DECONSTRUCTING BushCo on the Anniversary of 9-11: A simple task the Cowering Democrats REFUSE to DO...
A little housekeeping in Commemoration of anniversary of 9-11 attacks...
#1. Michael Moore BACKS UP the FACTs of his 9-11 documentary, "Farenheit 9-11."
http://www.michaelmoore.com/books-films/f911reader/index.php?id=16
Right-wingers and Bush lovers HATE this movie, and imply that it is a 'docu-drama smear', in the way that Disney/ABC's 9-11 docu-drama really is a Rethuglican SWIFT-BOAT smear-job on the Clinton White House, full of incorrect facts and misleading story lines.
(The ABC-Disnye hit-piece, aired on 9-11 and 9-12-2006, portrays Sandy Berger as refusing a strike on Osama bin Laden, and portrays Madeline Albright as calling Pakistan to warn them the missiles are flying over Pak. airspace - in FACT, it was a US uniformed general who called Pakistan to warn them that the missiles flying over Pakistani airspace were from the US, and WERE NOT an attack from India, and the fact that the US launched missiles at bin Laden in Afghanistan is prima facea evidence that the Clinton administration did not HOLD BACK from attacking the Al Qaida terrorist leader.)
Righties say that Moore's film has similar detachment from truth, but the plain and simple fact is, that apart from talking to A.) the war mom; and B.) recruiters, and C.) Moore personally trying to get Congressmen to enlist their own sons or daughters in the US military; MOST of Moore's film is edited from EXISTING NEWS VIDEOS shot by OTHER news corporations. Like the scenes of BIN LADEN FAMILY BEING FLOWN OUT OF AMERICA a day (and two) AFTER the 9-11 attacks... WITHOUT ALLOWING FBI to question and interrogate the bin Laden family! ALL of those video clips were from other corporate news networks.
Righty Bush supporters will NEVER ADMIT - IF a Clinton, Gore, or Kerry White House FLEW bin LADEN family members OUT OF USA the day after a huge Al Qaida ATTACK, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Weiner-savage, and ALL the rest of the Right-Wing hysterical Jackals would be SHOUTING "TREASON!"
AND, therein, lies the crux of the problem of the Democrats in the 5 years since 9-11-2001.... the ability of the Bush-Rove-Cheney Republicans to spin ANY incident, ANY policy, ANY issue, ANY case of conflict-of-interest or outright incompetence, fraud, or corruption, the ability of Bush-Rove-Cheney Co. to SPIN any such news as a NON-ISSUE, no-scandal-here, move-along or else!
Here's the CNN article, PUFF-PIECE from January 2001, "Bush GETS HIS CIA BREIFINGS FACE-TO-FACE!" implying that Clinton was DERELICT for only getting a WRITTEN SUMMARY in his CIA daily briefings:

Here's an FAS (fed. Amer. scientists) site that PROVES THE LIE that Bush gave any serious consideration to those CIA briefings - not the best link on the subject, Farenheit 9-11 has a still photo of the actual briefing folder being shown to bush at his ranch on August 6, 2001.....

2001 CNN headline implies Mr. Bush pays strict attention to his CIA Daily Briefing:
Bush prefers CIA intelligence briefings face to face
Clinton liked written summaries
From David Ensor
CNN National Security Correspondent
January 18, 2001
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/stories/01/18/bush.briefing/index.html
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Even before Vice President Gore congratulated George W. Bush on his victory in the election, a long tradition quietly resumed: the Central Intelligence Agency started briefing Bush, every day, face to face.
Everywhere Bush has gone since then, from Austin, Texas, to Florida for a fishing vacation, a CIA briefer has been there to meet with him each morning, officials said.
President-elect George W. Bush and CIA director George Tenet, seen in recent photos
That was the way his father, former President George Bush, preferred it too. But for eight years, President Clinton only wanted the "PDB" -- the CIA daily briefing -- in writing, leaving it to his national security advisor to talk directly with CIA analysts each day.
The PDB is a six- to 12-page daily summary of intelligence prepared for the president and his top national security advisors.
The president-elect has made it clear, officials said, that he wants to receive the 'president's daily briefing' in person from a senior analyst, six days a week, usually first thing in the morning.
CIA officials said to be pleased
U.S. officials said they expect Bush and his team to be "pretty darn demanding" of the intelligence community -- seeking as much clear, concise intelligence as they can get -- and that pleases officials at the CIA.
Bush and his national security team have already asked for some shifts in the intelligence they receive each day, though officials decline to say on what topics they have been asked to provide more detail.
One likely topic of particular interest to the new administration since it has publicly said it wants a tougher policy toward Iraq: everything to do with Saddam Hussein's activities, ranging from weapons programs, to his personal whereabouts.
'We get more direct feedback'
Though CIA Director George Tenet has told others he has always had as much access to President Clinton as he needed, other officials privately argue that his administration did not always pay as much attention to what U.S. intelligence was gathering as it should.
"We like it" said an official, that the new president wants to resume face to face briefings. "It means we get more direct feedback and can tailor the product" better to the customer, the official said.
Early in the Clinton administration, then CIA Director James Woolsey found it almost impossible to get an appointment to see Clinton. When a private plane crashed on the White House grounds, there were jokes at the CIA that it was Woolsey trying to get a meeting with the president.
