Bush did not ignore the memo. It contained no specific information capable of action....

Show me where he ignored the warning. And what a warning "planning to attack inside the US" Where? with what? How? when? But that's all the CIA had because Clinton cut back their money

That's called a C-Y-A memo. Politicos usually write them.

<<What do you think is his excuse for ignoring that warning? Do you think the families of the 9-11 victims have a right to know? Don't see how you can blame Clinton for that one...>> Not Clinton, Senator Kerry. In May 2001, Kerry was urgently contacted by Brian Sullivan, an honorably-retired FAA security inspector. Mr. Sullivan advised Kerry about the sloppy state of security at Boston Logan Airport. Mr. Sullivan reminded Kerry that there was a terrorist threat. Kerry did nothing. But Kerry had clear proof that what Mr. Sullivan alleged was true. During this time frame, a video was sent to the good senator. It was done by a credible journalist at a Boston TV station, showing how Logan's airport security was a scandalous mess. Kerry ignored it. When Steve Elson, another retired FAA inspector, attempted to make an appointment to see Kerry to help him understand the gravity of the situation at this Massachusetts airport, the senator's office denied the request. The reason: Elson was not a "constituent."
