Flashback:Bush asks Daschle to limit 9/11 probes

[D_Raay]

Bush asked that the 9-11 Investigations focus on intelligence failures, and as a result, we got an investigation that reported on intelligence failures and ONLY on intelligence failures. But let us take an analogy to show how worthless such a report is. After the sinking of RMS Titanic, if the investigation had been ordered to only examine the quality of metal used in the hull, the official conclusion for the loss of Titanic would have concluded that the metal was in hindsight not sufficient to the task of running up against icebergs. Left unsaid because it was outside the defined scope of the Titanic Report was Bruce Ismay's "suggestion" that Titanic try to set a new speed record and Captain E.J. Smith's recklessness in agreeing to do so.

Likewise, critical questions about 9-11 were intentionally excluded from the scope of the 9-11 report, and by design do not appear in the final report. Questions like, who was really on those planes, given that the FBI has admitted that the documents used to name the Arab suspects were all forgeries. And, what is that evidence that links arrested Mossad agents with 9-11 that was classified by the US Government?

Just what was Bush planning to conceal when he asked Congress to limit the investigation?

Questions like why was he everywhere but Washington DC prior to these attacks. Was this pure coincidence? He has a way of avoiding the action.

There's more info that hasn't been released. I'm hoping that someone leaks it next week. Read more here http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/102004V.shtml

The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket
By Robert Scheer

The agency is withholding a damning report that points at senior officials.
It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

"It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed," an intelligence official who has read the report told me, adding that "the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward."
