DEMOCRAT Senate Majority leader Tom Daschle said he was
gravely concerned and asked President Bush to turn over to Congress
information that he received. Clearly there is a lot more to be learned before we
can come to any final conclusion about all of the facts, but it clearly raises some very
important questions that have to be asked and have to be answered, he said.
Why did it take eight months for us to receive this information? And secondly, what
specific actions were taken by the White House in response?
House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, DEMOCRAT-Mo., said Congress needs to find out - in
hearings open to the public - what Bush and other officials knew, when
they knew it and what they did with the information, in order to prevent future terrorist
attacks. "The way to do better is to understand what happened in the past,"
Gephardt said. "Was there a failure of intelligence? Did the right officials not act
on the intelligence in the proper way? These are things we need to find out."
Sen. Bob Graham, DEMOCRAT-Fla., the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, said the
disclosures in the memos marked an important discovery in Congress' investigation into why
the FBI, CIA and other U.S. agencies failed to learn of and prevent the Sept. 11 plot.
How in the world could somebody have read this document and not had lights,
firecrackers, rockets go off in their head that this is something that is really
important? Graham said of the Phoenix FBI memo.
Will the DEMOCRATS allow all the information to come out on U.S. Security? Bush's
popularity is too high. They worry about the upcoming elections and losing power. Do they
really care about ALL THE FACTS? Are they Really Power Hungry Leeches who will do anything
to remain in control. We think the latter!
