Agree on investigations. Agree that wasting money on Clinton investigation was ridiculous. (If you spent $60 million investigating the Pope, you'd probably find some nasties.) However, the logical and the moderate approach would be to investigate but not to pre-judge. The risk of something going wrong and getting public if government collusion were to be found in 9/11 is so high that it really is ludicrous to think that it is possible. As for inefficiency and incompetence, those are synonyms for government beaurocracy. Our government is better than most or maybe even all others (IMO) but still needs significant improvement. As I posted before, there are warnings every day that airplanes are being highjacked with evil intent. How does one know which one is the real OBL plot?

It is not by their words, but by their actions that we know that they knew. cbsnews.com July 26, 2001 In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a "threat assessment" by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term. Maybe they didn't know which airline or how many would be hyjacked, or what might be done with the hyjacked planes, but the neocons did know that they needed the equivalent of a Reichstag fire to galvinize the public and make their puppet leader George more complient to their goals.
