Well, make up your mind. In your last post you said all you were doing was
relaying info.

How can you say it was a "MAJOR intelligence breakdown?" Is there some chain
that they failed to follow from one end to the other? Is this the same plot?
I mean, it targeted different places than those listed in the report you gave
a URL for.

Where do you feel they dropped the ball?

Don't be stupid, Chuck. They will uncover many plans as time goes on. Do you
think that only one terrorist ever has any one kind of plan? So if bin Laden
didn't think of attacking the WTC it would have never happened?

The sort of inflamatory, finger pointing rhetoric that you attached to that
story is pretty mindless. There is nothing in the story to say that there was
any chance that anyone could ever have stopped what happened based on what
was found six years ago.

By "fly off the handle" I mean you jumped to a conclusion not led to by the
article you referred to and took that opportunity to insult people who are
dedicated to saving lives. I didn't think you were all that stirred up about
it. My guess is that doing stuff like that is just SOP with you.

It sure is. So you are free to add editorial. You are also free to post
follow ups lying and saying, "I was just passing on the information." But
when you lie and say such, I am also free to point out that you aren't
telling the truth.
