Revealed: Ashcroft, Tenet, Rumsfeld warned 9/11 Commission about ‘line’ it ’should not cross’
Senior Bush administration officials sternly cautioned the 9/11 Commission against probing too deeply into the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, according to a document recently obtained by the ACLU.
The notification came in a letter dated January 6, 2004, addressed by Attorney General John Ashcroft, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and CIA Director George J. Tenet. The ACLU described it as a fax sent by David Addington, then-counsel to former vice president Dick Cheney.
In the message, the officials denied the bipartisan commission's request to question terrorist detainees, informing its two senior-most members that doing so would "cross" a "line" and obstruct the administration's ability to protect the nation.
We all know exactly what is meant here.
ReplyDeletePowerful parts of the Saudi and Pakistani establishment have been in Cahoots with Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda linked networks since 1988.
Powerful parts of the Saudi and Pakistani establishment helped Osama Bin Laden mass murder the Shiites in Gilgit Kashmir in 1988.
And then there is this part; some not so smart people in the CIA think KSA and Pakistan are America's friends.
When will we Americans learn to stand up for ourselves.
I know V is a fellow American. But he doesn't stand up for America. Neither does Flemming. Although Flemming is a lot more disagreeable and offensive than V.
But neither V nor Flemming did anything as stupid as the racist Jemmy; when Jemmy made stupid statements on Haqqani.
