If we had this 911 report BEFORE the Iraq war....would we have gone?

An early UPI story shared the report was finished months ago and was "delayed".


WASHINGTON, July 23 (UPI) -- The report of the joint congressional inquiry into the suicide hijackings on Sept. 11, 2001, to be published Thursday, reveals U.S. intelligence had no evidence that the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein was involved in the attacks, or that it had supported al-Qaida, United Press International has learned.

"The report shows there is no link between Iraq and al-Qaida," said a government official who has seen the report.

Former Democratic Georgia Sen. Max Cleland, who was a member of the joint congressional committee that produced the report, confirmed the official's statement.

In my view ... this is criminal. To purposefully delay the report to allow "your war for profit".

To use Tweety's word....this is "bullshit"

1. I believe it was finished in December 02!

Co-author Republican Porter Goss of Florida agreed with fellow author Bob Graham that the report's declassification should've been expedited. Ridiculous!
