markslp.bsky.social @markslp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026As a kid, I used whitewash (a mix of chalk and water) to paint our fence. It’s often said that less is more, with whitewash more is more. So you slopped on as much as you could. And from a distance the fence doesn’t look too bad. But on even modest inspection you can still see what’s beneath. 000
markslp.bsky.social @markslp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026They ignored Richard Clark and demoted him. They ignored information provided in July and August. In the aftermath, they ignored evidence of Saudi government involvement. Instead, they played nice with the Saudis (oil) literally holding hands and prancing through the desert. 111
markslp.bsky.social @markslp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Condeleeza Rice from today: Those of us in authority on that day did not see the nature of the danger in time to prevent the attack of 9/11. We did what we knew to do, but by definition, it was not enough. This is a complete whitewash of the Bush administration’s failures in the lead up to 9-11. 110
