96 Hint Of Suicide Hijack Scheming [see Bush frame-up bolded in article]

The Washington Post said Saturday that a top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush in 1998

Now let's think - what man was president in 1998, received that top-secret briefing, and is responsible for dropping whatever ball was dropped?

[sjeann]

Wow! Good catch! They are really scared!

[BrooklynGOP]

Nope, no bias in the media.. noooooooooooooope.

[Ross Amann]

The Media thinks that people will believe anything they say - if they say it often enough. Bush was definitely not President in 1998; wasn't Martin Sheen President then?

I was really ticked that my thread on the same topic got deleted and then I saw you beat me by a minute. Quick work, moderator!

[AmishDude]

This was linked by Drudge. I wonder who brought it to his attention?

[sjeann]

I really think this whole thing is a set up so when the dots start connecting back to the Clinton administration, they can say- oh, they are both equally to blame, lets move on now and try to fix the problem.

I've emailed CBS...not that it will make a difference.

shame on Governor Bush for not reading the security releases.

[TheLurkerX]

Me too. I can't believe the idiots haven't changed the story yet.

The media frenzy is so illogical that its almost pointless to note this, but the "plane packed with C4 or Semtex" was likely considered to be a pilotless plane (remote controlled) or possibly a private plane with a suicide bomber.

In no way, shape, or form does the Clinton-era report envision a commerical aircraft converted into a flying fuel-bomb.

I guess the media is delighted that there are no actual facts here, and the little that's available can be twisted to their perverse, anti-American agenda.

Guess we'll have to wait for the next attack to get the attention of the Beltway scumbags.

The problem is that there was some morons who think that Bush was President back them. I did not know that Governors recieve intelligence breifings.

'Course, I will keep in mind that you chose to delete my article. I trust I shall get future considerations.

[Admin Moderator]

Duly noted. ;^)

[AmishDude]

No! Don't send them feedback. They'll just change it. Let it stay. Better yet, somebody should mirror it, all of it, not just the text.

The Washington Post said Saturday that a top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush in 1998 focused on efforts by Osama bin Laden to strike at targets in the U.S.

I met a girl last month that was preparing for her last two years to get a masters in political science. I was amazed at her stupidity about politics and it's no surprise to me that these people, including the people at CBS, have already forgotten that Bush didn't take office until 2001.

Besides the obvious problem with the report being presented to the former President which is just sloppiness on the part of CBS In writing this article you should also have explained what happens to all files, paperwork, hardisks and other material when an administration changes especially from one part to another. When a new administration takes over their isn't a single scrap of paper with information on it in the WH or Old Executive Building. They start from scratch. Not only that but a lot of the senior positions (not only the top jobs) are vacant and when they get filled either temporarily or permanently those taking the jobs spend most of their time getting up to speed on current issues not reports from 2 years prior to the change in administration unless someone in the permanent civil service or executive service makes sure that they see it.

Not to make the above point when writing or broadcasting about this report grossly distorts the truth of the story as reported turning it into a lie by omission. It's not like the media doesn't know what happens when their is a change in administration.

The only way the new administration would know about the report is if someone in the permanent bureaucracy or a Clinton hold over saw that they got it. The obvious person to see that they got this "important" report would be the head of the CIA. Of course he prioritized the older material that they needed to see. Without knowing what was shown to them and what wasn't we have no way of knowing whether the priorities were correct. My guess is that this report didn't and shouldn't have made the list of things that the new administration needed to see.
