Edited on Mon Oct-02-06 02:44 PM by brettdale
Wouldn't the August 6th memo be considered a warning?

1. Nope
Nope. Everybody knows the August 6 PDB was for historical purposes only.

But if they gave her flight numbers and seat assignments, she would have done something.

2. No she said it was a "Historical Document," even
though it talked about events that were supposed to happen in
the future.

She said that in front of the 9/11 commission and was bitchy
about it too.

3. She also said that the Aug 6th memo ...
... was delivered to Bush because he'd specifically asked for an update on information. She said that in defence of allegations that Bush was totally uninterested in current happenings.

She later said it wasn't considered 'actionable', because it was just 'historical information'.

No one ever asked the obvious question: "If the president had asked for updated information, why was he instead given a document you are now qualifying as 'historical'?"

but people like you keep forgetting the Subtitle "but not anymore"

5. CIA Delivery Boy?
Didn't Bush tell the CIA Delivery Boy, who hand carried the August 6 PDB, something like; "You can go now. You've covered your ass."

IS this correct or subconscious revisionism?
