“I know you all think it was Bush's fault, but why is Klinton being questioned on what he knew prior to 9/11??? I thought Billy did everything?

Quizzing Them on 9/11
Bush and Clinton may be asked to meet with the independent commission investigating the terrorist attacks
By TIMOTHY J. BURGER AND MATTHEW COOPER

Will President Bush be summoned before the independent commission investigating 9/11? It now appears very likely. John Lehman, Ronald Reagan's Navy Secretary and one of five Republicans on the 10-member panel, told TIME that he wants both President Bush and former President Clinton to meet with the commission and discuss matters that could include what their Administrations knew about the al-Qaeda terrorist plots—and what was done to combat them—before the 9/11 attacks.

With the commission evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, Lehman's position makes it all but certain that a majority will support a request to interview Bush and Clinton. "I don't think any commission should ever formally call a President to testify," Lehman said, "but I think it is very much in the country's interest—and in both President Clinton's and President Bush's interest—to meet directly with the commissioners." Responded White House press secretary Ari Fleischer: "The White House has been and will continue to cooperate with the commission."

Investigation fever is building on Capitol Hill. Richard Shelby, former top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, who complained that federal agencies like the cia and countries like Saudi Arabia hampered the congressional probe into the Sept. 11 attacks, has a new angle. Term limits forced the Alabama Republican off the intelligence panel this year, but as new chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, he is setting up hearings aimed at terrorist funding. A Shelby aide says the hearings will have "the Executive Branch telling the committee what they've done with the Patriot Act," the post-9/11 law that expanded the government's antiterror capabilities. The aide says the hearings' focus will include the CIA and the governments of Saudi Arabia and Yemen—and what they're doing to stanch the flow of terrorists' funds.”

“Let the chips fall where they may.”

“It's 'Okay' to slam President CLinton- but critisizing Bush* gets your posts deleted.

I think that says it all.”

“packman, why do you spell clinton with a k?”

“Because I feel like it.”

“and why do you feel like it?”

“Zen - I'm not sure what you are talking about. I haven't seen Bush bashing posts deleted from here.

I haven't seen any political bias in the way posts get deleted around here and I've been haunting the political threads 'round here for a years.”

“Zen's old counterintelligence buddies have hacked into Trail Talk and deleted his posts.”

“Just call me Ultra_Zen. Didn't reset my preferences.”

“I can respect owning up to dumb goofs. I've had some practice myself.”

“Klinton schminton.....the man was bending us over for cash and im sure the investigations will go on way into the future too considering everything he did was for personal greed. Nobody cares what kind of man he was personally...the plain truth is he f*cked us for personal financial gain and I can guarantee that his name is going to pop up in more than just 9-11 and the war. He sold everything from pardons to secrets. basically he sold us all the way around causing massive damage thats seemingly impossible to correct now.”

“Whether Bush or Peewee herman was elected this time around...there's about 8 years of ruins to clean up”
