2. It will never, ever, ever happen.
Not now. Not after Condi basically described it as 'not a warning' and no big deal. That was under oath. The memo will never be released.

32. WTF Does "Historical Document" Supposed To Mean??
And how can it be "no big deal" and "too sensitive" for the rest of us to see at the same time?

God what a BULLSHITTER Dr. Rice is!!

9. I agreed that the chances are remote...
...but that shouldn't stop Americans from insisting. The commissioners are implying there's a 'smoking gun' in there and it should be released so that we're made aware of WHAT BUSH* KNEW AND WHEN HE KNEW IT.

- The bottom line is that the briefing was a hell of a lot more specific than the Bushies want to admit.

Could that be used in perjury proceedings? :shrug:

not against Kerrey - who would be whom the WH would want to go after. He wasn't under oath when he was speaking.

41. oh....she's f*cked
but, then again, the GOPher Congress won't lift a finger to do anything about it, so the matter is moot. Had this been the Clinton administration, there would be calls for public trials, not hearings, of everyone in the WH - surprising how mute any criticism has been now.....

They're going to have to. It's too big. Even the commission is calling for it.

Besides, they already said there's nothing in it....it's only "historical"....

25. All the more reason to demand declassifiction
If it's historical and 'no bid deal', then declassifying it won't be a big deal, and certainly won't jeopordize national security. I think Condi painted herself into a corner on that one.

5. Condi could hardly say the title
Edited on Thu Apr-08-04 10:46 AM by DoYouEverWonder
she sputtered and splurted every time some asks her about this memo. It must be pretty bad, because they really get freaked out by it.

12. Compare these sentances:
"I don't remember the al Qaeda cells as being something that we were told we needed to do something about."

vs.

"I believe the title was, 'Bin Laden determined to attack inside the United States'."

Somebody else has to tell you you need to do something about someone determined to attack the US? Anybody know what Condi's job description is?

15. tell them to stop protecting us from 'the truth' - they work for us
Edited on Thu Apr-08-04 11:00 AM by cosmicdot
I want it all released - JFK papers, Raygun-Poppy-BushJR-Cheney Energy Task Force-Clinton papers -- all of it ...

I'm tired of the cover-up and protecting characters past and present, many of whom are still polluting the game, and suppressing America's progress and potential - they're stunting our growth!

26. NEVER
The commission members may see it but we will NEVER see it without MAJOR redaction.

NEVER.

What we MAY see is what the commission saw which was a VERRY brief snippet.

We can still put the pressure on though.

22. not a warning?
give me a break!

They make it seem like the memo, because it didn't say the date, time and place of an attack, was not a warning of pending terrorism! I know that the GOPher's idea of missile defense involves an enemy telling us EXACTLY when and where a missile will be shot from (and we will still only have about a 5% chance of hitting it) but where they really expecting to intercept a message listing the hijackers' names, the flights they had reservations on, etc.???? Isn't the job of the intelligence services to INTERPRET INTELLIGENCE? Any trained monkey could run the government if we are to expect enemies to be so courteous....oh wait.....

27. Rice kept referring to the document...
...as a 'historical' briefing and had nothing in it that suggested an attack. But you could tell how nervous she was when she was reluctant to even READ THE TITLE:

BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO ATTACK IN THE UNITED STATES

- We know that the briefing also included information about using hijacked airplanes as part of that determination to hit America.

- BIN LADEN and HIJACKED PLANES should have been enough of a warning for direct action.

I didn't catch the exact wording, but it was something very damning, like Bin Laden Planning Terrorist Attacks Inside the US?
