Lawmakers Prod CIA for Pre-9/11 Accountability Report

The agency says the document isn't finished, but some think they're stalling to benefit Bush.

WASHINGTON - The ranking members of the House Intelligence Committee have asked the CIA to turn over an internal report on whether agency employees should be held accountable for intelligence failures leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks, congressional officials said Tuesday.

The CIA has not responded to the request, raising concerns among some Democrats in Congress that the report is being withheld to avoid embarrassment for the Bush administration in the final weeks before the presidential election.

The report was drafted in response to a demand from Congress nearly two years ago for the CIA to conduct an internal inquiry into the performance of agency personnel before the attacks. The agency was asked "to determine whether and to what extent personnel at all levels should be held accountable" for intelligence breakdowns cataloged in a joint congressional investigation of Sept. 11.

No agency employee has been fired or faced other disciplinary measures in connection with Sept. 11 inquiries, a fact that has frustrated critics of the CIA and relatives of those who were killed in the attacks.

A U.S. intelligence official said Tuesday that the document had not been provided to Congress because it was not complete. "The report is just a draft," the official said. "It's not yet finished, and the matter is still under review." The official declined to elaborate.

But congressional officials voiced skepticism and said that mounting frustration with the agency had prompted the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), and the ranking Democrat, Rep. Jane Harman of Venice, to send a letter to the CIA two weeks ago directing the agency to deliver the report.

The existence of the letter was first reported Tuesday in the Los Angeles Times in an opinion column by Robert Scheer. The column quoted Harman as saying, "We believe that the CIA has been told not to distribute the report. We are very concerned."

1. That's a sensible question, Aries.

3. Maybe the "mandate" makes it irrelevant...

Hi Bob--

We wouldn't want to break the flawed mirror the media is providing for us to gaze into...would we? :shrug:

4. Dream on...

But in the world of newthink and newspeak, it will read something like this:

"The CIA has found that Saddam did commit 9/11, had WMD's, was actively seeking nukes and was eating babies. It's our conclusion that mr. * is a brilliant leader and is far wiser than we all had suspected. Continuing; when ever the prez in your presence, you must kneel, kiss his foot, and never look him in the eye. Further; he is always right and is never to be questioned and you are never to speak unless you are spoken to.
All hail our new supreme overlord! Sig hiel!
P.S. Make sure you click your heels on that last part.
Have a nice day...or else!
The Director of informat...propagan...CIA."
