[robbedvoter]

reading statement so far

[robbedvoter]

1. Fielding fawning all over him now

unless he'll want to scapegoat him?

[readmylips]

2. Get on with the Questions..jerk..

now the question.

[robbedvoter]

3. Fielding frames it as "intelligence failure" and wants to

determine if FBI was up to it?
I thought W was satisfied with his intelligence?

[readmylips]

4. Here's the Clinton bad FBI, bush good FBI org.

Freed didn't direct FBI from headquarters but from the fields. That was a stupid question. bush directing the nation from his pig farm.

[still_one]

5. Why doesn't anyone talk about John O'Neal?

[robbedvoter]

6. ben veniste just did - at length. A John O'neal question

[robbedvoter]

7. Subject of planes as weapons - did it come during the olympics?

yes." "So it was well known in the intelligence committee" "yes'
Did it come again in the G8 planing?" Not FBI involved.

[readmylips]

8. Ben-V: It was known airplanes to be used....

Freeh, Yes, goes back the Olympics. BenV: No fly zone during G8 summit. Freeh: G8 planning done by CIA.

BenV is the best. Gets down to the questions.

[robbedvoter]

9. Was the plane as missile integrated in any defense system

considering the info? Failure of Clinton? Bush? "neither - not known well enough"

[robbedvoter]

10. Refuting Condi: FBI/CIA worked together on the Millenium?

Freeh confirms.

[readmylips]

11. Jamie: What a Professional and Classy human being.

She recused herself because she had worked for the Dept of Justice.

[robbedvoter]

12. Kean asks him how he did communicate with POTUS

Freeh does not mention his handing in his White House pass.

13. Battle of the chin warts...

must be hard to shave around those buggers...

[RapidCreek]

29. Yea no kidding, eh?...where the hell have these guys been putting their

faces to gather all those nifty growths......must be the same place Rush Limbaugh's ass has been.

Yea I know...just terrible and infantile of me to say such things....then again the Kangaroo Commission is nothing more than a magnanimous back slappers excuse making dog and pony show....so what's the harm.

The day these wieners start behaving in a way which might warrant respect, I'll be the first to give it to them.

14. between march-may - the trial of the embassies bombers

I didn't know they were caught, brought to justice. Damn that Clinton - he can do nothing right, non?

[readmylips]

15. Thompson the jerk....

wants to contradict one of BenV's question. Olympics form or stategy.

[robbedvoter]

16. Thompson trying to make W's point: need time and place

so, why bother?

[robbedvoter]

17. Ben Veniste clarification on Norad - missed it

Am I the only one watching this?
lehman wasting time.

[Eurobabe]

18. what was the laughter in the background about?

[dmr]

20. No, you're not alone

I'm glued to it too.
:)

[readmylips]

19. Freeh gave credit to Clinton....

for fighting a bill to implement better procedures. The bill was stripped and at a standstill in Congress. The repig congress.

[robbedvoter]

21. lehman trying hard to prove the Saddam/OBL connection

One of the 1993 escapees went to bagdad - did you porsue him as Al Quaeda? uh, there wasn't an AlQuaeda in 1993 - but poppy neglected all proof of it sitting untranslated in the FBI boxes...
Trying to make Oklahoma bombings Al Quaeda - anything to blame Clinton. I remember a time when people wanted to investigate this further but Asscrack wanted the executions to go fast....

[robbedvoter]

22. Lee Hamilton now - showing Clinton raised budget

Or dem congress as it were

[robbedvoter]

23. Hamilton wastes time on a useless question: will crime

prevention be shortchanged now? gee, how tough he is!

[robbedvoter]

24. Roemer - Clark vs Rice off the bat - they agreed that FBI could

have done better: Phoenix memo, sharing info - 2 of the 19 hijackers had active contacts with FBI informers - why wasn't this passed on?

[robbedvoter]

25. Roemer - from the Williams memo (Phoenix)- 2 requests not done

develop a list and share info. Why not done? Freeh: "I dunno"

[robbedvoter]

26. Gorton - back to the staff report - Clarke's positions

FBI not providing info to the NSC - White House
Freeh: "I dunno about NSC, I had meetings with reno, Biurger. Clarke wasn't there - why berger didn't want him there I dunno - but I shared every 2 weeks'

he said that what's in the staff report will be part of the commission final report unless contradicted by testimony.

[gulfcoastliberal]

28. Had to get that Dig in on Clarke

Damn repuke shill. I immediately picked up on "...why he (Berger) didn't WANT him there..." Jerk.

[robbedvoter]

27. Gorton - compare relationships with WH - Clinton/Bush

"Both open"
