It's too bad, but "Useful Fools" is right. Compare this to the full document I posted. Message 20010484

Newsday, Lying Bastards

Newsday, having finally read the uninformative but much hyped Presidential Daily Briefing, in their headline:

U.S. was warned".

The subhead proclaimed:

A declassified document written five weeks before 9/11 says al-Qaida members were planning major attacks, including hijackings

The story starts out:

WASHINGTON - Just five weeks before the 9/11 terror attacks, the CIA told President George W. Bush that a group of Osama bin Laden supporters was said to be in the United States planning assaults with explosives.

The paper also warned that the FBI had noted domestic activity "consistent with preparations" for airplane hijackings or other attacks - "including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York."

...and later

But the newly released briefing is certain to provide fresh ammunition to administration critics who want to challenge the veracity of Rice's testimony and question whether Bush did everything possible to prevent the attacks.If you read the entire article, you will never find a mention of the fact that the FBI was already conducting about 70 full field investigatiaons in the US related to Bin Laden.

It really sounds like the President should have just called up Ascroft and said "Pick up those guys who are going to fly airplanes into buildings on September 11th."

But the real text of the statement is vague. The information not actionable. Investigations were already in place (according to the document).

Newsday, as is typical of the elite media, would rather digest this short statement and tell you what they want you to think. Even though this appeared on their web site, they provided no link to the original document. Clearly they view their readers as not smart enough to come to the proper conclusions from the raw document.

The press in the United States is becoming a subsidiary of the Hate-Bush Democratic Party. They should be ashamed. But they aren't and never will be.
