Frank Rich, from behind the firewall:

In last week's oration at a right-wing think tank, [Cheney] defended warrant-free wiretapping by saying it could have prevented the 9/11 attacks. Really? Not with this administration in charge. On 9/10 the N.S.A. (lawfully) intercepted messages in Arabic saying, "The match is about to begin," and, "Tomorrow is zero hour." You know the rest. Like all the chatter our government picked up during the president's excellent brush-clearing Crawford vacation of 2001, it was relegated to mañana; the N.S.A. didn't rouse itself to translate those warnings until 9/12.


Yes, even granted the powers of a full totalitarian regime, these clowns couldn't stop the next 9/11.

Maybe it's because it's not really 'fighting the terrorists' that they're interested in.

Ex-Bush White House Whore: Are you happy now?

Within 7 Months, 3 Sept. 11 Workers Die

And just to refresh your recollection, you said this:

[O]n Sept. 13, 2001, the EPA issued the following statement: "Monitoring and sampling conducted on Tuesday and Wednesday [Sept. 11 and 12] have been very reassuring about potential exposure of rescue crews and the public to environmental contaminants ... the general public should be very reassured by initial sampling."
