I seem to remember that,before 9-11, there was a huge plot to hijack airliners coming to the US from Asia. It was broken up. Perhaps they thought they’d gotten it taken care of?
I don’t remember that, but then again I wasn’t paying attention much either. Clinton was finally gone, and I needed a breather from the insanity.
I really wish we would hear from Condi Rice. She could clear a lot of this up it seems to me. I have a very hard time believing GWB and/or his national security team knew something was imenent and essentially ignored it.
