BUZZFLASH SPECIAL GUEST COMMENTARY
by Sidney Blumenthal, author of "The Clinton Wars"

This week, BuzzFlash.com, is pleased to post two excerpts of Sidney Blumenthal's 822-page book on "The Clinton Wars." The first excerpt can be found here: [LINK].

With permission of the author and his publisher (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux), the second section we are reproducing (beginning on page 795 of the book) finds Blumenthal reflecting on Bush's White House stature before and after 9/11. It includes information on how the Bush team was fully briefed by Clinton staffers about the imminent threat posed by terrorism. Blumenthal reveals shockingly how the Bush national security team ignored an explicit warning about al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden before 9/11 from within the National Security Council itself -- and how the official who gave them that red alert was isolated as a result.

Blumenthal's book is available from BuzzFlash.com [LINK]
