If we stand back ... take a deep breathe ....and absorb how the FBI, CIA, and other policing authorities moved with stealth tactics, and with a script that is/was in hard copy and immediatley avaiable, to track all this suspects down, it suggests these same authorities, who are being hammered by the media for "Not Doing Their Jobs" ... makes one strongly suspect that these "Cells" have been known about for years.
Which also makes one ask "Who up the ladder" in the Clinton administration ..... shuttled these same agencies off to Buffalo, silence them, and stop them from formally investigating the plot ... and activities ... as now we know they had intended to activate.
Silence is golden ....but at the cost of 6,000 people is not a golden way to leave natural life.

The same notion has occurred to me. During the Clinton years, the political appointees in charge of the FBI and other agencies did not want to hear about security threats from Islamic radicals (or from Cuba, North Korea, et cetera). What they rewarded the underlings for was exposes of white supremacists, militias, and other "right-wing extremists". Those agents who wished to advance their careers would work on the latter and not the former. As virtually everyone now understands, the security threat from American right-wing extremists is basically nonexistent, while the threat from Middle Eastern Islamic terrorists is quite real.
One can only hope that Bill Clinton and his gaggle of stuck-in-the-sixties leftists will get the full credit they deserve, but don't hold your breath. Notice that this story appears in the British press, not the American. The American media are still upholding their tradition of Clinton worship. For example, the New Yorker piece by Joe Klein that Sullivan cites here completely whitewashes the Clinton Administration's responsibility for the deaths of the 18 U.S. Army Rangers in Somalia in 1993. Klein allows anonymous Clinton operatives to blame Colin Powell, while never mentioning how the Clintonoids ignored Army requests for sufficient weaponry to carry out their mission.
