The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket
October 19, 2004

COMMENTARY

It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

"It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed," an intelligence official who has read the report told me, adding that "the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward."

When I asked about the report, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she and committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) sent a letter 14 days ago asking for it to be delivered. "We believe that the CIA has been told not to distribute the report," she said. "We are very concerned."

I suggest everyone does the same.

I can tell you how to easily register if you'd like.

[expatriate]

28. don't give them your real info

if that is a problem for you. When I have to register, it's as Griselda Punkinstein, at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Wienerville, Usbekistan - or something similar, considering on how evil I feel.

Or use bugmenot.com.

14. Here's some snips cut to 4 paragraphs

<snip> It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

<snip>According to the intelligence official, who spoke to me on condition of anonymity, release of the report, which represents an exhaustive 17-month investigation by an 11-member team within the agency, has been "stalled." First by acting CIA Director John McLaughlin and now by Porter J. Goss, the former Republican House member (and chairman of the Intelligence Committee) who recently was appointed CIA chief by President Bush.

<snip>"What all the other reports on 9/11 did not do is point the finger at individuals, and give the how and what of their responsibility. This report does that," said the intelligence official. "The report found very senior-level officials responsible."

Boys and girls, looks a lot like a smoking gun and one that men in high places are working to hide. Let us hope some honorable partiots in the agancy, and there are some, have this move in their chess game with the checkers players in the WH.

17. John Kerry needs to call Bush out on this!

Everywhere Kerry goes to speak!

5. This story has been all over the web today. It's been all over this place

today. It is a big story. But like the Cheney Energy meeting papers, the bush* administration will stall and screw us (the American people) around forever.

This has to be the potential to be our October surprise, but someone just has to find a way to get ahold of it. A patriotic leaker?

I bet Tenet's name is all over the thing.

[Warpy]

15. Well, now we know why they rushed Porter Goss into there

He's a rabid neocon and a reliable yesman. Perhaps they were afraid Tenet was sick of falling on his sword for their incompetence and forced him out just in time.

[acmavm]

21. Oh yeah.

6. Be more direct on your title

It may be something to be
really angry about
or somebody lost their girl friend
with that type of heading in general discuss thread.
what's the story heading?
We're listening, really.

It might help if you put an excerpt up.

12. Hey, maybe we should write letters to members of the congressional....

intelligence committees demanding that they get a hold of this so that we can have a better idea of who to vote for prior to the election, in relation to security?

[progressivebydesign]

20. This paragraph ALONE should cost Bush his job!!!

<<And then Bush refused to testify to the commission under oath, or on the record. Instead he deigned only to chat with the commission members, with Vice President Dick Cheney present, in a White House meeting in which commission members were not allowed to take notes. All in all, strange behavior for a man who seeks reelection to the top office in the land based on his handling of the so-called war on terror.>>

Do any of the kind, but totally fucking confused, people that are voting for Bush because they think he can keep us safe, REMEMBER this?? HE REFUSED TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH!! He REFUSED TO TESTIFY ALONE! AND.. NO ONE WAS ALLOWED TO TAKE NOTES, NOR was anything ON THE RECORD.

What does he have to hide?? We won't KNOW until AFTER the election, thanks to the Bush family HOLD on the CIA!!! :grr:

How in the FUCK anyone who lost a loved one on 9/11 could support that cowardly failure, is beyond me!

[RobertSeattle]

22. I wish Kerry would use the "Oath" thing too..

"In my administration, when I or any member of my cabinet are questioned by congress or high ranking commisions, we won't hesitate to TAKE AN OATH"

[Tsiyu]

23. So true, Caliphoto

What is wrong with people? How can they not see through *'s duplicity and deceit? How can they actually believe anyone in his administration truly cares about this nation?

Idiots: anyone who supports * after all the pain he has caused the people.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

27. Gee...I seem to recall that the CIA initiated the Plame case, and...

...they've been responsible for tons of leaks since that time.

Look at it this way...who leaked this portion of the report to the media, particularly at this point in time?

Still think the CIA folks are the bad guys?

[Lorien]

24. Kick

:kick:

[StupidFOX]

25. Thanks, Big Brother!

"By law, the only legitimate reason the CIA director has for holding back such a report is national security. Yet neither Goss nor McLaughlin has invoked national security as an explanation for not delivering the report to Congress."

Protect us from important information, for our own security!
