Looks like more media spin to try to put this on the Bush Administration FBI and CIA.

Bush has to deal with.....Reno holdovers.

They all should be made to be sworn in again, and retake the oath.

It was NOT an agency, but an individual. Who? Mole? X42 holdover? Both?

Media spin? Where? This article proports to be a legit news story -- based on facts, not propaganda. If the story is true, it isn't spin to say that, had Ashcroft and his FBI acted with due diligence, they might have prevented what happened on 9/11.

This was a plot waiting to be uncovered. There was clue after clue, and all of them were ignored. And they came on Bush's watch, not Clinton's.

Now maybe Bush-supporters don't want to know certain things, but to categorize facts as spin is to intentionally delude oneself.

But then, maybe that's the idea.

But there is still no consensus on the matter. “The bottom line is that nobody in the intelligence community has been able to figure out what this guy was up to,” said one official.

Helps if you read the article. So you open up the hard drive then call Miss Cleo to find out what it all means. Get real.

No they all should be fired and replaced. General house cleanings are good for the soul. Especially when the house is full of Rats.

If the hard drive had been looked at, investigators might have suspected a plot involving crop dusters. There was no hit of the 9/11 hijackings.

Are you actually serious about trying to blame this on Bush? You have to be one loony nut-case to do that.

Bubba and the Slickette were the Mr. and Mrs. of "cultural diversity" and such BS, don't you recall? The Clintons were so set on making the CIA a "politically correct" organization, they forget about the task at hand. So much effort was spent on sensitivity training, it is no wonder they became inept.

Maybe as people see the danger of following Clintonesque thinking (resulting in leaving us wide open for attack) we can finally start to put that kind of feel-good, "I feel your pain" hypocritical crap behind us and once more become real Americans- (with no hyphens needed, thank you). At least I hope so.

Correct me if I am wrong but the US Attorney makes these kinds of decisions. When the Clintons came to power they fired ALL the US Atty's and installed their own.

We need the names of those who turned down the request and who appointed them.

Er.............DUH! Hildy....MOST of those cowards who used terrorism to kill so many here ENTERED ONTO AMERICAN SOIL during clinton's reign of terror..............the PILOT training in Florida and the confabs in Jersy were all done in preceeding years HILDY, baby. And it was CLINTON and Sen Toricelli that tore apart our CIA and ordered them to concentrate on GLOBAL WARMING and to drop the intelligence BS. Read about the sensitivity training thread the clinton goobers forced upon our CIA and FBI, Hildy. And then review WACO and African aspirin factory bombings for a glimpse at clintonian warfare.

Jean have you seen this?--

Catastrophic Intelligence Failure - Clinton's Bin Laden GATE

It's one of those incredible background papers from AIM and I think is necessary for any evaluation of how we got to 9/11.

The FIB's & CIA are at fault. Since 1983, terrorists have been sticking it to us again & again. They have failed the citizens of the US miserably.
