9/11 & Bush's 'Negligence'

In the U.S. government’s pursuit of the death penalty for Zacarias Moussaoui, FBI officials have inadvertently revealed how an even mildly competent George W. Bush could have prevented the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people – and set the country on a dangerous course for revenge.

FBI agent Harry Samit, who interrogated Moussaoui weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks, sent 70 warnings to his superiors about suspicions that the al-Qaeda operative had been taking flight training in Minnesota because he was planning to hijack a plane for a terrorist operation.

But FBI officials in Washington showed “criminal negligence” in blocking requests for a search warrant on Moussaoui’s computer or taking other preventive action, Samit testified at Moussaoui’s death penalty hearing on March 20.

Samit’s futile warnings matched the frustrations of other federal agents in Minnesota and Arizona who had gotten wind of al-Qaeda’s audacious scheme to train pilots for operations in the United States. But the agents couldn’t get their warnings addressed by senior officials at FBI headquarters.

stirred up the 9/11 waters at the scene of the crime.

America has never really stood back and looked at 9/11 and the massive BushCo screwups objectively.

Perhaps this is the moment.

Make it so...

What more do we need to know?

And this idiot is still our pResident?

Great, just fucking great.

A big part of the problem was illustrated on c-spin, this morning. A woman caller, purported to be a democrat, sounded like a democrat, said that she "respected' the president. Not that bush deserved respect, but, in a way representative of the views of many misguided citizens, that we should respect the president and, since bush holds that office, he should be respected.
I've noticed that same attitude among the washington politicians (wish it had worked with Clinton.)
Somehow, no matter what a turd he really is, the ass in the chair is deserving of special handling and no one should point out what an abject failure as a human being he really is.:puke:
