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. My friend, this is a no brainer. When you are warned about an impending attack, you increase your guard similar to what the US is doing today. Do you agree that we are doing much better today as far as security goes that what Bush did after his August 6 PDB. People are not saying he should have put 100000 people out there. Tighten up airport security, have more patrols on the bridges, have skypatrils are some of the things I am suggesting and I am not even a terrorism expert. I bet if you ask a terrorism expert like Richard Clarke, he or she will give you a lot of other and even better idesa. But surely not sleep over it and say :it is not important and historical in nature" as Dr. Rice did.

If it turned out that they knew they were going to fly planes into the wtcenter, they'd have said they didn't know the day. If it turned out they knew the day, they'd have said they didn't know the flight. If it turned out they knew the flight, they'd have said they didn't know the hijackers. At that point would you finally begin to think that they knew enough to have done a whole lot more to find out more, or do you truly believe that effective protection of the American people means that unless they confess their plans far enough ahead of time so that you know every detail, you're not responsible for stopping them?
