Time to finally have an independent 911 investigation. Not antoher farce investigation headed up by a Bush crony like Phillip Zelikow did with the 911 commission.

Zelikow had closer ties with the White House than he publicly disclosed and that he tried to influence the final report in ways that the staff often perceived as limiting the Bush administration’s responsibility and furthering its anti-Iraq agenda. According to the book, Zelikow had at least four private conversations with former White House political director Karl Rove, and appears to have had many frequent telephone conversations with people in the White House. The Commission staff kept a record only of calls Zelikow received, but Government Accountability Office records show his frequent calls to the 456 telephone exchange in the 202 area code used exclusively by the White House. Also, Zelikow ordered his assistant to stop keeping a log of his calls, although the Commission’s general counsel overruled him. Zelikow had pledged to have no contact with Rove and Condoleezza Rice during his work for the 9/11 Commission.

The book also reports that some panel staffers believed Zelikow stopped them from submitting a report depicting Rice’s and Bush’s performance as “amounting to incompetence or something not far from it”. Zelikow has denied discussing the commissions work with Rove and further added “I was not a very popular person in the Bush White House when this was going on” and remarked the staffers were disgruntled.

One defining characterization to what it means to be an American is the ability to be FREE from unwarranted searches and seizures; THE FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY!

REMEMBER:
THEY(sic) HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOMS…
And so THEY(sic) debate the merits to undermining those very Freedoms that define what it means to be an American.

Anyone who argues to be LESS American is no American to me.

Illegal wiretapping in the Bush Administration: “Patriotic”

At least some people could smell what they were shovelling.

any word on how Harris got that info?

Though Qwest was seeking contracts from the NSA, its then CEO Joseph Nacchio denied repeated requests to let the NSA monitor its network, and later also turned down requests to turn over billions of customer records to the government, asking both times for legal orders, according to media reports and statements in Nacchio court records.

Nacchio was convicted of selling shares in 2001 with knowledge that the company wouldn’t make its revenue targets. According to court documents unsealed in October, Nacchio was blocked from arguing that he believed that the company would make its public projections, thanks to classified NSA contracts, but that the NSA withheld them as punishment for his unwillingness to help the NSA without being legally ordered to do so.

Those unsealed, but redacted documents explosively hinted that the NSA asked for call records just days after President Bush took office, but Harris reports the requests were different.

Bullsh_t.

This illegal activity occurred before 9/11. This admin are the real terrorists.

And then what happened? NOTHING!!!

If they STUMBLED onto this program, how do they know when its INCEPTION began???

I know…they asked Cheney.

Trusting Cheney to tell the truth was their first mistake.
