Don't believe the jerk!
Hamilton is the grandfatherly, reassuring figure the government pulls out when they need a "believable" liar.
Remember Reverand John Danforth and The Waco Report. LOL!
Remember The Warren Report. It's all bull.
Lee Hamilton, the 9/11 commission's co-chair, told Fox News on Wednesday, "The Sept. 11 commission did not learn of any U.S. government knowledge prior to 9/11 of surveillance of Mohammed Atta or of his cell. Had we learned of it, obviously it would've been a major focus of our investigation."
Oh, obviously Lee.
You lying sack of cat excrement.
Apparently even Krauthammer disavowed it!!!
What a bunch.
A little more.
If the commission staffers didn't bother to look into Able Danger, then their notes aren't going to be worth much.
And while the Commission was at it, why didn't they send someone to Prague to talk to the people involved in the report of the Mohammed Atta/al-Ani meeting?
There does seem to be a huge investment on the part of some people in keeping 9/11 and Iraq separate? Why? So what if there was a link? Is this something the American public is not supposed to know?
There's some information about the motivations of the government participants before and after 9/11 that's missing here. I'd sure like to know.
"which the dems wanted to keep hidden so they could continue to pillory the Bush admin with the "no connection" between Atta and Iraq mantra."
The Dems need to get hammered on this until they stop using these events for their own political purposes.
"I have no idea why anyone is willing to believe Weldon."
Okay, but having heard some of the pronouncements out of the 9/11 Commission in the last few days, and reading about some of the things that were left out of their findings, I don't believe some of what they say, either.
I recall, however, that there was a substantial effort by some of the Commisssion and their friends in the media to put the blame on the Bush Administration, and Condoleeza Rice in particular.
You have to be a little suspicious of any article with an error this big. I'm sure Weldon is flattered but methinks unless PA has 3 Senators then Weldon is a Congressman not a Senator.
It was the 'staffers' who got the briefing. It was up to the staffers to inform the principles.
Yes, indeed. But do we really know yet that they didn't?
Somewhere, someone is busy beginning a best-seller.
Thanks for the ping!
Well .. the staffers must have informed somebody because Hamilton has now confessed that he was briefed.
Did I say Weldon was a Senator ..??
I don't believe I would say that .. because I know he's a member of Armed Services and Homeland Security in the House.
They "need to get hammered on this" and the other issue of NO WMD which they always use .. especially since the other day our guys found a huge chemical plant with active chemicals in it. I've been waiting for the Pentagon to tell us what was in those containers and what the stuff could be used for.
We had an idea that Bergers theft of papers from the archives most likely had to do with Clinton and 911. It is more obvious now. The media will continue to give him and his PIAPS witch a pass however. Amazing that they haven't found a way to blame Bush yet, but I imagine they will sooner or later.
I was surprised to hear Charles Krauthammer doing the same thing today.
