Did we forget already? The 9-11 terrorists were finalizing their five or six year plan. The CIA was having a typical bureaucratic day pushing paper around and the FBI was doing the same. Newly elected George W. Bush was planning a trip to Texas to visit school kids and a couple of frantic FBI agents were trying to get the bureaucratic monster to consider possibility of another attack on the World Trade Center. If George W. Bush made any mistakes, the most egregious ones were not firing every bureaucratic Clinton appointed drone. After 9-11 happened there was practically no criticism of the "intelligence network" and nobody went to jail for criminal negligence. The government doesn't always get it right but they are absolutely the best at covering their own asses. The acting Clinton A.G. who issued an order preventing the CIA from sharing intelligence with the FBI or face criminal charges about six month before 9-11, was appointed to the investigative board rather than being a target of the investigation.
