If the FBI had connected the dots before 9-11 and arrested the 19 terrorists before they had a chance to hijack the planes, the 19 would have all filed civil rights lawsuits by now. Jamie Gorelick would probably be one of the attorneys.
heh. Probly so.
Truth is, before 9-11 with the actual hijackers there were darn few dots to connect. None of them had done anything all that noteworthy, let alone illegal. The things that look like dots now are only so in hindsight.
