Dean Calls on Bush to Stop Stonewalling 9/11 Commission

DES MOINES -- Howard Dean issued the following statement in response to reports that the bipartisan 9/11 commission could soon be forced to issue subpoenas to the White House and other executive branch agencies because of continuing delays by the Bush administration in providing documents and other evidence needed by the panel:

"I am very concerned by the President's foot-dragging on cooperation with the bi-partisan 9/11 commission. We already know that President Bush received a written intelligence report in August 2001, the month before the attacks that Al Qaeda might try to hijack American passenger planes. The Administration's current stonewalling suggests that there is more that they knew and want to hide from the American public.

"The work that this commission is performing is critical to our national security. We need to know what transpired before the tragedy of 9/11 in order to avoid future similar tragedies. If the bipartisan commission investigating the terrorist attacks says that it needs the documents the Administration is withholding, then the President has an obligation to the American people to turn them over immediately.

"An issue this important to our national security should trump whatever concerns about political embarrassment the Administration might have."

How would bush know?
You remember where he was in August 2001
He was taking his 30day vacation in Crawford Tx
Remember after only 6months in office

I love this guy he never lets up.

Keep pounding em Doc the shrub is going down!

This is what a winning Prez candidate sounds like.

Everyone in Washington knows and won't say that Bush let 9-11 happen so his numbers would go up. REleasing the Daily Briefing of August 6th, 2001, would end the charade.

And don't forget that just 4 days before, on August 2nd 2001, the US envoy to the Taliban gave them Bush's last arm-twist to accept the pipeline deal offered by the oil industry (they wanted more royalty), which was:

ACCEPT OUR CARPET OF GOLD OR BE BURIED BY A CARPET OF BOMBS

Can't you just see Bush dreaming that one up and telling him to say that?

It was a declaration of war. And then Bush has the gall to say that they attacked us because they're jealous of our freedom!!

Dean having the freedom to speak the truth is incredible--and he can't get hurt by it like McKinney, as Repub Keane is himself mad about the stonewalling.

Mike Ruppert--take notice! (Ruppert is the top 9-11 investigator on the Internet http://www.fromthewilderness.com)

Dean is speaking truth to power. Anything could happen now...
