Among the best articles on Bojinka were in the LA Times and Washington Post, so I couldn;t post them, or even link to them because their archives aren't available on line.

Suffice to say that the plan to hijack an airplane and fly it in to the CIA headquarters was made known by the terrorists as a consequence of the investigations.

This Bojinka, where they planned to blow up 5 to 10 jets plying east Asian routes (Manilla, Taipi, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore) concommitantly with assassinating the Pope in the Philippines and the stuff they learned from the first WTC bombing and the African embassy bombings should have led investigators to put two and two together better than they did.

But it was the time of Clinton.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the fourth September 11 plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was heading for Langley, per the original conception -- all this talk of it heading to the White House or the Capitol being propaganda to cover the grotesque nature of the intelligence/enforcement failure.
