Who watched the Senate Intelligence with 9-11 Commission today?
Mark Dayton brought up a lot of discrepencies in what the report said and how come noone was held accountable. He zeroed in on shrub, sneer and rummy, but also NORAD and head of Air Traffic Control. Basically he asked why noone had been fired, but he also connected some dots about lies the WH and administration had told.

The 9-11 Commissioners present were Keene and Hamilton, and when Dayton went after the administration, they started squirming in their seats. By contrast Norm Coleman, gave some kiss ass commentary..

Great job, Sen. Dayton!

2. I saw that! Great job, yes, but he should have demanded that
they respond to the descrepancies in the testimonies. What in the hell is the oath for anyway? I bet if you really went over all the testimony, you would come up with a lot more conflicting testimony. Did Rummy tell 2 or 3 different stories too?

5. Mark Dayton said
IIRC "It doesn’t matter if we spend 550 billion
annually on our national defense, reorganize our intelligence, establish senate oversite, new radar, it won’t be worth an
"enron pension" if they lie to us."

He talked of how NORAD lied on the times they were notified, as well as the WH administration.

6. Dayton was on fire!
Watch his portion if you can.

Most important point: Subtle accusation that members of NORAD, FAA, and Defense Dept. (Rummy) committed perjury. He quoted from the 911 Commission Report concerning the changing testimonies surrounding the timeline.
