9/11 Commission Report Redux

Many months after the official September 11th Commission Report was released, and after the Presidential election is over, and after Condi Rice is confirmed as the new Secretary of State, a report that the administration fought to keep out of the public has been made available to the public. Well a heavily redacted version at least.

Classified 9/11 Report Exposes Multiple Attack Warnings
"In the months before the Sept. 11 attacks, federal aviation officials reviewed dozens of intelligence reports that warned about Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, some of which specifically discussed airline hijackings and suicide operations, according to a previously undisclosed report from the 9/11 commission."
Dozens, being 52 to be exact. 52 warnings from April 2001 to September 10th 2001.
"The Bush administration has blocked the public release of the full, classified version of the report for more than five months, officials said..."
Why? If the administration has no fault, as I have already heard from some Republican mouthpieces, then why have they fought to keep this from the public? Ask yourself that question, and then ask yourself if you really trust this administration.
