That's not the first wall she erected, just the first one that worked.

Jamie Gorelick,Hellish Memories BUMP!
So, how high up the chain of command (at CENTCOM, or wherever) did their case get 'stopped' (rejected)????
I want NAMES!!!
Tell me what happed to the Admiral responsible for the defense of U.S. Pacific Territories / Pearl Harbor on December 1941???
It has never been reported that Atta and al-Shehhi were on anybodies radar prior to 9/11.
We did know that al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi were known to the CIA, but we didn't know they were also identified by the DOD.
Oh, thank you for confirming that, True Capitalist. I appreciate it.
This smells of a cover up. Many people had to have remembered this chart with the hijackers photos, but remained silent.
Exactly! I have wondered why the DOJ would let Berger off like they did, but Republicans acting this way is not new. Remember the Waco investigation? Republicans and even some Democrats (I think a member of the Congressional Black Caucus tore into Reno) were very disgusted and appalled but ended up finding no wrong doing. The Clinton impeachment was stopped by Republicans who thought lying under oath to a grand jury was proper conduct of a President. Seems sometimes the Republicans and the Dems are on the same side, their own, and we sit in the middle and suck on it.
Why was this information not discovered during the 911 commission hearings? Seems to me that we need an oversight commission to the 911 hearings, hopefully this time with honest to God citizens and not politicians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's not the first wall she erected, just the first one that worked.
We all know that apprehending Osama bin Ladin and dismantling Al Queda were at the TOP of the Clinton administration priorities. Don't we? (sarc-off)
Its not Clinton's fault. Monica's the one who blew it.......
;-)
that's a good point. wasn't anyone else looking into this, was Berger the first one to "reach" those documents in the archives and steal/destroy them?
I'm trying to remember......Berger was gathering information for Bill Clinton's testimony(?) before the 911 comission. Maybe Berger was considered staff? Staff never seems to have a name/s.
Douglas Jehl better go read a book, start with The 3rd Terrorist, and then Deriliction of duty. The second one doesn't have any pictures though.
Yeah, how about freepers. At least we would know it was done right.
Exactly! At least that's my vote...but I've been wrong before, heck, I voted for a Democrat once.
The 9/11 Commission, which had not seen the documents before they disappeared, is convinced that they were given all the pertinent information while compiling their final report.
How do they know? Mr. Berger went to the National Archives in the fall of 2003, the Commission would not get around to looking at those particular documents until the following spring.
Adding to the mystery, Mr. Berger was caught making prohibited cell phone calls to an "unauthorized authority" and he also must have been suffering from a bad case of "Al Gore's Iced Tea Syndrome", which necessitated many suspicious trips to the Archives john.
So, what was Sandy Bergler up to? A hint comes from the 9/11 report, which states that Richard Clarke had suggested getting Osama bin Laden no less than four times - May 1998, June 1999, January 2000 and August 2000. Each time, Berger scribbled "no" in the margin.
Despite the ferocious rewriting of history by the Clintonistas, they essentially took a legalistic, law enforcement towards the burgeoning terrorist threat.
Osama bin Laden had been at war with the United States since the early 1990's. The Clinton Administration simply declined to fight back.
The answer to your question is yes.
