The false Beltway script never changes
The same people who warned the Democrats they were going to lose in 2006 for opposing the President are saying the same thing now.

    kd6rxl, what's the necessity for professionally trained terrorists to "phone Waziristan"- or anywhere- for instructions?

    Is there any evidence that the 9/11 hijacking crews relied on intercontinental telephonic communication to carry out their plans?

    It's well-known in intelligence and law enforcement circles that there's such a thing as casting too wide of a net, and swamping out important information with clutter...in regard to Waziristan, say- how many Pashto translators do we have, to make sense of the increased volume of intercepted calls? Are they fluent in the Pashto dialects and colloquialisms of Waziristan?

    Or is this about something else?

    There was plenty of evidence available to law enforcement and intelligence agencies on the identities and possible doings of the 9/11 hijackers, the vast majority of it available through legal means that preceded "USA-PATRIOT." The data was there, it wasn't connected. The answer to that problem doesn't reside in trashing the U.S. Constitution.

    ( Note: See the 9/11 timeline at Complete 911 Timeline/Warning Signs: Specific Cases http://cooperativeresearch.org. )

    Meanwhile- How many of our jetliners have reinforced bulkheads and sky marshals, 6 years after Sept. 11, 2001?

    Yours truly, a "non-leftist"...
