(17,656 posts)It was totally tragic and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but I just couldn't figure out how such an intricate attack like that could occur considering our defensive capabilities, what with NORAD, the CIA, the NSA, and even the FAA.
I just didn't think it could ever happen.
It didn't occur to me until much later, not until after Thanksgiving that year, when I had been talking to some of my other family members, that the only way something like that -- something that was that big, that horrific, and that intricate -- could ever happen in this country without having a lot of inside help from within the Bush White House.
I don't know whatever happened to George Tenet, or what he is up to these days, but he is going to have to come forward some day and tell us what he knew on September 10th that allowed that attack to take place.
