Because they hope to push the timeframe for the responsibility of ignoring these warnings into the early Bush administration.

"More to the point, in intelligence matters, even the Navy gets short shrift from the civies"
The civies are stupid.Not ignorant, actually stupid.
USN Intel is as just good as its carrier pilots.
Coming from a former USAF NCOIC, that's high praise indeed!

It was like 37 consecutive days... a record, I think. More consecutive days than 9/11!

They don't have a choice. It's either report it or be very late to the party.

However, I am sure it will be slanted
to the best of their ability.

It looks like the 911 Whitewash Commission has a conflicting story. Documents are missing It will soon be time to investigate DOD laywers (Clintoista's) about where
these documents are.

OReilly going toe to toe with Gordon over Gorelick. Gordon is total scum.

Does O'Reilly post transcripts?

This isn't a question about what clintoon knew, or what Bush knew. It's a question about how our gov't agencies work under any administration. The people there are the same; the only difference is regulations that get passed down.

The serious point is that if one agency knew about Atta, why couldn't they tell agencies that just might have been able to stop it? Anyone who thinks Atta was a one time event has their head in the sand. There are other dangerous people in this country, and we can't let them operate freely.

If Gorelick's wall was the only problem, fine - it's gone now. But if there are other problems, we need to know what they are, and fix them.

Maybe the NY Crimes have decided that Hitlery won't be their candidate for 2008.

Could be but it is all very weird, and the way the Committee handled the information was weird (I don't believe the Committee was out to whitewash Clinton). Maybe the book on Atta was more in the nature of speculation, but the suggestion that there is no proof these two officers fingered Atta at all, and maybe they just have faulty memories, is very strange. Where is the friggin paper trail, which the Committee denies it never saw? Hopefully there will be committee hearings, and all the players can chat about it under oath.

"thus far we've not been able to uncover what these people said they saw - memory is a complicated thing."

Especially when the supporting evidence is being archived in Sandy Berger's pants.

I would suggest that FReepers who haven't read the Congression Record report of Weldon's speech on the floor of the House sometime in June (July) 2005 do so.

So the question, Mr. Speaker, is why did they not want to go down that direction? Where will that lead us? Why do we not want to see the answers to the questions I have raised tonight? Who made the decision to tell our military not to pursue Mohamed Atta? Who made the decision that said that we are fearful of the fallout from Waco politically?

Were those decisions made by lawyers? Were they made by policymakers? Who within the administration in 2000 was responsible for those actions? This body and the American people need to know.

Something very strange is amiss amigo. Two career officers telling the same story and no paper trail at all. It spells COVERUP!
