The disclosure appears to contradict the White House's repeated assertions that the briefing the president received about the Qaeda threat was "historical" in nature and that the White House had little reason to suspect a Qaeda attack within American borders.
  • The attacks were probably unpreventable, but it would be helpful if the Bush administration would tell the truth about what it knew, and when.

  • Washington Post: The Bush Money Machine: Building War Chest With Few Restraints. As Bush "Pioneers" who had raised at least $100,000 each for the president's reelection campaign, or "Rangers" who had raised $200,000 each, the men and women who shot skeet with Cheney, played golf with pros Ben Crenshaw and Fuzzy Zoeller and laughed at the jokes of comedian Dennis Miller are the heart of the most successful political money operation in the nation's history. Since 1998, Bush has raised a record $296.3 million in campaign funds, giving him an overwhelming advantage in running against Vice President Al Gore and now Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). At least a third of the total -- many sources believe more than half -- was raised by 631 people.
  • It's actually a tiny amount of money when you consider the return on investment -- notably the hundreds of billions in tax breaks for the wealthiest Americas while moving the tax burden to those who actually work for a living, not to mention the undermining of environmental and worker-safety programs.

    Astroturf journalism at the White House


    Astroturf journalism at the White House 02/05/2005 10:19 PM
    President Bush has relied on a ringer in recent press conferences: This guy named Jeff Gannon from a right-wing news site called "Talon News" spouts the GOP party line and lobs softball questions at the prez that repeat his own press releases. Metafilter and Salon's War Room have more.

    This is the dark side of the "now everyone's a journalist" blogosphere meme, a concept that for the most part I think is positive. But once anyone can set up as a journalist, public figures can summon astroturf reporters to do their bidding, and officials can "paper the house" with sympathizers the way theater producers have always done on opening night. (This reminds me of what happened in movie criticism in the '80s and '90s, as a variety of bozos went into the business of providing movie "reviews" to borderline media outlets with the sole purpose of giving the movie marketers a bottomless well of positive quotes.)

    The only answer, I suppose, is to say to the White House press office, hey, if your bloggers and guys-with-Web-sites get to ask questions at press conferences, the other side's should, too. Get Kos and Atrios and Tom Tomorrow in there! Mix it up! (No way, I know.)

    A leash to shake the White House ?


    A leash to shake the White House ? 05/06/2004 01:03 PM
    "Pull out, pull out", she cried, "Before it's too late!" - Sex sells. Amidst the ongoing PR conflagration - as newly released imagery of the psychosexual humiliation, by US guards at Abu Ghraib, of imprisoned Iraqis (a naked Iraqi man on a leash held by a female American soldier, notably) provokes widespread outrage (and the Red Cross says things are much worse than those pictures show), the BBC reports on informed speculation that the perfect storm of a growing insurgency, political reversals, and a PR debacle will lead to a hasty coalition pullout from Iraq. A frustrated and tense &quot;Machine Gun Cheney&quot; achieves release, via his wheelbarrel load of 30 guns (including a Thompson), blasting away at a Secret Service gun range. His aim, they say, is very good. But will Cheney bite the bullet and level with the American public about what it will now take for the US to prevail in Iraq ?

    06/24/2004 02:51 PM
    The Associated Press wonders why it had to resort to filing suits against the Pentagon and Air Force in order to obtain President Bush's military service records, especially since the White House says they've already turned them over.
    AP General Counsel Dave Tomlin, told E&P [Editor & Publisher] the lawsuit is needed to get access to a portion of Bush's record that may offer more information than the paper files previously released. "The paper file may not be everything," he said. "It has been there a long while, it could conceivably be tampered with." Because the microfilm record has been in storage and "it can't be altered, that access to the microfilm would settle the matter," Tomlin added.

    Telrad and the Hacking of the White
    House


    Telrad and the Hacking of the White
    House
    09/02/2004 12:20 PM

    Is raeli spies tapped Clinton e-mail: This is a very old story (and a reprint of a dead link at a British newspaper), but one that the spy junkie in me just finds fascinating.

    Apparently, in the late nineties, Israel had — get this — a direct connection into the email of the President of the United States. They could essentially read Clinton's emails (oh, wait — he didn't send any...)

    Sources in Israel say intelligence agents infiltrated Telrad, a company that had been subcontracted by Nortel, America's largest telecommunications conglomerate, to help develop a communications system for the White House.

    Company managers were said to have been unaware that virtually undetectable chips installed during manufacture made it possible for outside agents to tap into the flow of data from the White House.

    Information being sent from the president to his senior staff in the National Security Council and outside government departments could be copied into a secret Israeli computer in Washington, the sources said. It was transferred to Tel Aviv two or three times a week.

    Does anyone know how this all ended up? The sheer brazeness of something like this just kills me. I mean, that takes guts — installing a hardware backdoor into the White House communications system.

    And talk about removing the sysadmins from the equation. If your hardware vendor has installed a backdoor at the physical, hardware level, what are you supposed to do? How can you defend against that?

    Related to that, I'm curious as to how the data got out of the network — it had to be transmitted somehow, and could it have been detected leaving the network?
