Here we go . . . Commission will want all Bush PDBs . . . What about Clinton's? - especially those leading up to the multiple attacks that occurred on his watch

I suspected this. When I first heard about this infamous PDB one of my first thoughts were about previous ones including those sent to Clinton. Surely this wasn't the first briefing to mention Al Quaida and how they want to kill us.
To: plain talk
you will never see the clinton ones released, or even asked for, by the committee.

Bush will take a very public stand here. They are giving the president the opportunity to unwinding their new "precedent".

Aug. 6, 2001 briefing on al-Qaida only latest in series of warnings about terror threat sent to White House... Drudge just cannot stop himself from hyping it, can he?
*Sigh* It was not a "warning sent to the White House." It was a REQUESTED REPORT ON BACKGROUND generated by a request by the president for a compilation of all the available current information.

Well if they are anything like the August 6 memo they will be a dud. IMHO the smoking gun is the Gorelick memo creating a wall between agencies such as the FBI and the CIA. That is serious in my opinion. Basically klintoon was treating terrorism as a police problem. I would like to know when the arrest warrants for Bin Laden were issued and when klintoon claimed he had no reason to arrest him??? Parley
To: Howlin
Not to mention, Drudge's teaser is not very well written

yes, but the perception presented by the media is reality for many people, this is what the media is trying to achieve.
To: Parley Baer
IMHO the smoking gun is the Gorelick memo Gorelick certainly should be embarassed.
Can anyone confirm that it was Billy or his administration who stopped the CIA's use of bad guys as informants or to infiltrate bad-guy organizations?

I beleive a lot of the credit for that goes to Robert "Torch" Toricelli, former failure, senator, from my state of New Jersey.
IIRC it predates Clinton, but I could be wrong about that.

It's A Washington Post story about all the memos the August PDB sums up!
To: Spotsy
The headline should have added that action was taken!
To: jocon307
You are right. It was that self-aggrandizing, holier-than-thou FORMER Rat senator, "the Torch," .... Robert "Rolex-Begging-Toricelli who decided that our intel agents just shouldn't deal with less than sterling characters in the hunt for intelligence, as if the underworld could possibly be populated with upstanding people. WHATTAJERK!
Other than that, I don't have much of an opinion about him .. ;-)

Yeah, sometimes Drudge looks like a liberal site with his headlines and bad photos.

What's even more important, is EVERY democRAT on the
committee WILL try to delay the report to be released
CLOSER to the election.
And it's ALL election-year hogwash! Very sad for the
memories of those who died.

Apparently Bush was busy passing Ted Kennedy's education bill. The 'right' to an education trumps life and property.
