I'm still not sold on the idea that anyone, much less W., could have prevented 9/11, so I can't say that I agree with every point in this article. The hijackers weren't stupid (except for the part about them getting kicked out of stripclubs), and even if three of the teams had been stopped at the airport, just one group being able to complete their mission would have been catastrophic. The two points that have inflamed my bile are that for months this administration used its media shills to blame the whole thing on Clinton, and that it kept its prior knowledge, no matter how scant or imprecise it may have been, secret from not only the American people but from Congress as well, even going so far as to deny it had any foreknowledge of what was to happen on 9/11.
