#1 No mention that Sibel is also suing the FBI?

#2 Should Ms. Edmonds' statements be borne out by the evidence, I would like to see impeachment hearings instituted and perjury trials begun for much of the current administration's top security officials. Clarke has already made a convincing case for the low priority that terrorism received. If such dire warnings went entirely unheeded, then the White House has the blood of American citizens on its hands.

#3 Nice try, lefty. Next time, pick something that doesn't have two strikes against it the second it's posted:

(1) being originally posted on CommonWetDreams, and
(2) having the UK Independent as a source. As an objective source of information, it's only about a quarter-step above the Daily Worker.

I won't even dwell on Ms. Edmonds' ability to divine what was in the minds of senior FBI officials pre-9/11, when she didn't start there until 9/13.

#4 Everyone knew that some terrorist act in the air was brewing during the summer of 2001. I specifically remember counseling guys to be careful before they traveled over to Asia, Japan in particular. Upon arrival at work 9/11/01 I learned of the attack and remember thinking, "So, that's what it was." This much was public knowledge and in our newspapers, but the specific attack was still a surprise. Where was I working? In the Government, perhaps? No -- a start up in Silicon Valley.

#5 RC, don't you mean SYBIL??!
One look at this woman's puss and you know she is Trouble with a capital "T."
Zenster, keep dreamin' and living in your meditative state.

#6 Clarke has already made a convincing case for the low priority that terrorism received.

His "case" is only convincing to those who have drunk the Democrat kool-aid. Anyone with half a brain realizes it was Clarke that dropped the ball for eight years. His "case" is a tissue of lies put together by a bitter, sick little man who wants to get revenge on the people who "dissed" him.

#7 Yeah, Ill bet it was "general" -- and "sufficient" is another wonderful non-specific word. It takes an utterly intellectually dishonest moron to believe that hindsight and foresight are the same thing. Those who can barely manage the former expect 20/20 at all times of everyone else in the latter.

Zenster, I love your disingenuous intro, where you pretend that you are undecided and awaiting developments. Puhleeze kiss my hairy ass. You are definitely one of the the aforementioned morons - and a tool / sucker (you choose) of posturing, preening, lying political assholes who can't balance a checkbook or program the fucking coffeemaker, yet they expect perfection from others. Especially when it serves their true ends - which are purely political.

Collections of these cretins call themselves "commissions" - how official and proper. Right. They sit in judgement of real people doing real work and manage NEVER to have a deliverable on THEIR plate, no no, heaven forbid. Fucktards and cowards.

The most purely obscene thing in human existence is criticism from a fucking voyeur.

People like you and this FBI translator are a dime a dozen. Gutless and transparently opportunistic. Pray that she's the bombshell your ilk is dreaming of -- Clarke's transparency is already apparent and Rice will finish him off, exposing him and your commission of pol whores. If only they cared one whit for the security of America but, alas, it' is obvious that they do not. Nor do you. Nor do you fool anyone.

Fuck off, asshole.

#8 Sheesh! 4 posts come in while I'm pounding the shit out of my keyboard! Sigh.

Anyway, fuck Zenster and his lot of cretins.

#9 Hey, just because Shrub is a fundamentalist wingnut who may be conflating Middle East policy with eschatology or some old family feud doesn't mean I'm against China getting its ass kicked for trade domination. For that matter, instead of Iraq, it's Iran that more desperately needs their government toppled or nuclear facilities demolished, whichever comes first. Even North Korea was a lot higher than Iraq on the list of priorities.

I just have lots of trouble with a putative leader attempting to legislate discrimination into our constitution. Constantly portraying pluralistic America as a Christian nation by intentionally blurring the separation of church and state has only served to invite further terrorist attacks upon our soil.

Prematurely rotating the troops most qualified to apprehend bin Laden and Mullah Omar out of Afghanistan so he could settle his daddy's stale hash with a tin pot despot like Saddam is just another button the coat. Even without Edmonds' testimony, there's already been enough lies told about Iraq to make Baron von Munchausen look like Honest Abe.

NOTE: Those of you who so readily descend into personalities automatically preclude yourselves from consideration as intelligent participants in any discussion.

#10 "Those of you who so readily descend into personalities automatically preclude yourselves from consideration as intelligent participants in any discussion."
I'm not the one calling our President a "fundamentalist wingnut."
BTW, I am a fundamentalist wingnut, too!
The minute I see you participating intelligently, I'll "consider" you for a discussion, also.
Get over yourself and your awful "ideas."
I suggest you go back to DUH Underground...RB really isn't your kind of place!
