LOL. That's about it.
Russert: Reading former FBI Director Freeh's letter in the Wall Street Journal regarding Able Danger. Why did 9/11 Commission ignore this and determine information was not historically significant?
Hamilton: We loooked at AD very cafefully and we don't think there was anything there of significance. Something could come out in the future. Freeh had no new evidence. We requested all the documents related to AD and we reviwed the documents. We had investigators meet with AD people and the bottom line is that they provided no documentary evidence to support their charges.
Russert: Weldon says they gave the chart to National Security advisory Hadley.
Hailmilton: And Hadley says that isn't true. We just need evidence to support the charges. We don't accuse anyone here of bad intentions. Mr. Freeh's article didn't bring forward any new evidence. We concluded the information wasn't valid.
Kean: No evidence to back it up. The White House denies it. The Pentagon denies it. If this is true, it's a monstrous conspiracy.
Russert: You found there was no connection between AQ and Iraq and no evidence they worked to attack the US.
Kean: That's correct. (WHAT BS. LOTS OF EVIDENCE BETWEEN IRAQ AND AQ BUT NONE THEY WORKED TOGETHER TO ATTACK THE US SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER).
Russert: If one year from now we have the exact same report, no progress on recommendations, what will you say.
Hamilton: We believe another attack will occur and we'll be disappointed if no progress has been made on recommendations.
Russert: Who has to grab hold of this? Is it the President?
Kean: The president and the Congress.
Russert: When are you going out of Business.
Kean: December 21 (or 23rd). I missed the date.
Now..Juan blah blah.
Brit says the paying to put TRUTHFUL stories in the Iraqi press shows that it is hard to to fight the war on two fronts.."Free Press more important then getting the truth out if one has to pay the paper,perception in Washington and public is the problem..
Notes there were supposed be a notice like you put on advertisements..Kristol thinks it was fine if that was the only way to get it out...says that kind of thing normal in that part of the world.
Consensus..lots of cluck clucking, investigation, pontificating..(My guess..probably will not allow it unless firmly labelled as paid for and quadruple checked for accuracy)
