This is all so much crap. No mention in any of the current press reports do they cover Project Bojinka and the "mastermind" of the 1st WTC bombing - Ramzi Yousef - traveling on an Iraqi passport. Terrorism trial begins in New York (May 13, 1996)
Noted in a much later article but known to the FBI in 1995 was a plan to crash an airliner in the CIA headquarters. Thus all the basic aspects of our vulnerabilty were known in 1995. And even less than nothing was done. The Clinton administration actively worked with the airlines to prevent the implementation of measures that might have prevented 9-11 including hardened cockpit doors. :-( Yet another plan on the computer called for the terrorists to dive-bomb an airplane into CIA headquarters.
As I note in an email today:
Just a test to see if your email is up but also all you need to refute any crap from the 9-11 commission.
We knew they were planning to use airliners as weapons, Al Bore was head of an airline security overview investigation that came in with (in the preliminary release) very strict security measures for airlines. Once the airlines saw the prelim they squawked loudly and mysteriously hundreds of thousands of dollars poured into the DNC and report recommendations including cockpit door fortifications disappeared from the recommendations.
We had 5 years to prevent 9-11 and nothing was done. We all knew it - its all our fault. But really its not. We didn't press for more protection - we relied on the government to protect us and they failed. President Bush was still moving in - the Clinton administration had 5 years and did less than nothing - they deliberately watered down stepped-up airline security rules, took campaign donations as payoff and left us vulnerable to a known and credible attack scenario from a group of proven terrorists who had declared war on the USA.

Clinton and 9/11
By Allan J. Favish

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Printable.asp?ID=10324 From this great article:
"Given the knowledge that al-Qaidas operatives who had tried to topple the WTC in 1993 with a bomb that caused immense damage and loss of life, were plotting to use airplanes to crash into buildings, including the WTC and Pentagon, one would think that the Clinton Administration would have put sky marshals on all commercial jets, had the airlines install secure doors for the pilot cabins and alerted the public and the flight schools. But the Clinton Administration did not do any of this. At the very least, one would think that the Clinton Administration would have told the incoming Bush Administration about this aspect of Bojinka. However, that does not appear to have happened either.
"Speaking at a press conference on May 16, 2002, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, President Bushs National Security Advisor, defended the Bush Administration against charges that Bush learned enough information about a possible airborne attack on the WTC in the spring and summer of 2001 to have prevented the attack. Rice stated that the Clinton Administration did not tell her about Bojinka:"

Seems Clinton had plenty of time to increase airport security, beef up the sky-marshall program, and harden cockpit doors, yet chose to do nothing. Probably just too busy getting a hummer that day.
