"Finally, bin Laden's al Qaeda organization had tried and failed to blow up the World Trade Center" I'm not sure where this writer gets her information, but the first bombing of the WTC was NOT the work of Bin Laden! It was the work of the Iranian government's intelligence agency and the Sudanese government. These two states were also responsible for the plot to blow up the UN and the Holland Tunnel planned for the 4th of July. The local terrorist cell that carried out the attack was under the control of the Muslim cleric Sheikh Umar Abdel Rahman, the spiritual leader of the NY terror network. [See TERROR: THE INSIDE STORY OF THE TERRORIST CONSPIRACY IN AMERICA by terrorist expert Yossef Bondansky of the Congressional Committee on Terrorism.] What I would like to know is the timeline for the Clinton's restrictions on the CIA and also Torcelli's legislation as it related to the sucessful breaking up of this ring by our law enforcement. If their restrictions were put in AFTER this .... I can't even type what I feel should happen!

Where was the Billary administration when all of this was going on?. Probably out feeling some womans pain or is that the right name for it?.

There were more than "red flags" available to the CIA and FBI before the 9-11 attack.

The Mossad sent a top level delegation to the CIA four weeks before the attack and told the CIA that Bin Laden's organization was about to pull off a major attack on the U.S. that would involve about 200 of bin Laden's agents. The Mossad could not tell the CIA exacly what was about to be attacked. The French intelligence agency gave a similar warning to the CIA.

The Mossad's warning was apparently totally ignored by the CIA, the FBI, or both. Now the CIA is covering its tracks over this matter. And it is getting lots of help from the major media. The fact that the CIA was warned by the Mossad and by the French that something very big was about to come off has been completely squelched in all media discussions of the massive intelligence failure that took place.

``Somehow, it fell between the cracks,''

Things don't fall between cracks, they fall through cracks. A minor point.

Sure the red flags were up, but so were so many others raised by the left, such as killer suvs, cigarettes, accusations of republicans wanting to poison the air and kill children and grandpeople, result-free soccer leagues, and all sorts of nonsense... We have/had several congressmen who are poll driven and unless the matter of terrorist action upon the US was on the vote-radar then little would have been done about it. The left deserves an amount of blame for this mess, supporting a president who put himself above all others among other things. It's no wonder we didn't see it coming.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT,RED FLAGS ALL OVER THE PLACE!

The simple fact of the matter is that the Federal government has failed big time in its (one of the few) requirements to protect it's citizens. This is a major breach of trust with the American people. THEY DC BUREAUCRATS HAVE LET THEIR PETTY INFIGHTING GET 7,000 AMERICANS KILLED - THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. INSTEAD OF KISSING CIA'S ASS W SHOULD OF BEEN LOBBING OFF HEADS

Hindsight is always 20/20. I don't care how many 'warnings', specific or otherwise the FBI or CIA had prior to 9/11. This is a huge country, and people have the ability to travel all over unhindered. If someone is using several aliases, it would be difficult to track them down.

I don't fault the CIA or FBI for what happenend PRIOR to 9/11, but I WOULD fault them if they haven't learned their lessons by now. Racial or ethnic profiling notwithstanding, we're going to have to be much more scrupulous about who we let into this country.

I read an article in our local paper yesterday about how student visas are being limited and that those who are here on them will be watched more closely. And if they drop out of school, they WILL be deported.

It is sad that it took an evil of such a magnitude to galvanize folks, but it is better late than never.
