Louis J. Freeh hated computers and directly from this flaw can be traced the FBI's inability to properly handle information. So when all the warnings came, the system had a lot of excuses for ignoring them.
I have no proof about Freeh,
Were are preparation before 9-11 adequate?
If the preparations were insufficient who was responsible?
Don't use the excuse that they couldn't have predicted it.
It was predicted by different people, but wouldn't fly with management. I believe I remember this occurring at one of the Intelligence groups. The manager who shot it down was one of the people squawking the loudest, that they couldn't have predicted it. I think he got promoted. If someone could help me on this one, thanks
One theme I keep running into is incompetence and suppression of possibilities was a good way to get promoted.
I believe another poster referred to me as a useful idiot.
Bush was not smart enough, but Bush did have Rove, Rumsfield, Cheney, Pearl, and Feith +misc.
I will define a useful idiot a person who doesn't need to know what we are really using him for. A general lack of intelligence may not be as useful as a personally quirk that can be exploited.

I have no proof about Freeh, but he was in Bush the Elders stable when he was appointed by Clinton. Who had oversight over the FBI and why didn't they get wind of the dysfunctional situation unwinding in the FBI? About this time mid (1990's) oversight committees were also changing personnel.
I had a frightening thought several years ago (yes, thoughts frighten me), I began to suspect some very long term planning, and the existence of at least one mind more powerful and more cunning than mine.

Sorry bad copy at start
What is missing from the 9-11 report?
The 19 did have external help, why attack the Taliban if they didn't?
Osama Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan.
We succeeded because we didn't tell the Pakistanis that we were going to play Whack a Mole in their country.
They destroyed the evidence to make sure that no other story would have support. >99% of the buildings no longer exist, to me that is destroyed.
The buildings falling down, the missile at the pentagon, are pretty much irrelevant. You can argue yourself blue. The official story has the only evidence when it comes to the WTC. When you look at the evidence, it is incredibly spotty. But with the majority of the evidence that could change that story destroyed, no alternate story is possible .
This technique was repeated in going to war with Iraq. Except in Iraq they could not destroy all the evidence. Valerie Plame was part of the Blow Back on that one.
The evidence will lead to the truth. Those who were blocking access (and I am not talking about this forum), are slowly being removed and replaced by Obama.
The day when, (not if), it cracks, will go down as one of the most important days in American history. Important, but not happy.
I don't think when the complete story is told, it will make anybody happy.
One of the goals of the Patriot Act and one of the duties of Homeland Security is to protect the guilty when that day comes.
Don't worry these are just the ravings of a lunatic.
Do you know any good Knock Knock jokes?
You failed to get this right. The CVR supports the Passengers taking action and the pilot flew the plane into the ground. Anyone can fly a large jet, and the terrorist had no problem flying it before the attack on the cockpit. When attacked the terrorist pilot pulled 3 to 4 gs and flew erratic to keep the Passengers from attacking, and the terrorist discussed ending it before the Passengers could take back the plane. It is clearly seen in the FDR the terrorist flew the jet into the ground. You failed to check the FDR and read the transcript of the CVR. Big failure, nearly 10 years to figure this out and you failed. Better try harder next time.The last information I had on flight 93 is that their 4th best pilot lost control and crashed it. No indications of a struggle in the cockpit. I believe one of the flight recorders survived, showing the maneuver history. Just bad piloting.

Not without orders they wouldn't.
No SOP for the rules of engagement either.
That's it in one of the nutshells. That's why the change was made in June of 2001 to the response procedure.

Exactly what changed? Not a darn thing for emergencies. Hope you have not fallen for lies, made up to mislead those who can't think for themselves.That's it in one of the nutshells. That's why the change was made in June of 2001 to the response procedure.

70 days and counting, above ground fire having burned over 200,000 acre's shared by Florida and Georgia...
It's above ground and they can't control it with all that water we have...man...
While the Okefenokee is best known for its swamp, this moisture has done little to prevent further destruction. One major reason is that the region is in the third year of a drought, significantly decreasing water levels in the region.
Another complication is the terrain: The swamp makes it hard for bulldozers and engines to penetrate into certain areas. Curry said six helicopters and 76 fire engines have been assigned to fight the blaze.
"Accessibility is a problem, and you don't want to upset the water flows," the spokesman said of the sensitive environmental area.
