3. That's what I had assumed, that it was material they had for 3 years. |
|
But apparently, it was info they had found on the laptop. Still, it doesn't make up for their sheer lack of responsibility for not telling us that in the first place...

4. That's a good question.... |
|
We don't really know. They "say" they got it from the guy in Pakistan? Do you believe them or not? They are capable of lying, we all know that. Why? What would be their motive?

5. Actually this makes sense to me. |
|
New information can shed light on old information. It can give you a reason to review old information and see, in hindsight, trends you didn't pick up as part of the daily inflow of data. Hence the term "Hindsight is 20/20."

but I just don't want to argue with everyone.
New info to US, old info for them.
Planning for 9-11-01 started in at LEAST 1998 (Bojinko (sp?)) probably back further.
Stages = surveillance (scoping out sights), installing teams, training, then re-scoping of sights (January 2004?) for up-to-date info.
Flame away, but after the scene of no one doing anything about the 9-11-01 planning for years and years...I think if they have possible info, they should act.
No I'm not scared, I'm not capitulating to bush, but I am starting to preface everything with : When John Kerry is President, how would I expect him to act about/with...?
