I am sick and tired of these "gotcha" stories, even if this one did happen on Clinton's watch. Whoope-dee-doo. We know in hindsight that all the stories having to do with airplanes and buildings were true. All the stories about putting poison in the drinking water were BS. So were all the stories about blowing up bridges during rush hour. That's the best part about hindsight: it's always right.
Are reporters this stupid, or do they think think the rest of us are this stupid? No matter what happens, there's always some Cassandra out there who "warned" about it. Just like they "warned" about 500 other things, 500 of which never happened. "See that? This heroic whistleblower here wrote a memo two years ago warning that there would be a forest fire in California. But nobody listened!"
Spare me.

"Are reporters this stupid, or do they think think the rest of us are this stupid?" I'll take door #2.

Sigh, another story about the clueless Americans.

The problem today, and one that politicians and the tin foil hat group ignore, is not gathering intel. If you don't hamstring yourself you can find out most anything. The real problem is that there is so much of it, it becomes ALMOST impossible to sort out the wheat from the chaff. I would love to gather the group that thinks 9/11 could have been prevented, give them a years worth of info and see what they could tell us about the future.
