AP - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she cannot recall then-CIA chief George Tenet warning her of an impending al-Qaida attack in the United States, as a new book claims he did two months before the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Well, Woodward does work for the Post and he definitely has an agenda. You can believe him for about as far as you can throw him.

Oh but the Bush Administration has never lied, twisted the truth, cherry picked information, etc. Please. These people are so dishonst and untrustworth they have managed to out do Nixon.

Besides having an agenda is really no excuse, this is politics and everybody has got an agenda. That doesn't automatically mean he's wrong or not trustworthy. He was right about Watergate after all.

Lets look at this logically:

How likely do you think it is that the Director of the CIA George Tenet and the Director of Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke (a conservative Republican) BOTH failed to discuss al Qaeda (a worldwide terrorist organization which had already attacked American interests) with their New Boss the National Security Advisor in 2000? Espically when you consider that BOTH men were fighting al Qaeda in the Clinton Administration.

If you're honest with yourself, the answer is pretty obvious. If by some miracle Condi (as National Security Advisor) really doesn't remember, that only proves she's even more incompetant then we imagined.

Its so obvious she's lying, because the truth is worse. She ignored the 9-11 warnings.

You got that right TI. Imagine that, Woodard publishing a book that's anti-Republican administration and just before an election? What a surprise huh? I wonder who the new deep throat is going to turn out to be this time? The last one was a disgruntled FBI guy (Felt) as I recall.
It's all so much political nonsense. It just serves to remind us how dirty politics is.
As far a Watergate goes, this is a different time but the nonsense remains the same. If it's not a Kennedy doing something to some woman or Clinton doing some woman then it's Nixon's guys breaking in to the Dem's office or something or other that Bush is or isn't doing. It's enough to disenfranchise most anyone.
Just my 2 cents.
