Democrat Frustrated by 9/11 Report Delays

WASHINGTON - The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Friday the release of an internal CIA (news - web sites) investigation into pre-Sept. 11 failures may be more than six weeks away — a delay she finds baffling.

Rep. Jane Harman (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., and other lawmakers have been pushing for months for the findings of an inquiry by the CIA's inspector general, John Helgerson. The report was first requested in December 2002 by a joint House-Senate committee investigating intelligence lapses before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

In an interview, Harman said the report was substantially completed in July. Before the November elections, she said, CIA Director Porter Goss told her it would be completed within a couple of weeks.

"I am baffled by this," Harman said. "It is a congressionally requested report. It should have been there in the summer."

Harman said her aides contacted the inspector general's office Friday and were told the report may be more than six weeks away. Among hang-ups, people who are named in the report have been invited to comment, but there are delays because some are overseas, Harman said.

"They have e-mail and computers," she added. "I don't think it's that hard to find people."

Or we could use the headline I wrote:

Bush Administration, Late On 9/11 Report, Continues to Stall

The is a whole can of worms there waiting to explode

we all know why that report didn't come out before the election and so does she.

...negligence instead of treason.

in 20 years or so. Don't interfere with the Bush legacy.

and a jiffy marker....

the public interest.

... who will take the report -- the FULL report -- and share it with the citizenry?

Remember the whispers and hints about deleted sections of the initial report, things that would make our hair stand on end if we knew the truth?

Well, let's hear it. Frankly, some cold hard facts to scare the shit out of all the people sleep-walking through their days today would be a welcome thing.

Secrecy be damned, let's get the whole story of just what a monstrous fuck-up 9-11 was.

is giving us.
