As much as I hate to say it, Hillary is right on this one.

It is inexcusable for the President to not have told us this prior, to have to have his hand forced by investigators, in order to attempt some damage control, all the while he has been miling the 9/11 tragedy for his own and the GOP's benefits.

You government (and Bush) apologists ought to be ashamed of yourselves. If the administration doesn't step up to the plate on this one they will get smashed in 02 and 04.

What was Bush supposed to tell us? That among the many things mentioned during an intelligence briefing was that bin Laden's minions might hijack a plane - which Moslem extremists had been doing for years, anyway - but he had no idea or way of knowing where or when? What were we supposed to do with that bit of info, go into a panic and stop flying altogether?

One always needs to consider the source. I've got my problems with the Bush response to terrorism - Mineta should've been fired, the pilots armed, and the Arabs profiled before Sept. 11, or at least on Sept. 12, but none of those things has happened. But for the Dems in general, and a Clinton in particular, to play the pious voice of aroused patriotism on this issue is too much to stomach. It's the equivalent of NAMBLA deploring the seduction of altar boys by Catholic priests.

Your recollection is faulty. Travel warnings *were* broadcast two or three days before 9/11. As broadcast, the warnings were directed to Americans at home and abroad. NOBODY had any information that aircraft were going to be flown into office buildings. If you have proof of such information, I'm certain that Rep. McKinney would reward you handsomely.

Peddle your "Shame on you" garbage elsewhere. Your last sentence indicates that you atleast understand what is driving this. As to the rest of your post... physician, heal thyself.
