever Ben Veniste sure got the best of Condi.

I was floored when some other freepers said earlier that Pinkerton was fooled into this line of thinking (I hope he is embarrassed).

I hope Pinkerton realizes by this point that the memo--title and all--were public knowledge, though the *actual text* not revealed until today, way back in 2002.

The sad part is that Pinkerton could have known that fact, had he been on this website this week. But I'm not sure how any thinking human being, could have watched Condi's testimony, and thought that Ben-Veniste tricked her into anything. I'm deeply saddened......

What's wierd is that I went back to Pinkerton's Newsday Op-Ed and saw this paragraph:

"The Washington Post reported in May 2002 that Bush had received a President's Daily Brief on Aug. 6, 2001, entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." But, of course, not everything that's reported becomes widely known, or is necessarily true. And so for most Americans, yesterday's 9/11 hearing provided their first occasion to learn, from the highest sources, just what was in that document."

Was that in the original, or did he get wise and add it? Would the original be cached by Google?

How about this for a bombshell memo:
To: Ariel Sharon
Subj: Palestinian Terrorists determined to strike inside Israel
Palestinian terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade want to strike inside Israel soon. Suspicious activities consistent with preparations for suicide bombings have been observed. Possible targets include buses, restaurants and large public gathering places.

That should be enough info to prevent all future attacks, and if it doesn't, they should have a Commission look into it!
