Whoa, that Levin article connects a bunch of dots.

The 1999 millennium bomber after action report not only says Clinton ignored the al Quada warnings and did nothing, it points to Gorelick's wall of separation as the cause of our inability to stop the 9/11 attack.

So that's why it was so important to rewrite.

Exactly! That makes me more sure than anything that the specific documents missing were taken deliberately in the hopes that highly classified documents like that wouldn't have too many copies floating around.

The NSC's Millennium After Action Review declares that the United States barely missed major terrorist attacks in 1999 - with luck playing a major role.Among the many vulnerabilities in homeland defenses identified, the Justice Department's surveillance and FISA operations were specifically criticized for their glaring weaknesses.It is clear from the review that actions taken in the Millennium Period should not be the operating model for the U.S. government.

In March 2000, the review warns the prior Administration of a substantial al Qaeda network and affiliated foreign terrorist presence within the U.S., capable of supporting additional terrorist attacks here.
