Answer: I believe implicity that they id'd Atta on a chart. I can't corrobate them completely because I didn't myself see his picture and name on a chart but when they say they saw his name, I believe them.
Specter: I have a report. You feel strongly about this matter that you feel every night when you go to bed you believe if the program had not shut down, that 9/11 could have been prevented.
Answer: Not completely accurate. I do go to bed every night thinking we could have prevented something and assisted the United States some way.
Goodness you are good at taking notes. I missed the beginning of the hearing and others need your summaries.
Finally Sessions up.
time to haul in rummy under oath and turn up the heat. this stinks.
You got your wish...Jeff Sessions up!
Gentry was the name of who told him to delete the documents?
But it was a LAW???
Wayne Coleman was Sec of Defense at the time.
Sessions: AR-31-10 was the culprit that got you into this and required a deletion or do you think the deletions were not necessary under the regulations?
Answer: I made the deletions. I was ordered by whoever wrote the regulations and I understand the regulations were written before the internet (open source info). I could have forgotten to delete it but I would have been in violation of the regulation.
Sessions: One minute you get in trouble for following regulations and then in trouble for not following. You consulted lawyers about the regulations and they todl you you had to follow the regulation. Who was secretary of Defense? It wasn't Rumsfeld?
Answer: No. (Couldn't hear who it was).
Sessions: From your perspective, do you feel the regulation should be modified to allow this kind of activity and it wouldn't adversely impact our view that military shouldn't be involved in intel in the US?
Answer: I can't give you an answer.
Finally Sessions Question: Who was Sec of Defense at the time? Answer: William Cohen
Sessions establishing that Rumsfeld NOT at Pentagon at the time of this...
Shoudl we all go to the live thread?
William Cohen
That's a shorter thread you linked; let's encourage them to come over here.
I knew something wasn't correct about that! lol!
That's OK!
Yeah, but Rummy is blocking witnesses now.
That's a problem.
Nope I moved to this thread from the live thread you are doing a better job.
This witness keeps stressing it was the ARMY that gave the order from their rules...
Waco?
I am confused. Was their an order to destroy documents or was it simply a RULE that this guy followed. If he wasn't told by a person..then were they others told by a person.
