I believe that this is criticism of Condoleeza Rice, and George Tenet. They should have known, and probably did. Of course there is the possibility that they are stupid or incompetent. Of the two choices, I would vote for the last. They should have both lost their jobs, if only because someone has to. It is the same way with football coaches, if they cannot get the job done.........without excuses, they are in the wrong business.

so Rice should have ordered all US airliners grounded the first day she took office, is that it?
