jlallen, Here's something to ponder as you decide Administration secrecy is in the nation's best interest: Message 16981403 To:Bilow who wrote (17563) From: Raymond Duray Tuesday, Jan 29, 2002 11:55 PM Respond to of 17644 WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE? Hi Carl, In the wake of the GAO request for information from the Administration on how badly Kenny Boy Lay was greasing Tricky Dick Cheney's palm for a sweetheart national energy ripoff policy, one would think the Administration would show a bit of humility about the appearance of misconduct. Wrong. Instead what we now get is a disclosure of another order of magnitude of cover-up being proposed by the Bushistas. They want to cover-up the entire intelligence apparatus of the U.S. in the run-up to 9/11. What hubris! What in the world do they have to hide? cnn.com This is getting curiouser and curiouser..... President Bush personally asked Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle Tuesday to limit the congressional investigation into the events of September 11, congressional and White House sources told CNN. The request was made at a private meeting with congressional leaders Tuesday morning. Sources said Bush initiated the conversation. He asked that only the House and Senate intelligence committees look into the potential breakdowns among federal agencies that could have allowed the terrorist attacks to occur, rather than a broader inquiry that some lawmakers have proposed, the sources said Tuesday's discussion followed a rare call to Daschle from Vice President Dick Cheney last Friday to make the same request. "The vice president expressed the concern that a review of what happened on September 11 would take resources and personnel away from the effort in the war on terrorism, " Daschle told reporters. I can't believe I'm seeing this with my own eyes. What unmitigated gall and hubris! While el Presidente Gigante is asking us to spend untold billions on National Missile Defense and Homeland Security (bring on the SS, boys) he can't spend a dime to figure out why our intelligence systems failed? What's he trying to cover up? Incompetence, or worse? WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO HIDE? -Ray
