CIA report on 9/11 is complete
Two years after deadline, findings have yet to reach Congress

The CIA inspector general's report on the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks has finally been completed — nearly two years after its congressionally set deadline — but has yet to be sent to Capitol Hill because CIA Director Porter J. Goss is still deciding how to respond to its findings, according to administration and congressional sources.
Inspector General John L. Helgerson's voluminous report, triggered in December 2002 by a recommendation of the House-Senate inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks, was completed in June and delivered last month to Goss for his review, according to a note sent by the CIA to members of Congress on July 22. It is expected to go to the House and Senate intelligence committees soon, according to one senior administration official.
Under the joint committee mandate, the CIA director is to report back to the House and Senate intelligence committees on the steps taken to assign responsibility for poor performance and to reward excellence.
Calls for accountability delay report
One reason for the long delay in producing the report, according to present and former agency officials, has been the original requirement by the joint committee that Helgerson "determine whether and to what extent personnel at all levels should be held accountable for any omission, commission or failure to meet professional standards" in relation to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

"...Porter J. Goss is still deciding how to respond to its findings..." ???
Goodbye and good riddance mr goss, if you have to decide on HOW to respond.
An honest American would simply TELL THE TRUTH.
My God! What a concept for Washington! Tell the truth!
On average, 406 Federal employees are fired for poor job performance. They have limited experience in accountability.
Well, to be frank, this is pure politics. This report is unlikely to be anything but a political exercise, assembled under the auspices of Porter Goss's clintonoid predecessor, George Tenet.
Goss's job is to clean the clintonoids and the timeservers out of the CIA, which has been going to the dogs for the past 30 or 40 years. A report put together by the folks who have been misrunning the CIA is unlikely to be helpful.
When it reaches the Senate, does anyone imagine that the intelligence committee will do anything helpful with it other than fight over it, with the press siding with the Democrats?
No wonder Goss is sitting on it, and no wonder Walter Pincus if MSNBC is trying to present it in a light most favorable to the Democrats.
Why are you going after Peter Goss? He hasn't even been there that long. He's doing his best to clean the place up. Remember all the toes he stepped on when he first got there? He's allowed to review the report first isn't he?
Porter Goss was sent in there to clean house of clintoon toadies. If he's holding onto the findings...he has a very good reason. Let it play itself out before we judge.
Ahhhh, you're a newbie...welcome to FR.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Is Mrs. Wilson still a double-super-secret-with-cherry-on-top foreign agent plus super-duper analyst/desk jockey/leaker/travel agent extraordinnaire still there?
