Seems Mohamed Atta's sponsor, to help cobble together the necessary papers to get him into the U.S.A. was an Arab who owed grocery stores called Plaza Extra.

Seems there's a bustling Middle Eastern community on the island.

Yesterday, 3:30 p.m., the feds closed two of those shops.

When Clinton left, the FBI and CIA were on their knees -- they are now rebuilding from ashes.

Indeed, better late than never.

Hard to do 'better work' when you've been hamstrung and hogtied by the Clintonistas.

Individual agents made decisions to harrass enemies of Clinton, be it the witnesses who questioned the suicide of Vincent Foster or their visits to Juanita Broaderick; that indicates a moral corruption of the entire FBI.

These lame attempt press releases to establish some degree of relevancey with the public are insulting.

That really stretches it, don't paint an entire group with the color of a few.

Indivdual agents were acting on the orders of others despite what they know must have been wrong.

Makes me think of the individual servicemen who were "just following orders" when they launched cruise missiles at an asprin factory in the Sudan to keep Lewinsky off the front pages in August of 1998. They simply must have known what they were doing was wrong.

This also makes that lost crop duster down there less benign. Was it ever found?

That's right. There were reports of a U.S. crop duster (marijuana defoliation??) going missing in the Caribbean after 9/11. I wonder if it was ever found. I have not seen news that says so.

I wonder if ATTA put also some of those pre-September 11th miles on his rental car, in a trip to Trenton, to mail the anthrax laced letters? They were postmarked September 9th.

Atta certainly got around.
