Update on 911 warnings mess-
Meeting between Rice and Tenet- summer 2001.
Tenet gave her emergency and detailed info on upcoming attacks, by his account.
Rice says she urged Ashcroft and Rummy to read it.
Ashy and Rummy deny ever being briefed about it.
Ashy said today he is upset he wasn't told.
Rice was polite during the briefing, but felt that ***although the briefing contained nothing new, it was important enough for the other two men to get the info immediately.***
Initially, Rice DENIED EVER HAVING THIS MEETING!
Her office now admits the meeting.
But they say the info was old.
Tenet says it was important info about upcoming attacks. Woodward has CIA sources which say that Coldi is lying - the briefing was new, and painted a very clear picture of the impending attack. plus, the national archive says that Tenet got a car and made an emergency visit to declare the info, and it was of the highest priority.
Tenet felt the info was important, called an emergency meeting to show condi, who brushed him off. Condi, after 5 years of saying there was no such emergency meeting, suddenly remembers it? Gimme a break.
I believe Condi was told, she didn't tell Ashcroft or Rummy. Monster 'WTF' right there. Then out of either sheer incompetence, or criminal complance, she did nothing. Just sat on the info til the planes hit the tower.
