But I dare you to present a single person who looked at cryptic reports that arabs were taking flight lessons and shouted "oh my God, they're going to crash into the World Trade Center!" Give the terrorists their due.

There was the female FBI agent in Arizona who alerted the FBI headquaters.

There was the pilot instructor (retired Air Force pilot) who alerted the FBI in Minnesota, which in turn alerted FBI headquaters.

There was the CIA who was tailing one of the 9/11 hijackers until he entered the U.S.

Oh yes - there was a commerical jet that was hijacked a few years ago and landed at Marseille enroute to flying into the Eiffel Tower (French SWAT team overwhelmed the hijackers).

Again, what would you have done differently? You do realize that President Bush (who has all the facts - you have a bit of malarky presented by Hillary Clinton & her colleagues) would not be putting the security of our nation at risk by remaining loyal to someone who was incompetant, don't you?
Nothing like this had ever come close to happening in this country, and there was no reason to think that it would. Even after 9/11, a huge percentage of the population is complaining about heightened security measures. Are you foolish enough to think that people would have blandly accepted them last summer? Get real! Nobody came close to anticipating the 9/11 attack.

If you had this information before 9/11, why didn't you notify the administration?

If you didn't have all this information, as much of it has been brought to light after 9/11, then you are not qualified to criticize.

Thousands of items of information are received by the security agencies every day. In hindsight, one can go through them and find pertinent clues. Before the fact, it is almost impossible.

I must conclude that the Rats are worried about Rice, and therefore are trying to discredit her. You are, as usual, doing their bidding.
