TW with G. Stephanopolous: Kean and Hamilton 9/11 commission

[LittleApple81]

no collaborative relationship for 9/11.
Hamilton: contacts between Iraq and Alqaida in the mid-90's. The core statements of commission: there is no conflict in the reports statement.
George now showing Cheney.

[LittleApple81]

1. Cheney said Iraq responded to AlQaida overtures. Kean said

Pakistan and Iran also had contacts.
Hamilton: difference between report and VP: Cheney said that there was response from Iraq and they didn't find that. That is why they have asked Cheney for more information.

[nostamj]

4. he was!

but I was on the phone with my brother-in-law and missed all but the last few seconds... :grr:

[LittleApple81]

3. They said that the commission needs the info from Cheney pretty fast

and they might ask him to reappear in front of the comission.

[LittleApple81]

5. Read statement by Bush* about Iraq providing poison gas etc. to

AlQaida. Hamilton said no evidence for such statement found.

[LittleApple81]

6. Staff reports are not the whole report. We will include additional info

in final report (Kean).

[LittleApple81]

7. Cheney saying Mohamed Atta met with Iraqi rep. Not proven but

not refuted.
Hamilton says they have a picture of Atta, phone records, etc. saying that he was in the USA. It is not CONCLUSIVE proof not in Prague, but it seems to indicate he was not. (WHY DO THEY KEEP ON PUSSY FOOTING AROUND???? Cheney is lying!!!!!)

[LittleApple81]

8. Saudi communication with Taliban asking not to be attacked in

exchange for help (Pakistan had similar deals to help Taliban)

Pakistan's intelligence service WORKED WITH THE TALIBAN and therefore AlQaida.

[LittleApple81]

9. George: Saudi Arabia and Pakistan collaborated MORE with

Taliban and AlQaida than IRAQ?
Hamilton: Saudi Arabia GOVERNMENT or ROYAL FAMILY did not provide support to Osama bin Laden. (LIE!!!) Conflicting evidence? Ha!
