The real question is this. Does Congress and the Democrats and the Repubs really want the gov't to respond in the way it should knowing that a WMD attack on the US is a true possibility? Can the INS and FBI overcome their interia and secure the borders and deport the middle eastern illegals and take down their support networks? Or is there a reason why the best they can do is color codes and feeling up grandmas at airports?
Don't ask why was nothing done 9-10. Ask why is nothing being done NOW. We are essentially in a 9-10 condition today. We've had the warning. What will we do about it?

Great article.
It points directly to those with power who do not want to assume the responsibility for it.

Intelligence agencies are hierarchies, meaning that they are bureaucracies that protect turf and regard information sharing as an unnatural act.
This SAYS IT ALL.Add the corrupt Clinton's and wa-la.
I always wondered why President Bush did not clean up/ replace more federal agency high to medium enchelon employees.

Of the 40 some odd
"COMMUNIST'S GOALS FOR THE TAKEOVER OF THE US " one of the 2 or 3 remaining is the discrediting of the FBI.
It's almost complete .(It'salmosttolate)

Although both the liberal press and the fringe right-wing extremists who dislike President Bush would like for Americans to think that 9/11 was a failure of our Intelligence Agencies, nothing could be further from the truth.
9/11 was a failure of deterrence, not intelligence. It is simply not possible to know everything and stop every atrocity with that knowlege.
On the other hand, it is possible for our response to be so severe that future attacks are deterred...
