Ted, here's the bottom line. Several people had sneaky suspicions, especially in both the Clinton and the Bush administrations, not to mention the intelligence community. But none of those suspicions were urgent enough to act upon. We don't know how good the intelligence information was itself, but we do know that the interpretation of it got muddled in the incredible bureaucracy of the federal agencies in charge. Now that 9/11 happened, those who mentioned those suspicions in the first place are being trotted out as if they knew all along, even if their info was no more urgent than much of the other info that comes along. And politicians are out there second-guessing the motives and the actions of those in charge at the time. These politicians are obviously being politically selfish, even as they hide behind their "patriotism," which in their mind is the "courage" to criticize their leaders. Tenchusatsu
