- Go to Able Danger: The Story the News Media Wants to Ignore
Hmmmmm . . .
After careful analysis, Damon, I'd say that failures by both the Clinton and Bush administrations does run cross-party. But your theory breaks down on a couple of points:
- Bubba also awarded no-bid contracts to Halliburton.
- Bringing Carlyle into this proves nothing, as Michael Moore is also involved with them.
- If you want to follow some money, how about following some of Saddam's oil-for-food kickbacks through Bubba buddy Marc Rich to his ex-wife Denise to her donations to the Clinton Library and Bubba's defense fund (see http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/12/13/101107.shtml)?
Just a thought . . .

This is...
...an interesting story, and it probably is cross-party.
But try this on for size.
It may be that, as you say, the intelligence was there and no one acted on it.
It's a very short leap to suggesting that the intelligence was there and no one CHOSE to act on it.
In defence of this possibility - and i'm not suggesting it's true, just a possibility - do what every investigator does, and follow the money.
911 -> Afghan invasion -> Iraq invasion -> no-bid contacts for halliburton, sky-high oil prices for Big Oil, and a jolly old time for the arms industry.
Cheney is a Halliburton man. Bush is an oil man (albeit a failed one). The Bush fortune is built on oil. And both the Bushes and the bin Ladens are entwinned as investors in the Carlyle Group, which is heavily involved in Halliburton, Big Oil and the arms industry.
Yes, it's circumstantial. But IF the intelligence was ignored by the Bush White House, then it seems more than a happy coincidence that the Bush family, the Cheney family and many others have significantly profited from that 'mistake'.
Just a thought.
