60 Minutes: Woodward Shares War Secrets
April 18, 2004
(CBS) Journalist Bob Woodward calls his new book, “Plan of Attack,” the first detailed, behind-the-scenes account of how and why the president decided to wage war in Iraq..............Did Mr. Bush ask his father for any advice? “I asked the president about this. And President Bush said, ‘Well, no,’ and then he got defensive about it,” says Woodward. “Then he said something that really struck me. He said of his father, ‘He is the wrong father to appeal to for advice. The wrong father to go to, to appeal to in terms of strength.’ And then he said, ‘There's a higher Father that I appeal to.’" Beyond not asking his father about going to war, Woodward was startled to learn that the president did not ask key cabinet members either.................

First, according to an article in today's Washington Post, entitled, "Bush Counsel Called 9/11 Panelist Before Clarke Testified," White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales had ex parte communication with at least one of the Commissioners, Fred Fielding, prior to Richard Clarke testifying before the Commission last week.

Whistleblower Coming In Cold From the F.B.I.
by Gail Sheehy
Sibel Edmonds says she was shocked at the lack of security in the F.B.I.’s
counterintelligence squad when she went to work there shortly after Sept. 11.
But when she spoke up, she was canned. Gail Sheehy tells her story.......While the news was full of reports of heaps of untranslated material
languishing inside the F.B.I.’s counterterrorism unit, Ms. Edmonds has claimed
that translators were told to let them pile up. She said she remembers a
supervisor’s instructions "to just say no to those field agents calling us to beg
for speedy translations" so that the department could use the pileup as evidence
to demand more money from the Senate. Another colleague she recalls saying
bitterly, "This is our time to show those assholes we are in charge."...........

I was able to watch/listen to Condi's testimony (if you can call it that) in front of the 9/11 Commission on the C-Span stream this morning. It is my personal opinion that the Commission is a complete whitewash and Condi is a lying piece of trash. Check it out for yourself, don't take my word for it, it will also be played on TV tonight so check the schedule while you're there. All you'll need to see is Chair Kean nodding along and smiling as Condi speaks, it made me sick. Listen to her voice and watch her facial expressions, she gives it all away when some of the members pretend to play hardball as the families clap and Condi reverts to filibuster mode to kill time. And none of the really hard questions were asked like why were there no planes scrambled on that day, whatever happened with all the funny trading on Wall Street right before the attacks, and why George Bush never got up from his chair as he sat in that classroom (remember this when she mentions being proud of the presidents leadership on 9/11). My hope is that despite the whole thing being rigged, Condi-Sleeza Rice and the Commission showed enough of their true character today that the American public will get a whiff of the elephant in the living room and demand the truth and arrests of the entire Bush Administration for their involvement in 9/11.
