It's on tape Mr. President

This is gonna be everywhere soon, but the AP has got its hands on six days of videotape of the Katrina preparations in which Bush and Chertoff were warned in detail about exactly what might/did happen when Katrina came ashore.

And it's on video tape. I guess somebody could have anticipated the levees being breached after all, eh, Mr. President?

  • acording to people that were there, Bush never asked a single question.

  • Hi Mike
    Here's the portion of the transcript from Friday's Libby hearing about the 250 emails sent to me by the court reporter. This is Libby's attorney, Ted Wells, speaking to US District Court Judge Reggie Walton:

    "I may say we are also told that there are an additional approximately 250 pages of documents that are emails from the office of the vice president. Your Honor, may recall that in earlier filings it was represented or alluded to that certain e-mails had not been preserved in the White House. That turns out not to be true. There were some e-mails that weren't archived in the normal process but the office of the vice president or the office of administration I guess it is has been able to recover those e-mails. Gave those to special counsel I think only on February 6 and those again are going to be produced to us. We don't know what's in there. We've been led to believe it's probably not anything startling in those e-mails but again we need to review those and that also may be the subject of a motion."

  • One more.

    Yet, there is no obvious uproar by the citizens over lie after lie.

    When will 'it' finally catch on?

  • it will finally catch on when we can't watch the new episodes of American Idol.

  • Most of America has woken/is waking up to all this, but what happens to the 30%?

    Is there anything that Bush could do to lose them?

  • Jason, what am I not seeing in this inclusion into your article? I don't see anything too startling there.

    Except maybe that those emails were both kept out of the archiving process and out of the Gonzales request.

    Is that it? that they were completely removed from the system and then hidden from Gonzales only to be produced when Fitzgerald indicated he knew about them?

    Hard coverup?

    Or did you just send this to me to let me know about the addition to the article?

    I'm not sure.

    Mike
