76. But 80 agents from many agencies raided a Muslim IT server in Texas 9/5/01
So here is a combination of too little too late (organizational inertia) and LIHOP. Both of these scenarios are true, not just one.

This massive raid suggests that there were people who made an effort to stop the attacks. There were also a group of neocons ready to take advantage of successful attacks.

Figuring out who helped and who hindered is the key.

This appears to be the first action taken one day after the September 4th counter-terrorism task force meeting.

It suggests that they definitely knew of imminent domestic threats from radical Muslim militants.

It was also highly visible with press conferences suggesting that they might have been doing some butt covering for what was about to hit us one week later on 9/11 so they wouldn't look totally surprised.

But since Condi didn't tout this raid as a sign of her effectiveness, it suggests that 9/11 was too horrendous to admit to having the urgent foreknowldge that inspired this massive raid.

This massive interagency effort IS EVIDENCE THEY KNEW and the hundreds of people involved with organizing and analyizing this raid know and can tell the 9/11 whitewash commission plenty.

Five hundred websites - many of them with an Arab or Muslim connection - crashed last Wednesday when an anti-terrorism taskforce raided InfoCom Corporation in Texas.

The 80-strong taskforce that descended upon the IT company included FBI agents, Secret Service agents, Diplomatic Security agents, tax inspectors, immigration officials, customs officials, department of commerce officials and computer experts.

Three days later, they were still busy inside the building, reportedly copying every hard disc they could find. InfoCom hosts websites for numerous clients in the Middle East, including al-Jazeera (the satellite TV station), al-Sharq (a daily newspaper in Qatar), and Birzeit (the Palestinian university on the West Bank). It also hosts sites for several Muslim organisations in the United States, among them the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim Students Association, the Islamic Association for Palestine, and the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development."
