US Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers is a 9/11 insider
While mainstream noise predictably swirls around the most unimportant aspects of the Harriet Miers US Supreme Court nomination, Editor & Publisher and others reveal that Miers briefed George W. Bush on the infamous "Bin Laden determined to strike United States" memo, and other 9/11-related matters, prior to September 11, 2001.
Read the Editor & Publisher article: Miers Briefed Bush on Bin Laden PDB, But Papers Handle Photo From That Day Quite Differently.
It is clear that the appointments of both John Roberts and Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court are very specific. They are not simply Bush confidants. They are not "mysterious" political players, nor, in Miers' case, "poorly qualified." They are enduring facilitators and cover agents for the most onerous Bush/Republican crimes of the modern era—very qualified and perfect choices for this Empire.
Roberts' involvement with Iran-Contra, and recent war crimes and torture, are well documented. Miers' role in 9/11, then, is no surprise whatsoever.

Miers Briefed Bush on Bin Laden PDB, But Papers Handle Photo From That Day Quite Differently
By E&P Staff

NEW YORK On its front page Tuesday, The New York Times published a photo of new U.S. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers going over a briefing paper with President George W. Bush at his Crawford ranch “in August 2001,” the caption reads.
USA Today and the Boston Globe carried the photo labeled simply “2001,” but many other newspapers ran the picture in print or on the Web with a more precise date: Aug. 6, 2001.
Does that date sound familiar? Indeed, that was the date, a little over a month before 9/11, that President Bush was briefed on the now-famous “PDB” that declared that Osama Bin Laden was “determined” to attack the U.S. homeland, perhaps with hijacked planes. But does that mean that Miers had anything to do with that briefing?
As it turns out, yes, according to Tuesday's Los Angeles Times. An article by Richard A. Serrano and Scott Gold observes that early in the Bush presidency “Miers assumed such an insider role that in 2001 it was she who handed Bush the crucial 'presidential daily briefing' hinting at terrorist plots against America just a month before the Sept. 11 attacks.”
So the Aug. 6 photo may show this historic moment, though quite possibly not. In any case, some newspapers failed to include the exact date with the widely used Miers photo today. A New York Times spokesman told E&P: "The wording of the caption occurred in the course of routine editing and has no broader significance."
The photo that ran in so many papers and on their Web sites originally came from the White House but was moved by the Associated Press, clearly marked as an “Aug. 6, 2001” file photo. It shows Miers with a document or documents in her right hand, as her left hand points to something in another paper balanced on the president's right leg. Two others in the background are Deputy Chief of Staff Joe Hagin and Steve Biegun of the national security staff.
The PDB was headed “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.,” and notes, among other things, FBI information indicating “patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks.”
