There is another possible explanation for clinton's "benign neglect" of the intelligence community. I put it like this on another thread when I was in a particularly dark mood:

Clinton - who wanted to nationalize everything and everybody - knew what the Taliban and all the other terrorist organizations were up to. But he could not turn America into Amerika during his administration, because people expected such things of him [Health Care, etc.] and would have opposed him. So he planted seeds and waited.

Clinton and his Dept. of State nurtured the terrorists states - Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine, Libya - keeping them alive until Bush (or Gore) was president. These seeds that clinton watered during his administration finally bore fruit on September 11th, 2001.

The American people trust Bush, and "know" that he is not like clinton and would never turn America into a police state. But that is exactly what he is in the process of doing. Only Nixon could go to China. Only Bush could turn America into Amerika.

The Taliban won, and clinton won.
