"If you think this happened in reality, perhaps you can find proof from a trustworthworthy source..... Not common dreams, nor moveon.org, or similar"

Try these sources:

Special Report: The Secret History, Time, Aug. 12, 2002

Planning for Terror but Failing to Act, NYT, Dec. 30, 2001

Say Nothing and Do It, Washington Post, Jan. 19, 2002

How Sept. 11 Changed Goals of Justice Dept., NYT, Feb. 28, 2002

The President?
He's not trustworthy for a lot of people, but is he trustworthy enough for you?

"CLAIM: "The fact of the matter is [that] the administration focused on this before 9/11." – National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, 3/22/04
FACT: President Bush and Vice President Cheney's counterterrorism task force, which was created in May, never convened one single meeting. The President himself admitted that "I didn't feel the sense of urgency" about terrorism before 9/11. [Source: Washington Post, 1/20/02; Bob Woodward's "Bush at War"]"

Again: who lowered priority and why did they lower priority?
