The most worrisome aspect of these revelations has to do with the credibility of the "Air Force One is next" message. It is described clearly as a threat, not a friendly warning — but if so, why would the terrorists send the message? More to the point, how did they get the code-word information and transponder know-how that established their mala fides?
That knowledge of code words and presidential whereabouts and possession of secret procedures indicates that the terrorists may have a mole in the White House — that, or informants in the Secret Service, F.B.I., F.A.A. or C.I.A. If so, the first thing our war on terror needs is an Angleton-type counterspy.

· Would a member of the intelligence committee have access to this type of information?
· If a person is a true sociopath, does it matter to them whether they kill one of one million?
· Would Ted Bundy have felt guiltier had he killed 10,000?
· Did Bill Clinton feel guilty for killing people when he ordered the bombing of an aspirin factory to distract from his political embarrassment?
If someone is a true psychopath/sociopath, numbers don’t matter. Their focus is exclusively on their own survival. Family members, co-workers, acquaintances, street-vendors, leaders, parents, children are all disposable fodder to the simplest desire.
I want a piece of candy, that kid has some candy, I will kill that kid and have his candy. Where is the problem. You had what I wanted.
I have a sexual desire and your have genitals. I will use your genitals for my desire and then kill you. What could be wrong with that.
That is the mentality of these demons and yet they appear like the rest of us on the outside. Ted Bundy was well accepted in the community before he was caught. So was John Wayne Gacy. Other than insatiable sexual perversions, they appeared to be the same as the rest of us.
One person did not cause the demolition of the World Trade Centers and the bombing of the Pentagon. But one person can make a significant difference. One person can provide that final piece of information that is necessary. One person can be blackmailed. One person can start a process. One person can give the go-ahead. One person can make a request.
To a psychopath, the only number that matters is Number One. Everyone else is disposable.
He got considerable exposure which he justly deserved.
I have received no replies.
BTW, does anyone know if Condidit is actually sitting in on House Intelligence Committee meetings since the attack?
If he is guilty, he deserves quite a bit more! ANy psychopath wallows in the attention as long as he beats the consequences.
Yesterdays news!
How can the press cover the lose of one intern when entire institutions (i.e. my clients parent company) have vaporized?
Thanks! It is good to know the adults are fnially in charge.
It would have been the intelligence briefings for months leading up to this attack which would have been my concern.
Chandra was a 'journalist'..........I'm sure she and her REAL friends would be using all resources NOW AVAILIBLE to write a 'Pulitzer'.
IMHO
I can remember frequent posts on this forum asking, "What are 'they' trying to distract us from?"
Maybe we had the wrong 'they' in mind.
After this heinous act, I hope to heck congress decides to start doing some background checks on the people on all Intelligence Committees.
Remember something Ted Kennedy did?
I am not very knowledgeable about Sikhs, but some articles are interesting...
