The RATs are already showing that TV clip of Condi saying that before 9/11 no one would have imagined terrorists would use four 747's (or whatever the size plane), to slam into the World Trade Center, etc. Their point is that she or the CIA had already been given a heads up about the possible use of planes as flying bombs. The RATs on the committee will throw that at her six ways to Texas, implying that she either was A. incompetent, or B. lying and covering up Bush incompetence. And CBS, et. al. will replay those smarmy questions at length, ad nauseum, and then not replay her answers. They want nothing less than to drive Condi from public life.

Rising gas prices and the Saudi's forcing Opec to cut production today despite Bush admin. behind the scenes pressure give Kerry another whack at Bush. You can bet the committee will have the Saudis and oil dependence on the list of talking points next week.

By the way, we should level Fallujah.

Clarke has testified that this use of planes thing was a topic during the 1996 olympics. Yet nothing was done to advance airline safety from 96-2000, the flight schools weren't checked (who did Clarke think would be flying these suicide planes?). how "urgent" could it have been?

could anyone have "imagined" terrorists could plant bombs on trains and detonate them via cell phone? sure, its not too far fetched, we could "imagine" alot of things. is the Spanish government guilty of murder because they could not find some way to stop this?
