10. The title of that PDB is damning
"Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States."

and I don't care how they try to spin it.

Put this on top of the next very huge question: Why was the routine security measures suspended when they knew planes had been hijacked the morning of September 11th? The U.S. Air Force "stood down". Why? They could have prevented or reduced the impact of those hijacked planes.

Did they not even think about just the title, let alone the contents of that and other PDBs on September 11th? Of course they did. They chose NOT to react. Why?

Someone gave the stand down order. Our government has a network of employees and/or advisors. Incompetence is not a reasonable answer. Aborted emergency procedures whether deliberate or accidental would still have been discovered by each step of the command chain - which is how all emergency systems are organized. So the buck stops with Bush*. No one else. If he wants to blame Cheney, because Cheney was the real person in charge, then he should be man enough and say so. If he wants to continue to pretend he is/was the top of the command chain, then he has to accept the responsibility that he did not fulfill his oath of office. He should resign or be impeached, and sent to jail for murder.

I'm an old lady. I have no experience in terrorism. I did not have the opportunity to read or listen to advisors about an imminent threat on our soil. But yet, I knew that morning what needed to be done, and I would have made damn sure our security measures were being followed and then find out who gave the initial stand down order.

Again, they chose NOT to react. For whatever the reason, many people in that chain have blood on their hands, and they need to take their lies and hubris and be sitting on death row.
