That's a pretty good assessment. How in hell can anyone protect this country if the field personnel are unintelligent?

I was listening to the Fox news talkies, and they repeated the point that the FBI was NOT conducting the investigations.

SOMEONE told the president in an official report to him that there were 70 investigations going on when there were NONE taking place.

The President of the entire U S of A says, "I want a briefing on Bin Laden's ability to strike inside the US." (Which is a great initiative on his part that NO ONE is pointing out with the degree of gotcha that they used to besmirch him)

Some staff weenie someplace was asked the right question about the terrorist's activities inside the US: "Don't just tell me the problems; tell me what we're doing about these terrorist connections inside the US!" So they respond to their boss...with info that'll go inside a report to the President of the entire U S of A .... with either a CYOA lie or totally inaccurate info.

Who would have gathered that info? Could it possibly have been Richard Clarke...after all he was counter-terror central, wasn't he?

Someone, though, either GOT or GAVE "Grossly Wrong or Grossly Untruthful" info to the president.
