George Tenet, CIA Director, is due to testify to the 9/11 Commission.

Later today the FBI Director, Meuller, will testify.

If I were married to Ms. Breitweiser I too, would have remained in the burning building.

[Miss Marple]

Do you know something?

[Howlin]

I have looked at it before; it took so long because I couldn't remember the exact phrase to type into Google!

[Quilla]

I guess there's no need holding by breath waiting for Chris Matthews to refer to Gorelick as the Commissions' upstair maid.

[SwatTeam]

Ben Veniste is referring to the author of the PDB as "she". I will faint, I mean it, if it turns out to be Valerie Plame.

I have a theory, Valerie Plame is the analyst who wrote the Aug PDB and the hullabaloo about her being "outed" was a pre-emptive strike to increase her credibility. If she and her cohorts got out into the public that the Bush administration had tried to deliberately out her in order to endanger her life, then they have to be lying about anything and everything about "what they knew and when they knew it." They have inside information about what had been in front of the committee and what would be coming out so they got their strikes out early, starting with their willing accomplice in the press Robert Novak.

Benveneste is getting MORE time????? GEEEZZZZZ

Stick a sock in his mouth!!!!

[Carolinamom]

Thanks. Seems he was in the air more often that he was in the Oval Office (and even then, he was socializing.)

What about HIS vacation times and locations? (I remember the clintons' w/Kennedys and bill trying to look like a cowboy riding a horse in Colorada. LOL)

[petitfour]

Well, considering the latest research, Monica was keeping his prostate healthy. Hillary should thank her.

blech.

missles fired in Baghdad....Fox breaking in

[TomGuy]

FoxNews alert: Sheraton Hotel in Bagdad hit by incoming round. Some damage.

[nutmeg]

Did you see this:

Gore 1996 Airline Commission brought to the attention of the 9/11 family members (DC Chapter Report)

Way ta go, Kristinn and DC Chapter - yet again!

[Howlin]

Careful there; I got my A$$ chewed out and called DESPICABLE today by a resident moral nanny because of what I said about her husband last night.........LOL.

[cyncooper]

LOL

George Tenet has carried himself well through this drumming he's been taking.

We must be looking at two different hearings. Everyone who has questioned Tenet prefaces their remarks with effusive personal praise about Tenet. One gets the impression that Tenet is a victim and not the head of the CIA for almost 8 years and he was the deputy before that.

[woodyinscc]

in time to hear Chris Matthews say as far as we know the president was shown the PDB on his way to play golf.

Matthews has gone to la la land. Have you ever heard him talk about Clinton not taking the frantic calls from Berger when we had bin Laden in our sights? Clinton just happened to be at the Presidents Cup Golf Tournament. While Clinton could not be bothered, the window of opportunity was lost. It is patently obvious, that Clinton's strategy on terrorism, was to sweep it under the rug.

[texasbluebell]

I heard Ostrich squawking, didn't know what it was about, but just couldn't take it, so turned her off fast.

[OldFriend]

I think it was Sandy Berger who didn't want Clarke at the meetings.

[Howlin]

It was great to do that publicly, but it won't do any good; I know for a fact that Kristen Breistwhateveritis has had that report in her hands for at least 3 days. I've seen some of her responses about it. She doesn't care.

[goodnesswins]

"She doesn't make sense, rants, whines, interrupts, and seems clueless about details.

I'm beginning to think the Dems have made her the OBFUSCATION EXPERT to put out on the talk shows.....she's been on sooo many lately....and doing everything she can to poo-poo Teddy, et al's behavior....she's a dem butt l*cker, IMHO.

[Howlin]

I'm watching the same thing you are; I'm watching what is happening, not carrying around an agenda against him.

He has done a good job.
