Okay, am I lost? Why would the memo have a date of 2002 on it, if it was an "after action report" from the Clinton administration?

It's about the memo that was leaked about the Senate Intell and the dems on the committe using the info to take down Bush during the election

I see I was wrong (I'll explain in a sec), but I was thinking how the creation of the 9/11 Commission was out of a partisan desire to show "Bush Knew" and it was created in 2002.

Now, the reason I see the memo must have been written in 2003 is this part of it:

"For example, in addition to the President's State of the Union speech, the chairman [Sen. Pat Roberts] has agreed to look at the activities of the office of the Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, as well as Secretary Bolton's office at the State Department.

That must be a reference to the infamous "Sixteen Words" from the 2003 SOTU.

But I still maintain it's part of the same plan. Take intelligence and twist it for partisan purposes. Can anything be more despicable? We've known it for ages, but it's still stunning when one ponders it for any amount of time.
