What did W know and when? (Tenet perjury about to explode)
http://www.democrats.com/view.cfm?id=21917

snip

"The widely-known but as yet unspoken truth in Washington is that Tenet committed perjury in his April 14 statements before the 9/11 Commission. The CIA Director raised his right hand and was sworn-in before that official inquiry. He stated repeatedly he had not met with President Bush in August 2001. When given several opportunities by Commission members to correct or retract his story during his sworn testimony, he did not do so. It wasn't a momentary memory lapse or slip of the tongue. Tenet lied repeatedly under oath. That is the very definition of perjury. But, within hours it was apparent that public records contradicted Tenet's statement about his meetings with Bush. CIA aides called reporters later that afternoon and offered that Tenet had "misspoken." The alternative explanation given was that Tenet had "temporarily forgotten," and that is what was reported in the newspapers. The story was all but buried...."

snip

" The story doesn't end there. It turns out that the CIA compounded Tenet's lie with a misrepresentation of its own, and everybody who is anybody in the national media missed that fact. Later in the afternoon of April 14th, Agency spokespersons, Bill Harlow and Anya Guilsher, gave information to reporters that omitted a key Tenet-Bush meeting held on August 24, 2001. They told the media that Agency records showed Tenet met Bush only on August 17 and 31, and then on at least six occasions in September prior to Tuesday, the 11th. .."

snip

"If Tenet did not take the opportunity of his meetings to discuss Al-Qaeda with the President, he committed one of the worst acts of derelection of duty in CIA history. Former DCI George Tenet is generally held to be a thorough and responsible intelligence executive. It is simply implausible that Tenet and Bush did not discuss the 9/11 hijackers when they met in Crawford on August 17 and then, again, on August 24, both dates coinciding with important developments in the Al-Qaeda operation.

A special prosecutor needs to be appointed to investigate CIA Director Tenet's apparent perjury on April 14 and the Agency's material misrepresentation of fact in its statement the next day. The former CIA Director and the President need to reveal publicly, and under oath, what was discussed at their numerous meetings in the weeks before 9/11, and why there has been an effort to conceal this.

3. It will never happen.
The Right Wing in Congress won't allow it. They didn't allow the memo that Asscrack refused to even have Congress read in private session to be under subpeana. Now it is on the Net in full for all who wish to read it but Congress won't get the original.

War Cimes have been commiteed and Rumsfailed even publicly admitted to one yesterday. He knows that he will never be fired or prosecuted for anything. BushCo has carte blanche to commit any crimes they feel like and no one can prosecute them for it.
