Considering that the CIA already had a written outline of the attack, acquired when Ramsi Yussef and his partner were arrested, and already had under suspicion some of the bin Laden people involved, you would wonder why they didn't round up the "usual suspects" and sweat something out of them as to what was going to happen.
Do the Mossad and French intelligence have to come over here themselves and round up and question the known members of the bin Laden organization for us?
That's real nice but there are no specifics. What kind of attack, where, which cells within the US are involved? Again, this is a big country, it's one thing to find out Israel is being targeted for something big enough to involve 200 terrorists, it's another for the US.

Two things here. 1 - there doesn't seem to have been any info that linked the outline they got from Yussef to the "lead" from Mussad before the attack. That alone would have been great. 2 - this is America, we don't round up the usual suspects, and we shouldn't. Arresting people before we have evidence that they are doing something illegal and sweating them out is how bad places do things. As every terrorist expert has said for many years, our level of freedoms hieghtens our vulnerability, and that's one of the freedoms that really increases our vulnerability.

They should stay clear. We don't arrest people because of "links", and if we ever do everything we've ever fought for is lost. If they want to treat everyone in their country like suspects that's their perogative, in America we need evidence BEFORE we arrest.
