ACCESS LIMITATIONS ENCOUNTERED BY THE JOINT INQUIRY

[snooper2]

It's always what they don't want you to know..
http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/911rpt/911report72403.pdf
Starts on Page 831/832 (see the page number while holding the scroll bar (PDF))

Some interesting parts:
Access Denied:
The President's Daily Brief (PDB)
snip:
"Despite the White House decision, the Joint Inquiry was advised by Intelligence Community representatives of the content of an August 2001 PDB item that is discussed in the report. This glimpse into that PDB indicated the importance of such access (blanked-out)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.* (notice the asterisk)(At the bottom it says)
* National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice stated in a May 16, 2002 press briefing that, on August 6, 2001, the President's Daily Brief included information about Bin Ladin's methods of operation from a historical prespective dating back to 1997. One of the methods was that Bin Ladin might choose to highjack an airliner in order to hold passengers hostage to gain release of one of their operatives. She stated, however, that the report did not contain specific warning information, but only a generalized warning, and did not contain information that al-Qa'ida was discussing a particular planned attack against a specific target at any specific time, place, or by any specific method.

(Earlier in this 9/11 report they talk about Condasleeza but show the facts that from 1998 it was suspected terrorists might crash planes into buildings packed with explosives and shows the FBI memos stating such. I wonder what was deleted immediately prior to the asterisk here though? hmmmm....)

additionally, access denied to:
Foreign Liaison Relationships
Budget Information
Covert Action Programs
NSC-Level Information
Interview of DCI
Interview of FBI Informant
NSA Technical and Contractual Information
CIA and NSA documents
Military Options (Carpet of Bombs or Carpet of Gold? :shrug: )

limted access:
Foreign Government Information at the FBI
Interview Policies

1. So that would be a blatant lie from Condi

National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice stated in a May 16, 2002 press briefing that, on August 6, 2001, the President's Daily Brief included information about Bin Ladin's methods of operation from a historical prespective dating back to 1997. One of the methods was that Bin Ladin might choose to highjack an airliner in order to hold passengers hostage to gain release of one of their operatives. She stated, however, that the report did not contain specific warning information, but only a generalized warning, and did not contain information that al-Qa'ida was discussing a particular planned attack against a specific target at any specific time, place, or by any specific method.



On May 16th, 2002, Rice said “I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon. that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile,".

2. There's another piece..

The White House will all resign before they let go of any PDB(Presidential Daily Briefs)

They tried mulitple times but the Chimministration refused every time.

check this out (page 856)
Here's a snip from a letter sent by the Inquiry to John Bellinger, Senior Associate Counsel to the President & Natianal Security Council Legal Advisor.
"In addition, the JIS would like to know the (underlined) specific genesis of the August 2001 (end underlining) PDB item relating to Usama Bin Ladin (UBL) and terrorism threats to the United States. As I have told you, we have received very different versions of how this item came to be published. This is especially significant in light of the timing and content of that particular item in reference to the September 11 attacks adn the substantial public interest in how well the Intelligence Community was serving the President at the time."
snip
"Finally, as I have told you, I believe there is a significant case to be made that the JIS should be provided with special access in some form to the (underlined) complete record of the numbers and contents of any PDB items regarding UBL, al-Qa'ida, and the terrorism threat to U.S. interests)

(The commmision never got a thing of course...)

3. This report REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!!!

What a friggin' cover-your-ass limp piece of nothing!! They keep talking in circular ways that only leaves the reader with the full understanding that, at every turn, the bush administration STOPPED the investigation! They stopped the CIA and FBI, they stopped everything.

Bush knew, and hijackers flew.


:kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick:

4. Yep..

Funny how the last page of the report, 858, is the end of a letter asking from the JIS asking for access.


sheesh...whitewash by the chimphouse...
