Thanks for the input. Yeah, I'm sorely aware it could use some editing. One issue I had to work around was that a concise summary would lack supporting detail. Originally I had added a timeline to serve as a summary, but that would've added even more to the length, so I ended up cutting that out. Ideally I'd have reworked it a bit along the lines you suggest, but I was under a time crunch to get it out there and had to cut off editing after a point. Like I say there will be shorter follow-ups, and hopefully that will be able to address the points you raise, which are well-taken.
I don't have time to read this now...will read it later. Thanks for this research...
They plot and work in the shadows, like busy little roaches wallowing in their own pridefulness .. and I'll believe to my dying day that it's because their egos were crushed at the revelation of their own incompetence at missing the many attacks. They just couldn't stand the public humiliation in their allegedly lofty and vital positions.
I'm putting my faith in Porter Goss's fumigation machine for at least some level of order to be brought to bear.
