It's a shame that a (Republican) Congressman has been soliciting sex from under-18 pages on Capitol Hill, but trust me, this is more important:
"Officials now agree that on July 10, 2001, Mr. Tenet and his counterterrorism deputy, J. Cofer Black, were so alarmed about an impending Al Qaeda attack that they demanded an emergency meeting at the White House with Ms. Rice and her National Security Council staff."
But the 9/11 Investigation Committee at first claimed not to have heard about this meeting:
"Another Democratic commissioner, former Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste, said that the staff of the Sept. 11 commission was polled in recent days on the disclosures in Mr. Woodward’s book and agreed that the meeting 'was never mentioned to us.'"
Then admitted it had, but there's some confusion:
"But it turns out that the panel was, in fact, told about the meeting, according to the interview transcript and Democratic commission member Richard Ben-Veniste, who sat in on the interview with Tenet. The meeting was not identified by the July 10 date in the commission's best-selling report. Rice added to the confusion yesterday by strongly suggesting that the meeting may never have occurred at all, even though administration officials had conceded for several days that it had."
Unfortunately, the Foley story (and Republican Congressional leadership covering it up) is more cut-and-dry, and harder to argue against, than the story of how the Bush administration was warned of imminent attacks by Al Qaeda, and their inaction in the face of those warnings. We'll probably hear more about Foley as a result.
