#1 The VP's office later DID have a comment, welcoming the commission statement, and repeating that their concern was with media coverage of the staff report.

"We have no credible evidence that Iraq and al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States." (Staff Report 15, Page 5) With the addition of the perfectly reasonable "we don't know" about any Iraqi role in 9/11, this is roughly what Cheney said immediately after the attacks and thereafter.

The staff report uses the words "apparently" and "appear" for its statements on AQ-Iraq collaboration. Tellingly diffident wording -- but I wonder if the final report will take on the matters covered by the Tenet Oct. '02 letter to the Senate committee, which seems to contradict the tentative yet broad staff statement. Seems unlikely, given their resources and mandate.

They'll also have to deal with the al-Shifah pharmaceutical plant and the alleged direct contact between AQ and Iraq's top VX expert -- a Bush deception cunningly launched back in 1998 via use of a time machine and mind control over the pervious administration ....

#2 Good points all, Verlaine. However, one cannot separate the incrimination of the CIA by the senate committee in tandem with the 9/11 report. On one hand, the senate has destroyed Tenet and the CIA's intelligence credibility; thereby, diminishing the Oct '02 Tenet report and congressional testimony. VP Cheney was pretty reliant on this intelligence.

I am disappointed with Pat Roberts and his committee because in combination with the release of the final 9/11 Commission report, this will end up not being helpful.

#7 A4617 - In a way, you can. On the main index page (not within one of the articles) you'll see the Site Meter symbol on the right sidebar. Click on it. Then click on a few things, like Who's On (under General) and Organization (under Site Tracking)... interesting stuff, sometimes. You can see anything that doesn't have a lock symbol beside it. Try it out.
