The Man Who Knew - John O'Neill was blocked from investigating bin Laden.

2. But, the fact he died on 9/11 is just another "coincidence" from that day.
:sarcasm:

3. There was one major security breach prior to 9/11.
He left a briefcase in the lobby and went to answer the phone. He thought that the people around him would keep an eye on the briefcase. But it was gone upon his return.

I understand it was found in the thief's motel room.

I'm really stretching my memory to say that in the briefcase there may have been security plans pertaining to the WTC, where he worked the day he died.

Does anybody know if they ever retrieved matching DNA?

4. In the documentary it says the briefcase never left the briefing room.
Which was full of intel operatives from the FBI,CIA etc. Although there was classified intel,there were only his prints on the documents.

5. You might want to do searches of the Washington Post's archives.

You might find an article that was published within a month or year prior to 9/11.

6. yes! and the media can stop glowingly praising B*sh (Tweety gushed) today, let's get back to
the facts...

They really really blew it in defending America. The Pentagon was hit, both Trade centers were destroyed, and several planes full of people along with tons of responders were killed by the B*sh administration's massive lack of taking action before 9/11 with all that they were hearing and seeing in reports, and failed to work with the FAA and military to prepare for real-world attacks.

11. I know... it's just shocking.
I can only think, if they didn't have anything to do with intentionally allowing/planning it, that they screwed up massively because large organizations are so slow to respond to problems, and react to problems. The FAA tapes make me literally C-R-I-N-G-E at their absolute ignorant sounding comments they told each other as information was relayed to them about the hijackings. x-Commander AWOL, B*sh, saying he wanted to portray calmness to not terrify the kids is a joke. He used them as props minutes later and his backdrop as he said we were under attack, with the kids back there staring forward. Cheney should be in shackles for all his crimes. Again, shocking if they didn't know, because the Partnership for a New American Century PNAC wanted a "new Pearl Harbor" before Dumbya got put into office, so who knows. I just can't stand the praising of Dumbya, it's nauseating.

12. yes
these people are brazen and the public is dumb down. A Slow motion train wreck that is still flying off the track. Same with the banksters, how long will it be before justice is served, maybe never.. I no longer believe.

9. They "hit the trifecta", that's why they are laughing.
And that is NOT a joke, they said so. I hope in all the coverage someone reminds the public about that.

And I hope they remind the public of the fact that Bush received 52 warnings about an attack on the US and simply ignored them.

Yesterday I spoke to my SIL, who was worried about the news of a possible terror attack. I said, assuming she knew, that at least if there really was a threat, it would be taken seriously this time, unlike what happened with 9/11. She asked me what I meant by that. It's ten years later and she did not know about the warnings Bush got, especially the one which practically told him it was coming, soon. She was stunned. Thank you MSM for the great job of educating the American people!

10. The corporate media (R) is not going to say anything insightful
or ask any uncomfortable questions. They didn't do their jobs 10 years ago, and they are just not going to do their jobs now. I have no faith in the corporate media -- they are a part of the RepubliCorporate Borg.

13. I find it interesting that it wass Freeh's Boys that blocked the investigation
Seems the boys might have been bound and determined to have their Crusade, no matter what the cost in lives and Treasure.
