Recently in a Radio interview, Richard Clarke the ex- counter terrorism Czar of the White House claimed George Tenet deliberately kept information about two attackers from him and White House and then covered it up, to be investigated in the formed commission. I have only posted partial article, please read the reminder at the link given below.

Not surprisingly the media did not report this allegation from Richard Clarke.


With few exceptions, like some salacious rumor about the Kennedy family, the mainstream U.S. news media has shown little interest in stories that throw light on history -- even recent, very relevant history. So it comes as no surprise that, when a former White House counter-terrorism czar accuses an ex-CIA director of sitting on information that could have prevented a 9/11 attack, the story gets neither ink nor air.
Bulletin for those of you who get your information only from the New York Times, theWashington Post and other outlets of the Fawning Corporate Media (FCM): Former White House director for counterterrorism Richard Clarke has accused former CIA Director George Tenet of denying him and others access to intelligence that could have thwarted the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11.
Deliberately withholding critical intelligence from those who need it, and can act on it, is -- at the least -- gross dereliction of duty. The more so if keeping the White House promptly and fully informed is at the top of your job jar, as it was for Director of Central Intelligence Tenet. And yet that is precisely the charge Clarke has leveled at the former DCI.
In an interview aired on Aug. 11 on a local PBS affiliate in Colorado, Clarke charges that Tenet and two other senior CIA officials, Cofer Black and Richard Blee, deliberately withheld information about two of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77 -- al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar. The two had entered the United States more than a year before the 9/11 attacks.
Clarke adds that the CIA then covered it all up by keeping relevant information away from Congress and the 9/11 Commission.
Lying by senior officials is bad enough, and there is now plenty of evidence that former CIA Director George Tenet and his closest agency associates are serial offenders. Think for a minute about the falsehoods spread regarding Iraq's non-existent "weapons of mass destruction" stockpiles.
But withholding intelligence on two of the 9/11 hijackers would have been particularly unconscionable -- the epitome of malfeasance, not just misfeasance. That's why Richard Clarke's conclusion that he should have received information from CIA about al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar, "unless somebody intervened to stop the normal automatic distribution" amounts, in my view, to a criminal charge, given the eventual role of the two in the hijacking on 9/11 of AA-77, the plane that struck the Pentagon.

It seems from above exerts that there are two laws, law for poor and law for rich. had a poor man lied he would have been punished but those in power it seem can get away with lies.

Its not just that.... any corporation, institute, news or person ... if its pro Zoin then it will be defended through out USA ... all the agencies or media will not even get and sniff of it ... and this circle works otherwise if its anti Zoin agenda or plan.... biggest example if they can cover up an event like 9/11 then just imagine where law stands and where Zionist lobby.
