PDB 8/6/01: be surprised!
Well, read this:

BOB KERREY:
...by the way, there's a credible case that the president's own negligence prior to 9/11 at least in part contributed to the disaster in the first place....


The famous presidential daily briefing on August 6, we say in the report that the briefing officers believed that there was a considerable sense of urgency and it was current. So there was a case to be made that wasn't made....

The president says, if I had only known that 19 Islamic men would come into the United States of America and on the morning of 11 September hijack four American aircraft, fly two into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one into an unknown Pennsylvania that crashed in Shanksville, I would have moved heaven and earth. That's what he said. Mr. President, you don't need to know that. This is an Islamic jihadist movement that has been organized since the early 1990s, declared war on the United States twice, in '96 and '98. You knew they were in the United States. You were warned by the CIA. You knew in July they were inside the United States. You were told again by briefing officers in August that it was a dire threat. And what did you do? Nothing, so far as we could see on the 9/11 Commission. Now, that's in the report. And we took an oath not to talk about it during the campaign, I think correctly so, to increase the capacity of that commission's report to be heard by the people's Congress.


Read it:

I didn't know which emoticon to choose:
:wtf: :argh: :mad: :spank: :hurts: :beer: :grr:

Any suggestions?


And just a question:
What is published of the PDB doesn't really suggest "a considerable sense of urgency" as far as I can see it. Is the PDB maybe not 1 1/2 pages but 11 as eg "Die Zeit" believes? Is it really made public in its entirety??

9. Kerrey's key statements:
"...by the way, there's a credible case that the president's own negligence prior to 9/11 at least in part contributed to the disaster in the first place."

"Well, the 9/11 report says in chapter eight -- now that it's beyond the campaign, so the promise I had to keep this out of the campaign is over."

--------------------

So who forced Kerrey to make this promise, and why?

Or hold the pretzels.
He truly never knew that hijackers were coming, in fact, I bet his entire team of PNAC evil-doers didn't know.

5. Anything new?
Did I miss something or did any of the commissioners speak out now and said something they weren't allowed by oath to say before the election?

Bob Kerry said:

What surprises me is:
I believe the election campagin is over and yet no one of the commissioners started talking. Talking that was forbidden due to the oath they had to take and they apparently found absolutely normal to take. I guess as normal to take an oath as an Indepedent Commissioner that have his final report censored by the White House.......


So, why does no one of the Commissioners speak? Bob Kerry himself is extremely vague in his comment.

15. I think they are scared. They know the first commissioner to come out
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 10:28 AM by spooked911
with what a sham the whole thing was will be blasted out of the water. They will be ostracized from elite society.

None of these guys has got guts, frankly.

But sooner or later, the truth will come out.

8. Dereliction of Duty?
Vacationing 43% of the time, shitcanning the Hart-Rudmin report, ignoring 52 instances of foreign intel warnings and the 8/11 PDB.

Even if you don't buy into LIHOP/MIHOP, this still warrants impeachment and removal from office.

What's the threshold for impeachment these days....30,000 lives? 300,000 lives? 3,000,000 lives? It used to be lying about consenual sex....when did the definition get changed?

13. Preach it.
And what Bush has done to America wasn't consentual until 2004, if even then.

10. The PDB was the tip of the warning iceburg that they were aware of
They were deluged with lots of detailed and in some case specific warnings that there was an imminent plan for attack in September and that there were plans to use airplanes as missiles and attack WTC and Pentagon.
http://www.flcv.com/warnings.html
and this is only some of the warnings

11. Isn't this reason to re-open the 9/11 investigations?

Kerrey states: "by the way, there's a credible case that the president's own negligence prior to 9/11 at least in part contributed to the disaster in the first place...."
