So far we've learned.......
bush (gop) was briefed before-hand....
house (dnc) were breifed before-hand.....
So, I guess both sides saw the threat, did nothing
and took the opportunity to expand the power of government.
Both sides were briefed on a general threat of potential hijackings. And you would have liked them to do what? Ground all aircraft? LOL.
I bet you also have been one of the ones screaming when Sec. Ridge puts out one of those vague colored alerts, too.
