anyone watching tweety, memo just released...

[AussieInCA]

Aschroft tells FBI I don't want to hear about these threats anymore.

[Earth_First]

1. Wanna hear MY list of threats I don't want to hear, Mr. Aschcroft?

I didn't think so...DEAL WITH IT!

[powergirl]

4. I'M AT WORK AND CAN'T WATCH TV YET

Did Ashcroft actually put that in writing? Please o please tell me that I did. What a dufus!

[AussieInCA]

6. ashcroft's answer: have no recollection of that comment

[aquart]

7. That is not being a doofus. That is dereliction of duty.

[shockingelk]

13. Memo?

What memo? I heard the thing about Ashcroft saying he didn't want to see reports, but what "memo" was spoken of?

[Skip Intro]

2. Ack - no cable - please elaborate

thanx :D

[AussieInCA]

3. slamming rice now, that wasn't my job description ..

domestic terrorism...instead she was too busy playing global chess.

[feistydem]

8. Yeah, except earlier Louis Freeh said the next in the line of his

command & reporting was the AG.

Did that change when Freeh and Reno were out and Muller and Ashcroft were in?

Pass the Buck. That's all these people in the B.A. do!

5. phoenix memo outlines agents recommendation

to investigate visa status of the folks enrolled in the flight school


summed up: left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.

9. the teflon pResident

so we're going to see more and more of smirk's lakeys running around, back-stabbing each other, and muddying the water in general....all the while chimp-boy remains untouched by the errors because no one ever got the information to him.....wonderful!

[Sagan]

11. that's easy to spin...

The thing to hit on would be the fact that Chimpy can't won't or didn't have the ability or will to control his Administration.

[LittleApple81]

12. We need to put the word out: HE IS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

The buck has to stop with him. There is no choice. His "leadership" style has led to all this mess.

[fryguy]

16. "leadership" style

Top Ten Idiots says it best:

"See, Bush likes to delegate. That means he sits on his ass - mostly in Crawford, or Kennebunkport, or at Camp David - while his team of happy bureaucrats get busy at their jobs."

20. Comes down to the Chimp's DECISION - he requested details be withheld

and demanded short memos with overviews. Remember, Clarke said they were told first thing the president is not a reader and wanted all his memos on one page.

We have a lazy, incomprehensive oaf in office.

[nickinSTL]

10. Doesn't want to hear?

So, the head of the Department of Justice, of which the FBI is a part, isn't responsible for domestic terrorism?

[powergirl]

14. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THE FREEPERS WOULD DO

if Reno was AG when 911 happened? They would demand that she be jailed. Ashcroft is completely incompetent and has no business being our nation's AG. He lost a senatorial election to a dead man ( the great Mel Carnahan - God rest his soul) for Heaven's sake!

[Carni]

15. Yeah, I heard it

I can't believe Fineman has grown a brain over the last couple of weeks--I didn't catch the whole significance of the memo but it doesn't sound good for the bush reich.

[0007]

17. Responsibility covers statues tits and takes pornography

more serious than life.

Duh!

[soothsayer]

18. He probably kept the FBI busy policing the area for calico cats

Don't forget, he fears those demon cats!!!


What a freak.

[Redleg]

19. Ashcroft will be Bush's fall guy.

I'm sure the christian fundamentalist in Ashcroft will relish playing the sacrificial lamb for his god-chosen boss.

[Brotherjohn]

21. I'll ask again... was it an actual MEMO? In writing?

That's MUCH more damaging than someone's word.

It would be the first hard evidence that the a high level administration official consciously and specifically dismissed these threats, even after hearing about them.
