the fact remains: The FBI - who works under the president - was well aware of arabs learning to fly jets and not caring to learn how to land. The duly alarmed field officer made his report - but the FBI could have given a shit about terrorism with all its concern for rooting out the evil pornographers in our midst - and the report never made it to the president's desk and that had nothing to do with FBI-CIA coordination.
I believe that the White House was made aware of the flight training concerns in late August, with little detail given. That was part of the problem built into the FBI, if they didn't have information that would lead to 'prosecution' they ignored it. They were totally involved in the legal part of things, a deadly mistaken policy.
Should Bush have immediately reversed that policy? Yes. But he agreed with Clinton, until 9/11.
