Ashcroft said the review – which he was not shown prior to 9-11 – recommends, 17 months before the attacks, "disrupting the al-Qaida network and terrorist presence here using immigration violations, minor criminal infractions and tougher visa and border controls."

Ashcroft said the "highly-classified" review "was not among the 30 items upon which my predecessor [Janet Reno] briefed me during the transition. It was not advocated as a disruption strategy to me during the [2001] summer threat period by the NSC staff which wrote the review more than a year earlier."

Now, I could easily make a few cynical comments about how, three years later, those recommendations don't make a difference anyway, at least with regard to border control and immigration violations.

But I won't.

Hey, I'm going to Switzerland for a week in mid August. I will be in Lucerne. Any suggestions for travel, within a few hours by train?
