[history]
In one of those little-known events that often alter history, a federal judge's chastisement of the FBI's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) unit, which oversees and approves applications for wiretaps and searches, may have inadvertently prevented uncovering the plot that led to the September 11, 2001, attacks.

As has so often been documented here on FR the whole Clinton administration was such a complete and dismal failure.
The 3000 in WTC and Pentagon died because of political correctness running wild.

Yep, Manneta (what ever his name is) was bragging that race would not be a factor in screening passengers, could not upset the radical Muslims, you know.

PING!
More to the Gorelick/Wall files - although her name isn't mentioned the tracks are there to be seen and followed.

The FBI headquarters' refusal to approve the applications for examination of Moussaoui's computer was a normal response to Mr. Freeh's reaction to the criticism from Judge Lamberth and the rest of the FISC and from Miss Reno, according to those close to the situation. Mr. Freeh had a volatile reputation and he overreacted, one source said. Under the circumstances, the new bureau supervisor was particularly cautious. Not sure that the judge is the responsible party here. Looks as if he were doing his job and the Clinton appointees didn't like it. As usual, they must place the blame elsewhere.

I think Judge Lambert was involved in some key rulings back in 1998, during the investigations into some of the Clinton scandals. If I remember correctly, he was one of the better judges. It might be interesting to know more about Resnick.
