Mostly I'm sick of these people saying that they had no reason to know or expect any kind of attack.
Jim Traficant may be a nut, but he's a nut that warned congress again and again.
DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN ON U.S. BORDERS
July 20, 2000
Mr. Speaker, a study finally admits, and I quote, `America's borders are so wide open, terrorists could easily smuggle a nuclear bomb across both our borders.' Think about it, 3 million illegal immigrants, heroin and cocaine by the tons, and now a report that further says it is so bad in some areas orange cones are used like scarecrows with no border patrol presence at all.
Unbelievable. We have soldiers vaccinating dogs in Haiti, while terrorists can bring nukes across our border. Beam me up here. Who master-minded this policy? The Proctologist Association of North America?
Mr. Speaker, I yield back a disaster waiting to happen on the borders of the United States of America with a Congress sleeping at the switch.
if you dig around a little bit you might be suprised at how many times he warned of impending disaster at the hands of terrorists. http://www.traficant.com/1997speecharchive.htm#heading
