Lawmakers Ask CIA to Turn Over Internal 9/11 Report

The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket

Read this. Talk about this. Link to this. Demand this gets released before Nov. 2nd.

My guess is that this will sneak out before Nov. 2nd given the bad relationship between the White House and the CIA.

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.

The official stressed that the report was more blunt and more specific than the earlier bipartisan reports produced by the Bush-appointed Sept. 11 commission and Congress.

"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."

(insert richeous indignation here.)

seriously, I'm so pissed off at these guys that I'm almost tired of being pissed off.

it's all one thing: What if George W. Bush had been elected president?

Bin Laden is in China

Osama, of course, is the October surprise that Rove has been hinting at. We are selling Taiwan and MFN status to China in exchange for Osama. We also are likely giving up some leverage with respect to China's client state North Korea. Two weeks till the deal goes through.

Those GOP voter registration scam artists (America Votes, Sproul & Associates, etc.) were doing the same thing (only registering Republicans) in PA too. Their malfeasance may have been nationwide.

Very, very weird. Granted, this is coming from someone who can read lips, but...

apparently Bush wanted to meek with Kerry after the debate for a bit. and some speculation that Bush's health is seriously failing....note for example that his face was drooping on one side last night and there was some drool/froth on the right side of his mouth (his right, our left).

So it looks like a Republican funded voter registration group has been literally shredding registration forms of people who registered as democrats in Nevada.

literally shredding. hundreds to thousands.

shredding.
