MTP Deconstruction: 9/11 Commision

9/11 Commision


Russert: There is another commission right now looking into September 11th.

President Bush: Yeah.

Russert: Will you testify before that commission?
President Bush: We have given extraordinary cooperation with Chairmen Kean and Hamilton. As you know, we made an agreement on what's called "Presidential Daily Briefs," and they could see the information the CIA provided me that is unique, by the way, to have provided what's called the PDB, because

Russert: Presidential Daily Brief?

President Bush: Right.
And see, the danger of allowing for information that I get briefed on out in the public arena is that it could mean that the product I receive or future presidents receive is somewhat guarded for fear of for fear of it being revealed, and for fear of people saying, Well, you know, we’re going to second guess that which you told the President.

I need good, honest information, but we have shared this information with both those gentlemen, gentlemen I trust, so they could get a better picture of what took place prior to September the 11th.
And again, we want I want the truth to be known. I want there to be a full analysis done so that we can better prepare the homeland, for example, against what might occur.

And this is all in the context of war, and the more we learn about, you know, what took place in the past, the more we are going to be able to better prepare for future attacks.

Russert: Would you submit for questioning, though, to the 9/11 Commission?

President Bush: Perhaps, perhaps.



Any comments????

1. No citizen is above the law

and the Constitution is still in effect, Chimp. Don't give me any cr@p about war. Lincoln testified before a Congressional Committee investigating some shady dealings with funds, and that was in the middle of a real war.

2. In other words ...

President Bush: Right.
And see, the danger of allowing for information that I get briefed on out in the public arena is that it could mean that the product I receive or future presidents receive is somewhat guarded for fear of for fear of it being revealed, and for fear of people saying, Well, you know, we’re going to second guess that which you told the President.

If the CIA KNOWS that their work will be inspected, they will be less likely to insert the lies that you pressured them to tell.

Yes, it would be terrible if the CIA wanted to always relate things honestly.
