How Much Did the Bush Administration Know?
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and 9/11
By JAMES RIDGEWAY

In San Antonio over the weekend,Bush defended the NSA wiretap program,saying, "They attacked us before, they'll attack us again if they can," he said. "And we're going to do everything we can to stop them."

To be polite about it, this is an especially weird statement coming from a President whose administration repeatedly ignored one warning after another of an imminent terrorist attack before 9/11.

But in fact, it is clear the administration did know we could be attacked in any number of ways, including by turning a hijacked commercial airliner into a missile.
