FAHRENHEIT 9/11 -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
|
against a man who died ...
the month before the election.
The voters preferred the dead guy.
So George W. Bush made him his attorney general. He was sworn in on a stack of Bibles. Because when you can't beat a dead guy, you need all the help you can get.
During the summer before 9/11 Ashcroft told acting FBI director, Thomas Pickard, that he didn't want to hear anything more about terrorist threats.
Senator: Mr. Watson had come to you and said that the CIA was very concerned that there would be an attack. You said that you told the attorney general this fact repeatedly in these meetings. Is that correct?
Thomas Pickard, Acting FBI Director, Summer 2001: I've told him at least on two occasions.
Senator: And you told the staff, according to this statement, that Mr. Ashcroft told you that he did not want to hear about this anymore. Is that correct?
