True, especially since many of those alleged hijackers turned out to be alive as you just pointed out. I have a really hard time believing that the Bush Adminstration had no clue the attacks were coming when their own military intelligence people were tailing the alleged hijackers a full year before the attacks.

> they knew the names and had pictures of nineteen Muslims who they alleged were the perpetrators zaman.com >>A US army intelligence officer has claimed that two out of three cells involved in the September 11 attacks had been identified a year before the event. Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, 42, of Able Danger, a secret data-analyzing operation of the US army said his unit had identified Mohammed Atta and three other suicide hijackers involved in the 9/11 in mid 2000. Shaffer claimed the army intelligence unit had tried to transmit this information to the FBI but the Pentagon lawyers canceled three meetings with FBI agents. According to Shaffer, the lawyers prevented the meetings to avoid accusations against the Pentagon that the information had been obtained illegally. Shafer said he had conveyed this information to a commission working on the 9/11 attacks but he had not been considered important enough. <<
