Where's the perjury? How would you handle the "warning" in that memo. The memo says nothing. Anyone who read newspapers would know that OBL desired to hit the US and that he might hijack planes or he might use explosives or he might use suicide bombers. Would he attack the Golden Gate bridge, a train station, a dam, a chemical company, an electric power grid, a commercial cargo ship, an LNG tanker, a cruise ship, Amtrak, or even the city where YOU live? and WHEN? Nobody, I repeat nobody, knew that he would fly planes into WTC on 9/11!!! There are thousands of warnings every day. Do you put 100 agents on each one? That's 100,000 agents at a minimum for each day's warnings. It's a needle in a haystack. I agree that the system is inefficient and needs change, change that has to be a partnership between Congress and the W/H, so that protections for civil rights are not trampled but that obsolete prohibitions on FBI, CIA and DIA are not the excuse for future 9/11's. This is what Kerry should be saying, not your silly attempts to place blame where there is enough blame to go around way before Clinton. The blame game will prevent real questions and real solutions. Other than shuffling around personnel, are the bureaucracies really working better and more "together" today than pre 9/11? Have we truly stopped our "allies" the Saudis and the Pakistanis from support of terror, financially and physically? These questions won't even be addressed if the "blame" game continues for political reasons.
