its hard to hold this WH accountable for a number of reasons... 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. 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.
