9-11 widows take apart Asscroft's testimony on Hardball

[skeptic9]

Kristen Breitweiser, Mindy Kleinberg, and another "Jersey Girl" got the lion's share of airtime tonight. Anybody else watch it?

[aquart]

1. No cable. Give line by line commentary.

[skeptic9]

12. I HOPE they're rehearsing tonight for future reprises of their...

... analysis on The Today Show, Good Morning America, and The Early Show--preferably tomorrow morning. They're making a lot more sense than the bought-and-paid-for pols on the 9-11 Commission.

2. I love these women!

[kiahzero]

3. Blaming this on the distinction between FBI and CIA is silly

There are reasons that the FBI and CIA don't talk directly. And they don't need to. When the NSA is doing his / her job, he / she would have known what both agencies knew.

6. These women are brilliant and courageous.

I'm sure their husband's would be very proud of them. It must be frustrating for them to always have to point out the obvious to the media.

9. IMO, just as Dubya and Rummy used 9-11 to get their "war" in Iraq,

... Asscroft wanted to hijack counterterrorism to get rid of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments to the Constitution.

4. Color coded Aug 6th PDB

orange "internal" U.S. threat
yellow "present tense"

:D

8. These gals are right on top of things! n/t

[Failure]

5. Superb

These women are in control of the facts. That's why they're so effective at conveying their message. They're pragmatic, well-spoken, and they have a thorough understanding of the events leading up to 911, and what has been said and done since. They're hard for the GOP attack dogs to defame.

11. Welcome to DU, Failure! Nothing succeeds like it.

:toast:

But I'd put NOTHING past those dogs. Also.

:evilgrin:

15. You know, a conservative is someone who hasn't had enough failure.

[feistydem]

7. I love the graphic one of them held up of the Aug 6 PDB

Laurie Van Auken had highlighted the "present tense" information and the "domestic" terror threat information in the report. There was virtually nothing else left except those few redacted words.

Breitweiser pointed out that there are so few redacted words it made her wonder why the report hadn' been released sooner --since obviously there wasn't much that couldn't be seen (unless you count those missing pages, of course).

[ezee]

10. and where are the other pages???? n/t

[feistydem]

14. stories are circulating that there are at least 10 missing pages

see http://www.dominantreality.com

scroll down a little for the story.

[skeptic9]

19. Lorie Van Auken, that's right! You'll notice I called her...

... "another Jersey Girl" in the lead-in. I'd seen her before, and Mathews called her by name, but I didn't know where to start in spelling it!

They have a great webpage at http://www.911independentcommission.org/members.html where I'm presuming all their names are spelled correctly.

[Postman]

13. These gals are democracy in action. I'm with you Gals!!

Keep the heat on fellow patriots.

[MikeG]

16. I find all three women very hot. And they kept Tweety in line.

[Reciprocity]

17. I'm in love with a Jersey girl.

Umm I wonder if that makes me a little bit gay? But seriously on Chris Matthews the widows of 9/11 who caused this investigation in the first placed kick ass. I am assuming that he will have transcripts up some time soon and I highly recommend those of you who did not see his program to read them.


Kristen Breitweiser for President.

[stellanoir]

18. Kristen

for a Nobel prize!

[Failure]

20. It's and honor and a pleasure

To participate with you all.

Thank you for your welcome.
