No you're absolutely right. My point was we can sit there and argue about who knew what, when etc. Bottomline is someone knew something and our military, intelligence, government failed the American people.
bottom line is that condi admitted getting that memo, on the red-eye from DC to crawford in middle of night from FBI with sirens blaring.
Then she told 911 commission she didn't read it.
Bush was in the room. fbi agent said bush said "you've covered your ass, goodnight".
Condi said she gave it to rummy.
Rummy said he gave it to ashcroft.
All 4 say they didn't read it.
This same memo came from isr and ger that same day.
This memo is redacted/blacked out regarding the details. In 40 years, we'll get the declassified version, and it'll list what germany said it lists - names, dates, targets, means of attack.
And all of us CTers, 70 years old in diapers, will see we were right. it'll be ancient history by then of course. Just like nobody cared about govt admitting Tonken never happened to start vietnam.
