She points out that knowing that *some* terrorist attack *may* happen
*somewhere* and knowing that a bunch of insane moronic idiotic
lower-than-life infidels hijacking planes with knives and such at 8 a.m. on
Tuesday September 11, 2001 , are two completely different things.
Now if it comes out in the wash that Bush knew that 9/11 was going to
happen, have fun kicking him out of office.
Did someone (agencies, whoever) drop the ball? You bet. All the red flags
were there--what you didn't have was someone to notice the pattern and make
a preemptive end to the sequence of events.
I don't like Bush (I don't have to--I'm not American). That said, I'll give
him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, though--it's what the
justice system strives for--innocent until proven guilty. And that's how we
play cricket in this town.
