Come again? My own introduction to this link was only a few sentences
long, and said no such thing, and I don't even recall such a thing being
stated by the author of the piece I linked to......
As for the rest of your links, while they are mildly interesting, they
hardly are supportive of your political attack. Nevertheless, I thank
you for adding these links to your very substantive responses and critiques
to the proposals in the piece I linked to, and for refraining from
unrelated political attacks of questionable basis. One of these links,
about Ashcroft flying chartered jets seems wholly irrelevant to either my
topic, or the topic you are trying to change this discussion to. Most
of them suggest that the major failings occurred among mid-level officials,
and certainly don't suggest that Bush was "asleep at the switch." For
example, the ABC article notes that while the Bush Administration did
receive warnings of potential hijackings, this was but one of many warnings
that are received all the time, the biggest concern was for overseas
hijackings, and no warning was received that the hijacked planes would be
used as weapons.
