"As midnight and the new millennium neared, Mr. Freeh worked the FBI's strategic operations center. Mr. Sheehan ventured down to the celebration on the mall, keeping the promise he had made. Mr. Clarke and his White House team watched the festivities from a rooftop, lingering until midnight tolled in California."

Hhhhmmmmm......

The core strategy couldn't have been more basic: Overseas, the U.S. would ask the intelligence services of friendly countries from South America to Southeast Asia to do the dirty work of questioning people, arresting some on petty charges, denying them visas, deporting them.

So that was the core Clinton strategy, deny these people visas and deport them? Maybe send them into exile in Afghanistan. This is called the "dirty work"? I guess just going ahead and killing the terrorists who want to destroy America would have caused a wrinkle in the golden Clinton legacy. These idiots should have stuck to interns.

U.S. officials were blindsided by news from their own country. A U.S. customs agent, acting purely on a hunch, opened the trunk of a rented Chrysler at a sleepy border post north of Seattle. Inside he found a cache of circuit boards and highpowered explosives.

But Richard Clarke and the Clinton people say that they stopped the Millenium attacks by having meetings and "shaking the trees."!!!
