Notes From Rumsfeld Meeting on 9/11

2:40 P.M - Notes Taken By DoD staffer Stephen Cambone in meetings with Donald Rumsfeld

"Best info fast ... judge whether good enough hit S.H. @ at same time - not only UBL."

"Hard to get a good case"

"- Near term target needs --
- go massive - sweep it all up
- Things related + not"

The documents were FOIA'd by... a blogger. Some of this information, like the SH [Saddam Hussein] & UBL [Usama Bin Laden] quotes, found its way into the 9/11 Commission Report and Bob Woodward's book. Some of them, like "sweep it up - things related + not" only saw the light of day in a little seen CBS news piece in November of 2002. Either way, it's pretty clear the adminstration's plans to attack Iraq were underway on 9/11, and they weren't going to let facts get in the way... a common theme over the past 5 1/2 years.

The blogger has posted the full compliment of notes totaling four different pages in .pdf form and on his flickr account. Here is the a letter to Mr. Anderson from the Department of Defense.
