9/11 Commission. Now on C-Span.

Chairman Thomas Kean has asked the audience to refrain from clapping.

Louie Freeh, former FBI director, up at 9:30.

Business matters being taken care of now by the Commission.

Oh, that would be a bet I wouldn't take!!! He'll turn back into his nasty side...he must have a duo personality, one for republicans and one for democrats...does he think no one can see the difference????

[Miss Marple]

I am sorry I missed that part of Brit's show yesterday. I was cooking dinner.<p.Boy, I would have paid cash money to see a tape of that focus group!!!

[soozla]

Veniste should give up law and just opt to become a dialog and inflection coach for the Sopranos!!!!!!! GEEEESSSH!!

[Mo1]

Does Benny have a question or is he just stalling for time?

[TomGuy]

I just posted a similar comment about Brit and the Dem ad focus group.

Like minds.

I also just e-mailed the commission demanding that Monsoor's testimony be made in public and be televised.

All we can do is try...

Did you see Gerald Nadler(D) on Hannity last night? He kept saying that Klintoon(D) demanded daily meetings about terrorism while Bush(R) did not. Previously I heard that it was the other way around, Bush "revived" the practice of daily meetings about terrorism.

[Howlin]

but the commision said no!

Why?

[Jewels1091]

I must have missed it to....what are you talking about??? What focus group?

[Guenevere]

#177...he won't be like this when he questions Reno either...

....Freech gets softballs.....Reno will get marshmallows!
...he will be bootlicking like crazy...and probably drooling.

Ashcroft will get mud, bricks, nails...we must truly hold him in prayer!

The real bottom line is that they are all government bureaucrats, just like the Postal Service, IRS, etc.. What do you expect?

I don't agree with that. The FBI is full of very good cops. Counterterrorism is a new things for the FBI, so is Cyber crime. Hopefully they will get as good at these things as they are at white collar crime, violent crimes, etc. But they will never be pefect. And that's what some of these bozos like Richard Ben-Veniste want on this "commission" want. Perfection in 20/20 hindsight. Seen through their partisan rear-looking rose colored glasses. Sorry, but they can't have that. They should not be allowed to even go there. When they do it's purely political.

Bad guys will do bad things in a free society. And it's hard to stop them. Without making the free society much less free.

[Howlin]

Apparently he loves the sound of his own voice.

[Republican Red]

Yea, I searched Brit's "Grapevine" section on the Fox News web site but I couldn't find anything written about it. I'd love to see that commercial.

[BibChr]

I think having to listen to Janet Reno for whatever length of time should be punishment enough for these pinheads.

It borders on Cruel and Unusual.

I wonder if Gorelick will grill Reno as much as she did Condi.

Gorelick questioning her former boss. Such a blatant conflict of interest.

[Howlin]

Nadler was LYING.

[Miss Marple]

The focus group that the Kerry campaign called in to watch a new ad attacking the President on the war on terror.

See ToooooomGuy's post #179.

[Kaslin]

Aug. Memo Focused On Attacks in U.S. Lack of Fresh Information Frustrated Bush

[Mo1]

Every one CHOOSES to forget that the FBI was handcuffed by LAW not to talk to the CIA....and what do you expect when Reno was the head of the FBI???
