Just who do you think is responsible for the bad intel?
Bush is responsible for lying about it. Cheney certainly lied about it. Was it bad intel from Chalabi? Was it bad intel from the neocons and their buddies in Israel? Was it bad work by the CIA? Will the truth ever come out? Will it ever matter?

1. It will be shaped by some trade paperback
badly dog-eared on the metro rides from Friendship Heights to Foggy Bottom.

A Grisham Clancy Collaboration!

3. "911 was not an intelligence failure, it was an intelligence SUCCESS"
.
.
.

That is a quote from the special CBC put on in October last year, and just rebroadcast last evening.

Some from the CBC report follows:

NO FAILURE AT ALL?

Conspiracy theorists – or 9/11 skeptics as they prefer to be called – have pointed to the failure of the U.S. intelligence community to prevent the 9/11 attacks from occurring as proof the whole thing was a plot engineered by the U.S. government.

In fact, 9/11 skeptics argue there was no ‘failure’ at all – that the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency played a part in 9/11, or at the very least knew the attack was coming and let it occur anyway. According to the skeptics 9/11 gave the Bush administration the justification to clampdown on civil liberties and invade Afghanistan and Iraq to ensure future supplies of oil.

THE BOJINKA PLOT

The Bojinka plot is uncovered in the Philippines. In 1995 Filipino police raid an al Qaeda bomb-making factory. Among the belongings they find is a laptop computer, which contains a number of startling terror plots, including a plan to assassinate the Pope, and to put terrorists on a dozen American jumbo jets and blow them up in midair. Another plan was to dive-bomb a plane into the CIA headquarters.
