TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Wednesday, February 11, 2004

Barbara Honegger observes on the 911truthalliance list:

If you read the 'Kean Commission-White House PDB Deal' Times story carefully, you'll see that Kean and Hamilton's comment that the agreement on PDB access reached today with Bush's White House attorney Gonzalez "would enable the panel to review 'all - we repeat, all - P.D.B.'s responsive to the Commission's document requests'..." is hyperbole. In fact, all the White House agreed to do -- and, worse, the Kean Commission agreed to accept it -- was to release the PDB notes ALREADY written up by Zelikow and Gorelick which Gonzales had been blocking the release of. And because other reports have stated that, prior to this, ONLY Zelikow was allowed to see ALL 260 PDBs to take notes ON, it's almost certain that Gorelick was allowed only to see those covering the Clinton Administration, and Zelikow those from BOTH the Bush Admin. AND the Clinton Admin.

The Commission has therefore agreed to accept the 'say so' of ZELIKOW ALONE ON ALL BUSH ADMINISTRATION PDBs, which is tantamount to RICE herself, or Bush himself, writing those summaries, as Zelikow is Rice's crony, former book co-author and Bush Transition Team NSC head -- and it was Zelikow's NSC Transition Team that got the 'Al Qaeda is the No. 1 U.S. threat' briefings from the outgoing Clinton NSC Adviser Sandy Berger and Richard Clarke and then made the decision to downplay Al Qaeda and terrorism in the incoming Administration regardless. The key sentence in the below NY Times article (CAPS added for emphasis) is:

"...Commission member Jamie S. Gorelick and the Commission's executive director Philip D. Zelikow HAD ALREADY PREPARED a detailed report on all the presidential briefs important to the investigation..."

Said story from NY Times 2004 02 10:

The commission investigating the Sept. 11 terror attacks said today that it had reached an agreement with the White House on access to highly classified intelligence reports for the Oval Office.
