More what did they know ...?

Manifesto

As Monocle asks below, why does it seem that only Republicans are asked this question?
A review of White House records has determined that George J. Tenet, then the director of central intelligence, did indeed brief Condoleezza Rice and other top officials on July 10, 2001 about looming threat from Al Qaeda, a State Department spokesman said on Monday evening.

[...]

Ms. Rice said she had no specific recollection of meeting with Mr. Tenet and Mr. Black on July 10, 2001. Members of the commission that investigated the attacks of Sept. 11 and the events leading up to them have said they were never told of a special White House meeting held on that date, and have questioned in recent days whether information about such a meeting may have been intentionally withheld from the panel.
Now I wonder why this account didn't appear in the 9/11 Commission Report. When was that report conducted and ultimately made public? Anyone, anyone? July 22, 2004. Draw your own conclusions. Although Josh Marshall notes that the information seems to have been told directly to Richard Ben Veniste and executive director Philip Zelikow. Veniste was one of the Democratic Commissioners.
