Subject: RE: BS: Deceit and Secrecy in Government
Amos, there is an interesting article on CNN.com right now. Apparently, the August 6, 2001 intelligence briefing that supposedly gave advance warning of the 9/11 attacks has been declassified, but "portions of the intelligence report dealing with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network and dated August 6, 2001, have been redacted for national security reasons, the White House said." The question that comes immediately to everyone's mind will undoubtedly be "national security or Mr. Bush's and Ms. Rice's security?" They still can't understand that full disclosure, even if that requires giving away 3-year-old secrets, is the only way they are going to ever get out of the hole they are digging themselves. Full story here.
