Makes you wonder if the French really cancelled the flight in error. They are our enemies in the terror war.

As part of the search for the one suspect, French officials today carried out two raids today near the city of Lyon and in a small town north of Paris, based in part on U.S. intelligence information.

Which connects this story to...

French intentionally screwed it up. Then tried to embarass Bush making it seem there was just a kid with the same name as the terrorists.

Then the French newspapers railed that it was a US conspiracy versus France.

People are assuming that this happened by accident. I'm betting that it's a French accident-on-purpose. I bet the Frenchies are real sorry that their boy didn't get through.

Are my views outrageous? Seeing how they were supporting Saddam and his WMD programs, I wouldn't put anything past those French skunks.

No, we screwed up. Classified information like the identity of a bomber should be "NO FORN" so it can't be shared with foreign intell. The CIA should've just waited at the airport in Paris and taken him down.
