Bill Moyers On The 911 Commission Report

This is the September 10, 2004 program of Bill Moyers NOW!

911/For The Record (Parts 1-6)
(Files are 20-25 MB each)


This program is riveting from beginning to end. Moyers recounts the events of 911 in chronological order, using testimony, video footage, taped conversations, transcripts, etc.
He then reminds us what the report concludes: the Administration had been warned repeatedly by their own counterterrorism experts that Al Qaeda was determined to attack within the United States. (Richard Clark sent his first memo just five days after Bush’s inauguration in January 2001.)
And yet the Shrub Administration did nothing to try to prevent it.
They did everything to use it to their advantage after it happened, however.
The Frontline episode on “Rumsfeld’s War” I’m about to put up illustrates this fact nicely.

New Searchable Database Charts Bush/Cheney Lies

This just in from a friend of mine:

As the September 11th Commission grills President Bush and Vice President Cheney about their contradictory statements today, we wanted to alert you to a powerful new tool to help journalists, activists and the public compare the Bush administration’s claims against well-documented facts.
The Center for American Progress today launched a comprehensive

Claim vs. Fact database
that documents statements from conservatives like President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Members of Congress and Fox News personalities, and compares those statements to the facts.

Each fact is sourced, and in many cases includes a web link directly to that source.

This is from the March 28, 2004 program of 60 Minutes.
This is all water under the bridge now, because we know now that she already testified. But I thought this would still be interesting to in retrospect.

Daily Show On The Republican Response To Richard Clarke’s 911 Commission Testimony

This is from the March 29, 2004 program.
This bit includes clips of Richard Clarke’s testimony before the 911 Commission, the Republican’s retaliatory media frenzied response, Condi Rice on 60 Minutes (going up soon), Colin Powell’s rather mild criticisms, and Clarke on Meet the Press reading a highly complimentary note of thanks sent to Clarke from the Shrub after Clarke resigned his post. Meanwhile, CIA Outer Robert Novack accuses Clarke of being racist towards Condi Rice.
