Scathing letter to Condi--WOW! A must read.
(Dear Ms. Rice:

I am writing to communicate four points regarding your testimony yesterday under
oath before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.

Point #1: You are a liar.

Attorney General Ashcroft sits on the National Security Council. Warned by his FBI
security detail, the head of law enforcement for the United States knew to avoid
commercial airlines on September 11, 2001.

It was your job as National Security Advisor to make sure that the people who flew
on American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, United Airlines Flight 93
and American Airlines Flight 77 had the benefit of the same warnings as those they
paid to protect us.

You knew. You kept silent. They died.

You had numerous warnings of the risks of 9-11 – sufficient to let the American
people know and use their best judgment as to how to protect themselves from a
possible attack. It was your job as National Security Advisor to make sure that the
people in the South Tower of the World Trade Center had the knowledge they
needed to evacuate their building upon seeing the North Tower hit by a plane.

You knew. You kept silent. They died.
The rest of the letter is here:http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/040904_fitts_letter.html

1. Didn't you get the memo?
This is just another disgruntled Rethug with an axe to grind, just like Clarke, O'Neill, Phillips, DiLulio et al.

Move along folks there is nothing to see here.

3. so many things wrong with this post
my head is spinning :silly:

I agree that the 911 commission is little more than a show trial. But your "blame Clinton" attitude is slioghtly misplaced since Bush both helped bin ladin family members safelyleave the US azfter 911, not to mention Bush was on the job for 8 months and still did nothing to protect the US.

oh and Condi did lie, haven't you been paying attention?

"Democratic hacks grandstanding" HAHAHA didn't you see BushCo's "news" conference?

that is all.

5. Get a clue and get lost...
...better yet, try informing yourself rather than spouting RW talking points.

8. now that we're talking conflict of interest - how about
1. why bush appointed the commission and set the boundaries
2. why the repub dominated supreme court is able to select the president
3. why the vp is still getting checks from a company that is profiting handsomely from the war in iraq
4. why frist can stand up in the senate and lie about Clarke's comments and not be censured

the list is very large. i have to get back to work now.

11. You need to get the facts about the Gorelick memo which Ashcroft also
signed onto. Find out what it was and find out how Ascroft signed an order to keep it in place.

13. Just for the heck of it...
Since it was Jamie Gorelick's rules that was the hindrance to the CIA and FBI communicating.

It wasn't a matter of communication - Ashcroft knew to avoid commercial airline flights, why didn't he pass that info on to the general public?

So why is she allowed to sit on the commission and judge, because this is nothing but a show trial.

Better ask the Bush admin that, seeing as they chose the commission members.

Its only purpose is to put the blame on some one other then the Terrorists who are actually to blame for 9/11.

You're right! Currently they are trying to blame anybody BUT the Bush admin - the terrorists who are actually to blame for 9/11.

There is no search for the truth it all Democratic hacks grandstanding for the willing media who only report what will help Kerry get elected.

Is this a "liberal media" rant? Don't make me laugh!

But if you want to put the blame at any ones feet I believe it should be at the feet of the Clinton administration he was offered Bin Ladin several times from the Sudanese.

For the sake of argument, let's say that was true. Exactly what would have changed had Clinton managed to put Bin Laden in prison? The Bush cabal would simply have found someone else to be the patsy for the 9/11 attack!

15. Great Letter!
Good job on the guest as well. It is fun to check the profiles of the freeps and see that tombstone. :D
What a maroon!
The commission is more or less a farce though. No tough questions are asked and I'm sure the findings will be that mistakes were made, but they all cancel themselves out, so no heads will drop.
