Live Thread - September 11 Commission, Day 2, Wednesday, March 24, 2004

CSPAN 3, CBS webfeed ^ | March 24, 2004

[Darlin']

Wow.... I was in another room just now, could hear but not see TV, was it Thompson who just finished questiong Tenet ? He finally got to critical questions of Tenet.

[Howlin]

Replacing Tenet wouldn't have stopped 9/11.

Killing OBL wouldn't have stopped 9-11 either.

[Howlin]

ROFLMAO!

[maica]

[Bob] Kerrey is just ticked -

He is so over the top in his exhibition of anger to each testifier that he is useless as an 'information gatherer.'

(For the cubicle bound):
This morning Kerrey ranted and Tenet just stared at him. When he was finished and Tenet had no idea what Kerrey had asked him, Kerrey said, "I guess that was a declarative statement."

And the panel moved on.

[Howlin]

Somebody yelling something from the back had to be removed. Couldn't hear what he was saying.

[hobbes1]

Here is the problem. Richard Clarke covered his butt. Some of his allegations are really unprovable.

Are you kidding? Clarkes book, is 180 degrees from the Source HE GAVE Richard Miniter, for "Losing Bin Laden".

If any (R) appointee on the Committee had Ball ONE, he would have that book front and center for quizzing Dick Clarke.

Clarkes book by definition makes Clarke a Liar, either TO MINITER or in HIS BOOK.

Miniters book was written Before Clarke had an axe to grind, so you tell me which is more probable.

[Consort]

Tenet is the common denominator in this and the last administrations and he was appointed by a Democrat and he is a Democrat. Most of the bureaucracy is domonated by Liberals even when the GOP controls the "front office" as they now do. It will be that way for a long time.

[StriperSniper]

he only way they can effectively refute him, is to reveal classified info, executive conversations, etc.

Wasn't that Rockey's Intel Memo plan?
(Rhet.)

[BigSkyFreeper]

Nope, your not the only one. This has been partisan from the get-go.

[JimSEA]

The left views Rice as a "race trader" becaus she does not spout the Watters-Jackson line. Racism is alive and well in the Democratic Party.

[Pukin Dog]

They are angry, because over time, sound bites fade.

Video lasts forever.

They got no video on Condi, which means they got NOTHING.

[jackbill]

Has anyone at CIA read the book?????? Are they F*ng kidding me?

I was hoping that Tenet would say "No, the pre-publication copies have only been given to the DemocRAT members of this commission".

[turbocat]

Help me here - I'm getting caught up - What tape?

[Dr Snide]

Is it Howard Dean?

[Richard Kimball]

It was perfectly reasonable to ask about an Iraq connection. That was the connection 90% of the American public made, and was a reasonable one. When the evidence showed that Afghanistan was a better starting point, we targeted Afghanistan.

[hobbes1]

It always has been.

[arasina]

Ahhh....the reasoned thinking of Pukin Dog, once again calming the roiled waters of FRustrated FReepers.

[kabar]

Roemer is the most partisan member of the panel. He is focussing on the "9" months of the Bush administration. Tenet has been the head of the CIA for almost 8 years.

[OXENinFLA]

How is he reading from a PDB(pres. daily briefing)?

I thought they were classified.

[Miss Marple]

Correctomundo. They want video.
