You really need to learn more about what happened on that fateful day of 9/11/01. Did you ever see the interview conducted with the ticket agent in Portland, ME that checked Mohamed Atta and company through onto their connecting flight to Boston? The guy was in tears as he told of how Atta really aroused his suspicions but he didn't raise the red flag. He said he will carry the regret of not acting on his suspicions about Atta to his grave. That ticket agent may have acted differently if he knew of the threat outlined in the Aug 6th 2001 PDB. The information was not shared with the folks in the field that could have made a difference that day. Your efforts to provide cover for Bush are dubious at best. The pattern of utter incompetence was repeated later with hurricane Katrina.
