I am telling you, your articles from sights that are more interested in the protection of fishies than human life, are not to be trusted.

Two different excerpts from NY Times:

First comes from the Ann Coulter article, I trust that the cite is authentic, second comes with link to actual article. Note, O'Neil is likely to be one of the FBI officials mentioned.

As The New York Times reported (in the always-crucial penultimate paragraph): "FBI officials said there was reluctance at the time to mount such a major review because of a concern that the bureau would be criticized for ethnic profiling of foreigners."

The memorandum was sent to counterterrorism offices in two cities one copy went to John O'Neill, then the top counterterrorism agent in the F.B.I.'s New York office. Mr. O'Neill retired from the F.B.I. in late August. He had just begun a job as the security chief of the World Trade Center when he was killed in the attacks.

Usually, internal investigative proposals that involve agencywide resources are reviewed by high F.B.I. officials. But in this case F.B.I. officials have said that officials who read the memorandum were distracted by other cases, a plot against American interests in France and the investigation of the attack in October 2000 on the destroyer Cole.
