Via the ABC News blog “Political Punch” comes this message from Michael Scheuer on The Path to 9/11 controversy.

“This morning we received an email from Michael Scheuer, former chief of the Osama bin Laden Unit at the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center (and the previously “Anonymous” author of “Imperial Hubris”) who is clearly no fan of either the Bush nor the Clinton Administrations — nor the 9/11 Commission. He writes the following:

“This whole business over ABC’s movie is amazing. Now Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. and a pack of political whores who pass themselves off as ‘historians’ have come out four-square for pre-publication censorship.

“As I have told you, the core of the movie is irrefutably true: the Clinton administration had 10 chances to capture of kill bin Laden. Had the 9/11 Commission not whitewashed events, personal culpability would have been assigned and we as a nation could have moved on to fight al-Qaeda. The Commission turned out to be hack-dominated, however, and ignored the documents that were presented to them, as well as the testimony it received under oath. Instead of telling the American people that the intelligence regarding bin Laden, al-Qaeda and their intentions was abundant, precise, and not acted on, the Commissioners blamed ‘the structure of the intelligence community’ for the failure and then proceeded to wreck the community with a horrendous reform package.

“The solution is really quite simple, I think. Declassify the documents and testimony of the men and women who risked their lives to collect the intelligence that Clinton and his lieutenants failed to act on. Present this information to the American people — and perhaps put some of those officers on TV to answer questions — and then let the chips fall where they may. If the critics of the ABC movie are so confident they are right, they would surely welcome this process.”

Hurrah! Bring it on Bubba! You’ve got the time? We’ve got the facts. Let’s get it all out!

Maybe he meant that there wasn't any 9/11 connections...but that were connections?

Tell me again what party is in the Majority
GOP got rolled by the dems once again

[uncbob]

are all scared $hitless of what the Democrats will do if they ever regain power.

Well if the MSM starts telling the truth the dems won't know what hit them and it would be the dems that get scared Shit*&%#

Because they will NEVER get power

And Harry Reid will be hated by the dem party for what he did

Well I can dream can't I

[uncbob]

Ticking them off? Or scaring them $hitless?

They have no reason to be scared

The MSM could destroy the Clinton's and the dems if they wanted almost overnight

[uncbob]

According to Richard Miniter... you're pretty much dead-on. Among the documents Burger stole was a list of 4 proposals dealing with killing/capturing OBL. There was a handwritten 'NO' after each one... in Rapist42's own handwriting.

And that could have come out with a congressional investigation started by the majority party

[uncbob]

The movie isn't about cover ups

I guess that means Sandy stuffing his pants ain't in it

[uncbob]

What is so hard to understand here? THis is what makes me so angry. ABC & Disney had the chance to do this perfectly, without room to argue crap. And yet..Is doing something half-way helping ANYONE, in the end?

I would have liked to see a DOCUMTENTARY but I guess they figure the American public wouldn't watch it for long

Good point. Upon refledtion, you're quite right.

But they won't ever do it, will they?

[uncbob]

But they won't ever do it, will they?

I guess right now they are having convoluted discussions in their own mind

Depends probably on whether the many years of ingrained liberal leanings win out over their valuing their freedom of expression etc

I am hoping the creep Reid went too far and made the MSM take notice who is the real enemy of the First

One would hope so. But one suspects their animus for the right and their greedy thirst for power will make the media play jackal to the Democrat lion.

The "independence" gene has been suppressed too long in the drive-by media.
