Did Bush and his minions begin writing the Patriot Act before 9/11 too?
Edited on Sun Jan-11-04 07:59 PM by NNN0LHI
We now know they began cutting up the oil fields and planning the invasion of Iraq in January 2001. Guess we also now know for sure what the Cheney energy meetings were about now and why these criminals are so hesitant about releasing the documents from those meetings. The Patriot Act that was presented soon after 9/11 was not drafted overnight. It took months to write it. Who wrote it and when did they begin writing it? That is the important question now.

1. I'm not sure
but, I wouldn't put it past these bastards to have done such a thing.

And if they did, then MIHOP is real.

2. Excellent question!
The plans were all ready and waiting to go. Just waiting for the proper catastrophe to happen.

3. I believe so.
In fact, it may have begun during the Clinton administration, like the PNAC did. We'll have to research it.

4. And where does that criminal Chalabi fit in?
Chalabi had to be present in those meetings. Chalabi is a close friend of Rumbutt.

6. If I remember correctly it was pre-written along with the war plans for
Afghanistan. All of this has been in the works for decades.
