Chariman of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2002 - Senator Bob Graham, D-Florida

SENATE AND HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES ANNOUNCE JOINT INQUIRY INTO THE SEPTEMBER 11th TERRORIST ATTACKS WASHINGTON (February 14, 2002) - The Senate and House Intelligence Committees will conduct a joint inquiry into the Intelligence Community's activities before, during and since the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States, the panels' leaders announced today.

Among the purposes of this joint effort is ascertaining why the Intelligence Community did not learn of the September 11th attacks in advance, and to identify what, if anything, might be done to better the position the Intelligence Community to warn of and prevent future terrorist attacks and other threats of the 21st Century. The Committees may seek to legislate changes to remedy any systemic deficiencies revealed by the joint inquiry.

The inquiry was announced by Senator Bob Graham, D-Florida, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI); Representative Porter Goss, R-Florida, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI); SSCI Vice Chairman Richard C. Shelby, R-Alabama; and HPSCI Ranking Democrat Nancy Pelosi, D-California.

The TIMING is suspicious!

[Just mythoughts]

Oh yes, I forgot about Senator Bob Graham and his presidential campaign run upon the platform of "intelligence".

Thank you.
