New Revelations on Rumsfeld's 9/11 Posted by Suzanne Nossel

My friend Chris Borgen who blogs at Opinio Juris sent me the following from a student of his who blogs at outragedmoderates.org and got some interesting notes from a FOIA request of a meeting Rumsfeld held with staff on 9/11.  Its not totally new, but it beefs up the historical record on sorry episode that had grievous consequences that we are still living with.

The released notes document Donald Rumsfeld's 2:40 PM instructions to General Myers to find the "[b]est info fast . . . judge whether good enough [to] hit S.H. [Saddam Hussein] at same time - not only UBL [Usama Bin Laden]" (as discussed on p. 334-335 of The 9/11 Commission Report and in Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack).

In addition, the documents confirm the contents of CBS News' Sept. 4, 2002 report "Plans For Iraq Attack Began on 9/11," which quoted Rumsfeld's notes as stating: "Go massive . . . Sweep it all up. Things related and not." These lines were not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report or Woodward's Plan of Attack, and to my knowledge, have not been independently confirmed by any other source. After the Rathergate fiasco, I wondered if CBS had been fooled into publishing a story that, from a publicity perspective, seemed too good to be true.

Finally, these documents unveil a previously undisclosed part of the 2:40 PM discussion. Several lines below the "judge whether good enough [to] hit S.H. at same time" line, Cambone's notes from the conversation read: "Hard to get a good case."

Links to the released documents are available at the OutragedModerates site.

Measure out a good length of wire line or Links of London Letters, if the balls are larger, leather or cotton cord. Should be enough to wrap around your neck than 5 inches. If you are using wire, slide a bead embedded in one end and a part of clasp. Pass the cable through the securing of accounts, adjust, and then flatten the Links of London Sale with crimping pliers. Trim the tail of wire. String accounts. If you want a symmetrical pattern, start with the Links of London Pendants and add segments on each side. Add the second part of the hook or, if you are using a snap hook Should silver jewelry be plated? Silver coating can be done with rhodium, white gold, yellow gold and platinum, even. Another thing you should know when to buy silver Links of London online may no longer be done by hand or machine. Of course, pieces of handmade silver are priced much higher than machine-made counterparts because more value is placed on the works of human hands.

I just trust the actual response, folks stacking problems remain, not the beginning of the day some other news at great length. However, this obvious point thank you, although I do not agree with this overall, I think your point of view.

[ugg boots]

There's no cure, but then the UN wasn't ever very capable anyway. It's a parody of a State, by design. And it can't ever be "reformed" to become better than its original basic design, without basic re-design. Which would be tantamount to replacing it with a functional organization composed exclusively of democratic Lockean states who elect representatives and who can't raise their own armies. Think in terms of centuries before that happens. Like two. very happy.

[cheap coach boots]

The countries actively trying to block the package of reforms that were prepared for the summit -- Algeria, Cuba, Colombia, Egypt, India, Iran, Jamaica, Pakistan, Syria, Venezuela -- are trying to keep the UN from being more active and effective, often preferring the inconclusive debates that often paralyze the 191-country General Assembly.good.good.
