Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Saudi Arabia and Beirut; Lesson Learned on Intelligence and Counterterrorism Programs: Hearing Before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, on Tuesday, July 9, 1995 The Select Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 11:10 a.m., in room SH-216, Hart Senate Office Building, the Honorable Arlen Specter (Chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Specter, DeWine and Kerrey of Nebraska. Also present: Charles Battaglia, Staff Director; Chris Straub, Minority Staff Director; Suzanne Spaulding, Chief Counsel; and Kathleen McGhee, Chief Clerk. Chairman Specter. The Intelligence Committee will noy proceed. Senator Kerrey has a commitment, so I will yield to him for his opening statement at the outset. Vice Chairman Kerrey. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman and the witnesses. My commitment requires me to go for about 5 minutes and I will be back, and I look forward to hearing your testimony. These hearings are, Mr. Chairman, I believe a very appropriate and important response to the bombing in Dhahran, and it is always appropriate for this committee to look into intelligence support to our deployed military forces. Much has been made of the defensive preparations undertaken by Air Force commanders in Dhahran, but those defensive decisions are understandable only in the context of the intelligence available to those commanders at the time. The safety of our troops today, and our ability to go on the offensive against the people who did this, are similarly dependent on intelligence. So our committee has a significant role in the investigation of this bombing and in the correction of the intelligence deficiencies that may be uncovered. As we proceed, I have several concerns. But first, I want to avoid a rush to judge or condemn without all the facts. I noted, for example, a story in Sundays New York Times that has been repeated, that was repeated twice as I watched it on this mornings news, that asserted that CIA misjudged, the bomb-making capabilities of militants in Saudi Arabia, concluding that they could not build a bomb larger than two hundred pounds. I, as you as well, Mr. Chairman, have checked with the CIA and they know of no basis for this assertion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
