Hank, back to the point -- is your story that Condi, as National Security Advisor, was unaware that al-Qai'ida posed a threat prior to 9/11?
Isn't the right answer to this memo that of course we knew those things, whether we got the memo or not, and it was all a question of setting priorities based on the best available information, and, sorry guys, we screwed up, just as many had before us?

What you just said has been my position on this Forum from the start- with the proviso (sp?) that given the failure by Billy to take action AFTER prior attacks Bush had more limited options than Billy did- still what you said.
The other thing that needs to play into all of this is some understanding of how many memos she got per week.
Like the report from 95 about planes flying into buildings- okay that was a good prediction- but where they on 20 pages of paper in 2000 boxes of reports? I just don't see what any of this shows w/o perspective of how many scary reports come out per week.
