They will have copies of it TODAY. I can't wait to read it and watch to see how the media spins the info.

Anyway, I thought you would like to know it's available in book stores. :)

1. But pay cash, or Ashcroft can get your name without a warrant.

6. Well, I'm off to Borders at lunch
I have my doubts, though, about the report making a bookstore in Pittsburgh by lunchtime.

19. Hah! You were right!
I don't believe it. While I was driving up to Borders, I was listening to Lynn Cullen say that the report was due to be released in 10 minutes. And just inside Borders they had a mountain of them. Only $10.

5. The report is supposed to be available on c-span.
I'm not positive if it will be today, or not until tomorrow, but they did say you could read it from their site. It's free there! That's what I'm going to do. I doubt I would want to read all 500+ pages, so I don't need the hard copy sitting in my bookcase.

9. The GOP doesn't seem as quick to put it on the Internet...
as it did the findings of the Starr investigation into the affairs of Pres. Bill Clinton.

As I recall, that report literally appeared online overnight.

MEDIA ADVISORY
9-11 Commission to Release Final Report
in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, July 22

July 19, 2004—The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission) will release its final report at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 22, in Washington, D.C.

Thomas H. Kean, Chair of the Commission, and Lee H. Hamilton, Vice Chair, will present the report at a live, televised event at 11:30 a.m. on July 22.

Opening remarks by the Chairs will be followed by a press conference with all ten Commissioners. The report will be available online on the Commission’s Web site when the presentation begins. The report will also be available for purchase in bookstores nationwide and from the Government Printing Office on Thursday.

“For the past 20 months, the Commission has worked to fulfill its mandate, preparing for the Congress, the President, and the American people an authoritative account of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and recommendations to help avert future attacks,” said Kean. “We are honored to present our findings and recommendations to the American people this week.”

“The terrorist threat to the United States has not disappeared since September 11,” said Hamilton. “Future attacks are expected. We hope that the President and the Congress study our recommendations with care and act on them quickly.”

Working press wishing to attend this event must register on the Commission’s Web site, www.9-11commission.gov.

Only those members of the media whose attendance has been confirmed in writing by the Commission will be granted entry. Information about access to the event and further press guidelines also may be found on the Commission’s Web site.

All media requests to interview Commissioners should be directed to Craig Brownstein at (202) 326-1799 or by email at [email protected].

Before July 22, press inquiries, not including interview requests, should be directed to Al Felzenberg, Deputy for Communications, at (202) 401-1725 or (202) 236-4878, or by email at [email protected].

On July 22 and 23, all press inquiries should be directed to (202) 326-1711.

14. Why bother?
It won't address the real causes of terrorism. The Commission "solution" is to strengthen and consolidate the domestic and foreign intelligence agencies. This only brings us one step closer to being a Fascist Police State.

16. At the very least, don't let the media interpret it for you.
Read it yourself and draw your own conclusions.

18. I'm listening to the live news conference as we speak...
They are advocating strengthening and consolidating the intelligence agencies.

The dutiful mainstream media will march lockstep in agreement with the conclusions and findings of the report. Predictively, the media will not inform the public of the dangers of having consolidating the power of the intelligence agencies.
