Been trying to get through to Randi Rhodes...
Edited on Thu Apr-15-04 02:32 PM by SimpleMan
Randi is talking about Tenet saying that he never saw Bush during the month of August 2001. The CIA later admitted that Tenet and Bush got together in Crawford on August 11.

Last night, I looked on the White House web site and found that Tenet also briefed Bush on August 24, 2001. The significance of that is that Tenet testified that he was briefed on Mussoui's arrest on AUGUST 23!!! He obviously had that information for Bush on the briefing on the 24th.

Bush was warned...specifically.

Anyhow, if anyone can get through to Randi, it might be something worth bringing up.

From the White House web site:

President Gives Tour of Crawford Ranch
Remarks by the President During Tour of the President's Ranch
Prarie Chapel Ranch
Crawford, Texas


Q    When you have those business meetings, like the Joint Chiefs briefing, do you like to keep it separate from the living quarters on the ranch?

     THE PRESIDENT:  Actually, you know, what we call the governor's house, the place where you all came out during the -- that's where we went.  Condi and Karen Hughes stayed there.  And right across the street from that is a -- it's a nice looking government doublewide.  (Laughter.)  And that's where the mil aide, the nurse, the WHCA head, the doc, they stay.

     The CIA briefings, I have on our porch, the end of our porch looking out over the lake.  When Tenet came up, that's where we visited, out there.

     You know, everybody wants to see the ranch, which I'm proud to show it off.  So George Tenet and I -- yesterday, we piled in the new nominees for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Vice Chairman and their wives and went right up the canyon.

3. Now see...
This is the kind of thing I normallly wouldn't even bother reading.
"President Gives Tour of Crawford Ranch "

But, put into the context of what we know now, and what SHOULD have been going on - this is just remarkable.

Everyone should read the whole damned thing. The idiot was studying freakin' trees and didn't have a care in the world.

Thanks for linking to this. Un-freakin-believable.

4. very interesting
I'm in contact with a couple of good reporters, so I just passed this on.

But I also want to get into contact with Randi Rhodes too. She has a link to my timeline directly on her Randi Rhodes Show main page, so I think she'd be amenable to having me as a guest. But I sent an email and got no response. Any other ideas?

5. She generally doesn't do guests, per se.
She doesn't seem to like doing interviews. The best way to get through to her is get on the phone and speed-dial like everybody else. ;)

6. I finally got through, but...
...I've been on hold for 4 commercials at least.

Hope someone else on hold mentions this if they don't get to me.

23. Thank you...
...if everyone in America knew that Tenet was briefed on the 23rd, and he saw Bush on the 24th, and the FISA warrent was still refused, they might just wake up.
