My reasons to hold them accountable (my connecting of dots):

1) We learned that counterterrorism priority was lowered, from urgent to important. (Jan 01)
2) The Bush/Cheney counterterrorism "task force" created in May/01 never convened.
3) When there was chatter in June, Ashcroft advised to no longer use commercial flights. I conclude that nature of the thread(s) (hijacking) was specific enough.
4) During the Jun/July chatter, Bush and Rice never chaired a meeting, says Clarke.
5) FBI knew that two AL-Qaeda members (later 9/11 hijackers) were in the US. Clarke says it's "absolutely incomprehensible" that there was no information flow.

There were errors. But there was also a significant desinterest. And without 9/11, NeoCons Iraq2 dream would have been impossible to sell to the US people.

Your points are compelling.......you may be right.

And this morning I learned that Rice still refuses to talk under oath. There's a lot of stonewalling among those who didn't care much about the terroristic thread.

Rice makes me ill. She uses those baby browns of hers to look all innocent and unfairly maligned. They need to haul her butt in front of the commission and publicly have her testify. She reports to both the president and the people of the US.......she needs to deal with that fact pronto.
