2. The briefing alone "should" enough to nail these bastards for dereliction

4. CYA?
... an unnamed CIA briefer who flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaida attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US."

Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."

5. This comment is a revelation! It may well speak to foreknowledge...
... "All right. You've covered your ass now." So piss off and let me now work on how I'm going to cover mine!
