Yup. Message 19144686 The report says: "Prior to Sept 11, the intelligence community was not prepared to handle the challenge it faced in translating the volumes of foreign language counterterrorism intelligence it collected ... The intelligence community's ability to produce significant and timely signals intelligence on counterterrorism was limited by the [NSA's] failure to address modern communications technology aggressively ... and insufficient collaboration between NSA and FBI regarding the potential for terrorist attacks in the United States." *** Message 18925273 It is my belief that although the various intelligence gathering facilities of the government are deluged with information of varying specificity in a given time period, none of what were in retrospect painfully indicative, tragic hints were compelling when viewed piecemeal across different governmental organizations which didn't habitually cross-pollenate. Nonetheless, people will inevitably ask why it is that in the time leading up to 9/11, dots weren't connected - and that is the right question to ask, in my opinion. *** LPS5

We are all moderates in our own minds. I'm sure Hitler, Stalin, and Mao thought they were too. Somebody ought to tell tsigprofit this. He and his thread appear rather far left to me. Isn't that what people accuse Bush of doing? But Bush really IS doing this. Didn't anyone tell you? :-) Does the intelligence suffer from Hoover disease (keep it to ourselves so others don't see that we wear dresses?) LOL!!!!!!!!!! "Hoover disease". :-) But does it rise to the level of the US doing it intentionally to ourselves or having Israel do it for us? It's so absurd, but of course, those who will find support will only read the same from others and will believe it. In Ray's "moderate" view, it is perfectly obvious that there is a devious plot afoot. And I doubt his sanity. "Never explain by conspiracy what incompetence and stupidity can cover."
