Dean on Meet the Press: Osama had nothing to do with 9/11
2005-05-22
This excerpt flagged by the Brothers Judd; full transcript available here. Tim Russert was pressing Gov. Dean on why he was so famously willing to extend the presumption of innocence to Osama bin Laden, and not to Rep. Tom DeLay, when Dean uttered this gem of a statement:

Dr. Dean: [T]he thing that really bothered me the most, which the 9-11 Commission said also wasn't true, is the insinuation that the president continues to make to this day that Osama bin Laden had something to do with supporting terrorists that attacked the United States. That is false. The 9-11 Commission, chaired by a Republican, said it was false. Is it wrong to send people to war without telling them the truth.

To borrow a line from James Lileks: SWEET SMOKING JESUS, WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THIS GUY? Does Dean really believe that Osama wasn't behind 9/11? That the 9/11 Commission report cleared him? That the airplanes were flown by remote control, and there was no Boeing at the Pentagon, and 4,00 Jews were told not to go to work that day, and so on? Is that now the official position of the DNC?

The DNC's e-mail contact form is here. If you choose to tell them what you think, remember to be civil and polite--but don't pull your punches, either.
