Totally irrelevant if the facts bulleted above are true. Tis the message that matters in this case, not the messenger, and I have no trouble believe our government is this inept. Do you? Look at the reports coming out about post-9/11 airport security. Success in exercises of taking guns and fake bombs through security checkpoints. Our government is broken. It is a self-feeding and self-crippling bloated bureaucracy which cares only about its own survival. This is sadly true of both major parties and every branch. Nearly seven months later, I still remain dumbfounded at what a joke our security must be to have allowed four airliners to have been hijacked within the space of an hour and then used to kill thousands of our fellow citizens.
