I wish they were faster with getting transcripts up on these hearings. One would think that it would take a few hours at most to do this.

I agree with your assessment. New Yorkers should be on their knees thanking the emergency personnel of 9/11 for all the lives that WERE saved, not second-guessing them. From what I saw of the disaster, the only person who could have saved more people from that conflagration than the police and firemen of New York did would have been Superman.

The hearings are getting to be a circus.

I couldn't believe they were grilling Guliani on the famous August memo. Did they really think the Mayor of New York was on the bloody circulation list for this classified document?

I heard this on the radio (no transcript, dammit), but the questioner (I think it was Roemer) said about the memo (paraphrasing) that it "mentioned New York. It mentioned the WTC. It mentioned hijacking."

In other words the same old canards about this memo that completely overlook the fact that in the memo these subjects are completely separate. Some memes seem to be unkillable.
