LIVE THREAD: Hardball's 12 Missed Chances That Could Have Prevented 9/11

MSNBC ^ | July 21, 2004 | Chris Matthews/Lisa Myers

[Howlin]

On Sept. 11, 2001 — it all seemed so sudden, and without warning. But three years and two investigations later, it's clear there was a tragic trail of missed opportunities to stop some of the hijackers, disrupt the plot and perhaps save 3,000 lives.

We can be prepared to DISCUSS/REFUTE the following items that will be discussed on this show tonight at 9:00 P.M. EDT.

End of HardBall Special...

"Thanks for watching this Hawd Baw special edition. I'm Hissy Matthews and I thank you for watching and not puking on the tv.......so until the next Hawd Baw...I bid you good night...and I will now go stick my head in Kerry's @$$ to see if I can find my lips"

I'm ArmyBratproud and I approved this insulting of Chrissy Matthews

[freeperfromnj]

Same here. I've cut down watching a lot over the last several weeks. It gets to a point where it's not worth getting upset over anymore. The best thing we could all do is just not watch - then maybe his ratings would go below the 0.1 share

[nopardons]

This stuff is mind blowing!

Aaron Brown is showing the video also .. and the opporunity that was missed

Ummm .. They DID screen them and did their job .. BEFORE 9/11 you were allow to carry pocket knives

[woodyinscc]

I just heard this. Scarborough told it like it is, hope he has a contract.

[Howlin]

Narco News Commentary: Under oath and "the penalties and pains of perjury" last November, Assistant Secretary of State Rand Beers made a blatantly false statement, toying with the emotions of American citizens after the aerial attacks of September 11th to try to justify, of all things, aerial herbicide attacks on Ecuadoran peasant farmers near the Colombia border.

Now he swears under oath that his outrageous and shocking statement was false.

Thus, a high official of the U.S. government had to admit in court that he had committed perjury; lied under oath to the same court.

Narco News has obtained a copy of the State Department fixer's "correction" filed in the court case by Ecuadoran farmers against Dyncorp, the company contracted to attack them.

Here, we publish it, as we did Beers' deposition, in full.

Clinton defends aide during Denver book stop  Denver Post  7-21-04

"We were all laughing about it on the way over here," the former president said of the investigation into Samuel "Sandy" Berger on classified terrorism documents missing from the National Archives. "People who don't know him might find it hard to believe. But ... all of us who've been in his office have always found him buried beneath papers."
