DUers ask for three sets of missing documents on Iraq
In the thread "What the little turd from Crawford did six years ago, <www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1528134#1529430>,
DU posters name three sets of documents, now missing, which are
essential to understanding the Iraq war:

(1) In post #23, RobertPaulsen asks where are the missing pages from the Presidential Daily Briefing Bush received on Bin Laden's plans on August 6, 2001? Some reports say the paper was 11 pages long, but only two pages have been released.

(2) In post #24, Canuckistanian asks where are the missing pages from the report that the Iraqi government delivered to the United Nations in 2002? The U.S. government removed thousands of pages before allowing the UN to release it.

(3) In post #48, Virginia Dare asks where are the missing pages about the Saudi government that were removed from the 9/11 Commission report? 28 pages about Saudi involvement in the 9/11 attacks are blank.

I knew about (1) and (2), but (3) was new to me, so I did a little checking, and sure enough, I found a mainstream media link: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/30/world/main565782.shtml

Hats off to the "situational awareness" and memory of DUers. I'd like to see someone ask Democratic presidential candidates whether or not they would approve release of these documents, if elected.

And wouldn't it be nice if some patriot who remembers he or she took an oath to defend the Constitution, not the president, went ahead and leaked these documents!

1. And there it is...
And there the "librul media" left it all these years...

2. One little blurb and they left it at that
The MS media manipulates the news more by what they don't investigate or tell us than what they actually publish.

Are Bush and the media protecting the Saudis, and therefore it has nothing to do with our intelligence?

3. Kingdom Holdings has big positions in Fox News (NewsCorp) and CNN (Time-Warner)
I'm sure we'd find similar positions in all of our mass media companies....probably a good reason why the American people are clueless about how Saudi Arabia influences our news.
