And yet no one "connected the dots," in the words of Sen. Bob Graham.

Activities of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, 1999-2000
Senate Report 107-51, August 3, 2001

On June 8, 2000, the Committee held an open hearing to receive the report of the National Commission on Terrorism, known as the ``Bremer Commission,'' prepared pursuant to P.L. 277. Testifying before the Committee were Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III, Commission Chairman, as well as Commission Vice Chairman Maurice Sonnenberg, and Commissioners R. James Woolsey, Jane Harman, and Juliette N. Kayyem.

The purpose of the hearing was to inform the Committee of the intelligence-related findings and recommendations contained in the Commission's unclassified report entitled ``Countering the Changing Threat of International Terrorism.'' The Committee noted that the Commission echoed the Committee's concern regarding the evolving threat posed by international terrorism. These concerns were noted in the Committee's May 4th report accompanying the Committee's Intelligence Authorization Bill for Fiscal Year 2001. In that Report, the Committee stated that: ``The Committee continues to be extremely concerned by the threat posed by international terrorism to our nation's security, and to the lives of Americans here and around the world.'' The Commission highlighted the Members' concern that ``in addition to traditional weapons such as hijacking and car bombs, terrorists' attacks are ever more likely to include chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons.'' The Committee also noted, in that report, that the terrorist threats faced during the millennium celebrations were deferred rather than defeated.

The Commission's report Countering the Changing Threat of International Terrorism has Usama bin Ladin and al-Qaida (the spellings used in the report) mentioned numerous times.

Sen. Bob Graham was the person who submitted Senate Report 107-51.
He had the dots to connect back in June 2000.
What's his excuse?

I think Jenna is reading from the Demorats "talking points" memo.

Yes, that seems likely. Looks like they've found the dictionary, though. Those folks don't usually use "big" words such as vexing. Perhaps Jenna added a little personal flair, hmm?

More excellence here - thank you Michigander - all see post #43......the Rats are exposed again for their malfeasance:

"Sen. Bob Graham was the person who submitted Senate Report 107-51.

He had the dots to connect back in June 2000.

I don't see how this doesn't at least add up to alerting the airlines to provide the kind of security we have had since the attack.

Prior to the attack, the kind of security we have had since the attack would have been rejected by most Americans. The strip searches, the no nail-clippers policies, etc. would have been ridiculed as unnecessary and ineffective. Also, the only effective prevention -- much more scrutiny of individuals fitting the profile of the perpetrators -- would have been vilified as "racial profiling" and your democrat friends would have been up in arms. Even now they bristle at any suggestion of targeted scrutiny as racial profiling and insist on RANDOM searches of grandparents, children, and other non-treats to be more "thorough".

What's interesting about this trumped-up scandal is what DIDN'T happen:

You forgot one:

This kind of congressional attack always backfires.

I hope you're right, FReeper pal.

Don't worry about me

They are not worried about you. They just want you to go away.

Others have catagorically refuted each of your posts, why do you persist as if they hadn't?
