2. One thing I am curious about
He still can't come out and state the redacted info can he? It's still classified, right?

Wouldn't the WH and Intel depts have to vet whatever is in his new book?

Anyway, I hope he can open some eyes nevertheless. He's a true patriot!

How he wanted to suppeona the saudi and the FBI wouldn't let him. Why were they so uncooperative the Administration would not saction a meeting or serve the suppeona. FBI had to check with the White House!

6. Make no mistake
I'm glad Sen. Graham is speaking up now. Would that he had spoken up 18 months and 1,000 lives ago.

7. Holy Crap. This is one hell of a story
Graham tried to deliver a subpoena to the FBI to force them to give up the FBI informant who was living with two terrorists from the San Diego terrorist cell who was on one of the planes that crashed into the WTC. The FBI begs for just a few more days - they give Graham the excuse that they're about to get more out of this guy, but once the deadline was up, the FBI is a no show? Doesn't give up the informant? :wtf:

8. That's what I mean
He tells a very dramatic story of being all ready to serve the subpoena, but somewhere in his febrile little mind, he holds back. I think Sen. Graham was more interested in his political career and his relations with people who were committing a terrible crime than he was in serving the best interests of the American people.

10. It sounds like he believed the bs that the FBI was feeding him
In hind sight, he shouldn't have believed that the FBI would contact him after they wiggled out of being handed the subpoena, but at the same time, did he have any reason to think the FBI would blatantly lie to him like that?

If he was more concerned about his career, I don't think he would have ever appeared with the subpoena in the first place. I hope he wasn't just trying to cover his ass by not rocking the boat.

12. I think it smells nevertheless
You don't (or shouldn't) routinely draw up a subpoena unless you're getting stonewalled or you think the witness might try to dodge. Something happened that made Sen. Graham look to cover his bases by drafting the subpoena in the first place. Then he got gulled, stalled, and shut out. It looks to me as if Sen. Graham now wants off the hook by looking like he was a bulldog for the American people, when in reality he was a purring little lapcat.

9. #$%^&*()*&^%$# Did you HEAR what he said about GOSS???
He loves the guy! He's known him for years and thinks he's qualified to be CIA director! He said that Goss saying he wasn't really qualified was Goss being self-deprecating???? :wtf:
