News: Did the Bush administration ignore FBI warnings about Bin Laden and a possible terrorist attack? -- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A25829-2002May16.html. But Condoleeza Rice defended the administration's inaction -- http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/05/16/bush.sept.11/index.html

Comment: It looks like at the very least some heads should roll at the FBI. Historian Victor David Hanson wrote that free societies like the U.S. are much stronger in war, because they can air their dirty laundry and learn from their mistakes. Let's hope this intelligence mistake prevents others in the future.
