Check out this Huffpo post by Robert Scheer. [1] He is right to warn that we shouldn’t allow ourselves to be distracted with sex scandals when there are much more important issues deserving of our attention:
The news about the Foley coverup, while important as yet another example of extreme hypocrisy on the part of the Republican virtues police, should not be allowed to obscure the latest evidence of administration deceit as to its egregious ineptness in protecting the nation.
On Monday, a State Department spokesman conceded that then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice had indeed been briefed in July 2001 by George Tenet, then-director of the CIA, about the alarming potential for an Al Qaeda attack, as Bob Woodward has reported in his aptly named new book, “State of Denial.”
Gee, I don’t remember Rice talking about that meeting during her testimony before the 9/11 Commission . . . Must have been an oversight. Too bad the media is not focusing on this critical story.
