Richard Benveniste quotes

Richard Benveniste
" But as I said to Dr. Rice following her testimony, and I think she appreciated it, we had our job to do and we did it best we could, trying to get answers to the important questions that the 9/11 Commission must answer. "

Richard Benveniste
" Hopefully, we will provide answers, at least by statements from those who were responsible at the time, for why our country could not connect the dots, did not operate as our system is designed to operation. And that will inform the suggestions that we make for making our system better. "

Richard Benveniste
" It was not easy to get all my questions answered, frankly. "

Richard Benveniste
" No connection between Iraq and the 9/11 catastrophe. "

Richard Benveniste
" Only the last two planes, I think, had any shot of being intercepted and taken down on 9/11. "

Richard Benveniste
" Our mandate expects that we will build on the Joint Inquiry's investigation and we will not be re-inventing the wheel. But we go to places which the Joint Inquiry was not permitted to explore. "

Richard Benveniste
" So we knew their intentions were to strike in the United States. We also knew from other sources of dozens of examples of where the notion of using planes as weapons was discussed. "

Richard Benveniste
" The question is whether the plumbing is so ossified, whether, you know, we've got to pour some giant can of Drano into the mechanics of how this system works, or whether we've got to start all over and build something new. "

Richard Benveniste
" The real question was, here we had this information, Bin Laden intends to strike in the United States. We knew they had struck before in 1993 at the World Trade Center in the first bombing of the trade center. "

Richard Benveniste
" We have quite a bit to do here in our Commission without going into all my private practice. I certainly wouldn't want this to be an infomercial for Richard Ben-Veniste as a private attorney. "

Richard Benveniste
" We've got a daunting enough task to provide a definitive account of what happened in 9/11, without fear or favor, something that will last and will survive criticism over time. And we think we can do that with integrity in a bipartisan report. "

Richard Benveniste
" We've had public hearings. We've had interim reports, which our statute has encouraged us to provide to the public. We have brought the public along with us, trying to make as much available as possible over time. "

Richard Benveniste
" Well, changes have been made. The question is whether we've done enough by way of change. "

Richard Benveniste
" Well, our concern has to do with the period prior to 9/11, up to and including the catastrophe that occurred. And thank goodness, we're not obliged to make assessments of what's going on now and deal with these current events. "
