Not saying you've proven he was only derelict, but so far there is no actual evidence of LIHOP, and certainly none of MIHOP. There is evidence that SUGGESTS the possibility of both, especially LIHOP, but nothing YET which proves that he knew of the specific threat and deliberately allowed it to happen.

There's a lesser version of LIHOP, even MIHOP. Bush wanted an excuse to go to war with Afghanistan, so he pushed the Taliban to turn over Bin Laden, then left the door open so they could get through, expecting that they would try something, but not knowing what.

LIHOP-- there are days when everything slips into a certain pattern and I wonder... Even am tempted to speculate... But so far the other possibilites make more sense. I would either need hard evidence that it was LIHOP, or I would need for all lesser options to be disproven by something. As long as the lesser options fully explain what happened, I can't make the leap to LIHOP.
