This is Rep Weldon's full statement on the House floor. Seen partial transcripts of his Committee statement on June 21, this isn't it. This was the one the press ignored.

Would like to thank Nita Nupress for resurrecting the live thread to remind me of this. It was still a hard search even with most of the info already there.

Worse than the MSM letting this story die at the time is us also doing close to the same. I'm just as guilty as the rest, probably more for not chasing down the transcript like I told others to do. Sorry all.

... This is the process; this is the result of the process that I was pitching since 1999 to our government to implement, but the CIA kept saying we do not need it.
Steve Hadley said, Congressman, I am going to take this chart, and I am going to show it to the man. The man that he meant, Mr. Speaker, was the President of the United States.
I said, Mr. Hadley, you mean you have not seen something like this before from the CIA, this chart of al Qaeda worldwide and in the U.S.? And he said, No, Congressman. So I gave him the chart.
Now, Mr. Speaker, what is interesting in this chart of al Qaeda, and you cannot see this from a distance, but right here in the center is the name of the leader of the New York cell. And that name is very familiar to the people of America. That name is Mohammed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 attack against us ...

Discovering intelligence failures was exactly what the 9/11 Commission was supposed to be about.

I can't say it enough; everyone should at least take a look at the congressional record from time to time. Most people don't even know such a thing exists, or they don't think about it much.
The establishment press NEVER reports on the things that really go on amongst our federal lawmakers. This is good stuff, and I have said all along that the Clinton administration had to know about the Atta cell and did nothing, as was characteristic of their pandering and image conscious nature.
Just like Enron, for which Bush has taken a lot of heat, all this stuff was brewing for the eight years prior. It just all exploded (pardon the expression) when he got into office.

The lack of paragraphs in the text is off-putting, but the report is terrific. The "911 Commision's behavior is no mystery; it was foisted upon the Bush Administration. The Bush Administration finally took the bait. They took the bait - and right on schedule, they got the switch. Henry Kissinger was supposed to be the Republican chairman of the commission but - surprise! - the Democrats got him to recuse himself with some conflict-of-interest claim. The 911 Commission was a political hit contract put out on the Bush Administration.
Now Jamie Gorelick - there was someone with a conflict of interest! But she was kept on the commission even after Ashcroft blew her cover on the Gorelick Wall. I don't understand why Bush didn't "out" Gorelick before the commission got started taking testimony; it's hard to belive they would have been able to withstand the heat of constituting the committee with such people as that. 'Course who can explain why they were able to keep her later?
