Perpetuating lies and deceipt with the "no transcript or recording of the session" so no one can detect lies through their teeth. Clinton, Bush conflict on assessing bin Laden threat: Time Sun May 2, 5:05 PM ET Add U.S. National - AFP to My Yahoo! WASHINGTON (AFP) - President George W. Bush (news - web sites) told a commission on the September 11 attacks that al-Qaeda was not outgoing president Bill Clinton (news - web sites)'s top security concern. Bush's testimony to the panel indicated that during a national security handover briefing, Clinton appeared far more passionate about the dangers of North Korea (news - web sites)'s nuclear program and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, Time magazine reported in its issue to hit newsstands Monday. Citing unnamed sources, Time wrote that Bush said Clinton "probably mentioned" terrorism as a national-security threat "but did not make it a point of emphasis." That testimony contradicted Clinton's testimony to the panel some weeks ago, Time wrote, that he told the commission he had ranked bin Laden as the most pressing problem the new administration would face. A source also told Time that Bush testified he had not been warned of CIA (news - web sites) and the FBI (news - web sites) concerns about would-be 747 pilot Zacarias Moussaoui, who was arrested in August 2001. The exact testimony given in the Oval Office last week by Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) remains confidential. The White House insisted Cheney join the president, that they not be sworn to tell the truth, and that there be no transcript or recording of the session -- only notes taken by one panel staffer and two White House lawyers. Bush said after the three-hour meeting Thursday with the panel investigating the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that he and Cheney had answered every question put to them. "If we had something to hide, we wouldn't have met with them in the first place. We answered all their questions," said the president who had only grudgingly agreed to talk with the commission under strict conditions. news.yahoo.com
