Interesting. The plot thickens.

I am curious to know if there were any federal employees in the WTC's on 9/11.

Sounds like a plot to a good movie.

But United States intelligence officials stress that there is no evidence that the hijackers knew that the undercover station was in the World Trade Center complex.

Baloney. I'd be willing to bet most terrorists know this station was there. 'Intelligence officials' need to get a grip and realize we're not stupid enough to believe this pap.

Well, it is comforting to know that the CIA is recruiting at the UN and among the foreign students here in the US.

[Cicero]

Well, it's good in a way. In the past the CIA played footsie with Bin Ladin, and there have been doubts about how some of the clintonoids in the agency might respond to the new policies coming down from the President, so maybe this will help ensure that all of them are on board in the current war.

The intelligence agency's employees were able to watch from their office windows while the twin towers burned just before they evacuated their own building...

... while they asked each other why no one saw this coming.

Hopefully, the tailor shop that serves as the secret entrance to the world headquarters of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement remains standing...

..seriously disrupting United States intelligence operations..

Actually, no difference was detected in CIA capability, before and after Sep. 11. Nada = Nada.

The agency is prohibited from conducting domestic espionage operations against Americans,

Yeah right.

Incredible story.

From the beginning, what we saw was a confused and far weaker response to the atrocities than we all imagined. The feeling we all had, and continue to have, is that far more damage has been inflicted on this country than they care to acknowledge.

I think that large elements of the public are becoming extremely uncomfortable with the situation. America's enemies seem not to be being dealt with decisively, and the sense is that time is not on our side.
