The crticalviewer has performed a great public service in creating A Busy Person’s Guide to the Bush Press Conference. Too bad I bothered reading the full transcript before I found this, but it does give me the capacity to assure you that exchanges such as the following are devastatingly accurate.
Q: You said the Aug. 6th PDB didn’t warn of hijacking airplanes into buildings, but just some things really close to that. Did you do anything in response?
A: I asked for the briefing and then went on vacation. The report was historical. I was concerned. If I didn’t know something its George Tenet’s fault. Nothing new in PDB. FBI was doing good. I would have acted. If only they had told me: “9/11, NYC, WTC, 8:30am” I would have been there.
