White House Hid Info On Key Meeting From 9-11 Commission?
"A mixture of shock, anger, and sadness overcame me when I read ... about a special surprise visit that George Tenet and his counterterrorism chief Cofer Black made to Condi Rice ... on July 10, 2001 ... They went over top-secret intelligence pointing to an impending attack and 'sounded the loudest warning' to the White House of a likely attack on the U.S. ... it is shocking that the administration failed to heed such an overwhelming alert from the two officials in the best position to know ... The Commission interviewed Condoleezza Rice ... George Tenet ... and Cofer Black ... privately and publicly. All of them were obligated to tell the truth. Apparently, none of them described this meeting, the purpose of which clearly was central to the Commission’s investigation. Moreover, document requests to both the White House and to the CIA should have revealed the fact that this meeting took place ... Was it covered up? It is hard to come to a different conclusion."
