28 Pages of 9/11 Report Revealed (Debka Alert!)

Dekba | 8/1/2003 | Debka

"A source who has read the entire report described those few pages as an incendiary concoction of highly sensitive intelligence materials relating to war, foreign relations, domestic politics and even the President’s campaign for reelection in 2004. Its connotations are potentially detrimental to the president and even more so to America’s world standing amid its preoccupations with two wars."

Of course the Democrats couldn't care less, if they damage the US, just so they can somehow get Bush. They are not fit to hold ANY national office, much less the presidency.

"It's DEBKA-man!

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Regardless of the veracity of this story, no one can say that the Saudis are smart.They have failed, with remarkable ineptness, to grasp how doomed their present State truly is since 9/11, and they still act like sheiks in the souk.Their sloth and decadence has made them...kaput.

The Library of Congress collects all sorts of things, including some comic books.

I don't know what Debkafile's War Diary is but I'm assumiong it's a history of some sort; a far cry from their controversial and sensational intelligence bulletins such as this one.

Frankly I find the assertion that Senator Graham — a Democrat — could dictate that the Republicans include an anti-Bush section in the report to be nonsensical.

Until I am shown convincing evidence to the contrary I consider this Debksfile report to be bullCENSORED.

The Ex Congressman John Kasich said on Hannity & Colmes the other day that it would be posted on the internet in a couple of days..... Guess he was right.

"If Debka is so unreliable, why do you think the Library of Congress decided to include Debka's reports? "

Maybe it's filed away in the "Humor" section...

Thank you, for possibly the best synopsis on Debka I have seen yet.

This "report" keeps moshing around dates, like 1991, 2001, 2002, et al.

Conspicuously absent are the dates 1993 - 2001!

Now, how could that be?

[gwmoore]

Agreed, Monty22--

I have always held forth that we should have turned keys no later than 9/12.

No religion, no shrines, no martyrs

Here's an article I just posted concerning Debka's reliability:

My other comment is that,"Where were all the Republicans on the committee?!" to allow the Democrats to put in accusations, slander and highly sensitive information.

Shelby and Graham have agendas. Even before the latter announced his bid for the White House he opposed action in Iraq saying that it would divert the resources necessary to fight terrorism. Shelby, on the other hand, has it in for Tenet. I think both would look to prove their points in their investigation.

The Cold War didn't simply vanish it went to other fronts with the same pawns (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc.) Look at France with their Cold War superpower rhetoric and need to conter-balance the United States. Their failure to support action in Iraq is rooted in this view.

If all those 28 pages did were embarrass the President or put him or his chief advisors on the hot seat, I think they would be released. What's in there is probably very damning to the Saudis, but that isn't a battle the President is able to wage right now. We need, for a number of reasons, to deal with them. Their time will come though.

"(Debka)...has grown exponentially in size and buzz, now reaching approximately 150,000 regular readers and receiving over 1.2 million hits each week. The majority of the site's audience is American, with 30% logging on from Israel and another 8% from 96 other countries throughout the world.


Debkafile is self-supporting, establishing a revenue stream with subscriptions to its weekly e-mail newsletter (there are now several 100 readers paying $120 each year to receive in-depth analysis, details, and prognoses via e-mail that cannot be found on the Web site), along with money made by providing a customized news service for individuals and corporations.


Readers include military and intelligence officials, financial and academic leaders, as well as interested students and curious skeptics.

Although the Observer allowed that the accuracy of Debkafile’s information is difficult to assess, it noted that the site must be doing something right if so many military and intelligence officials, as well as journalists make up its core audience. "

Above excerpt is from the article at the link you gave, which in general tries to bash Debka. BUT... A lot of influential people not only read Debka, but PAY, to read it. All those people wouldn't be paying out good money, if they didn't think it was worth it. Also intelligence officers wouldn't bother to read it, if it were pure fiction.

A lot of people pay to read the National Enquirer too.

If full copies have been given to Americans and foreign people, it would aready be online.

It isn't.

[Terp]

Can't believe there's people at Free Republic who actually believe a word of what DEBKA says [laughing outloud].

[mewzilla]

FWIW, according to FOX's Judge Napolitano, any sen. who wanted to put this info out could: All the senator would have to do is read from the report while on the floor of the Senate and the senator couldn't be prosecuted criminally. There's a provision in the Constitution that prohibits arrest for anything said there.

The consensus around the blogsphere seems to be that Debka is a rumor mill which may be more-or-less right 50% of the time.

The problem lies is deciding which 50% to believe.

[CyberAnt]

I rarely take the time to read their stuff - none of it ever pans out.

One thing I did notice while scanning though it - none of the dates occured during Bush's term in office - THE DEMS WILL NOT BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT - THEY WERE SO HOPING TO HAVE SOME SORT OF "SMOKING GUN" TO USE AGAINST BUSH!!

[rwfromkansas]

Couldn't he be ordered to stop speaking?
