****FLIP-FLOP ALERT****
Dateline: Washington DC
Dumbya Flip-Flops on Declassification of Daily Briefing
The Dumbya administration bowed to the only kind of pressure that works on it, political, and declassified the August 6, 2001 daily briefing Dumbya received that has been the center of controversy over what Dumbya knew and when he knew it.
Lickin Bush in '04 political commentator Pillsbury reports:
"What is interesting about this flip-flop is its brazen nature. At first blush, it would appear that national security takes a back seat to politics. However, a closer look indicates that perhaps this assessment is wrong and a more damning one is available. According to the fact sheet given by the White House along with the released daily brief, the brief only "advised the President of what was publicly well-known: that bin Laden had a desire to attack inside the United States."
This raises two questions: One, if the brief only advised the President on what was publicly well-known, then why keep it secret; and two, why was the President being briefed on what was publicly well-known?"
Pillsbury also noted that the current flip-flop was nothing out of the ordinary for this administration.
