remember the "bush Knew" headlines from 2002? did everyone forget?
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/16/attack/main509294.shtml

(CBS) President Bush was told in the months before the Sept. 11 attacks that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network might hijack U.S. passenger planes - information which prompted the administration to issue an alert to federal agencies - but not the American public.

CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin says the warning was in a document called the President's Daily Brief, which is considered to be the single most important document that the U.S. intelligence community turns out. The document did not, however, mention the possibility of planes being flown into buildings.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said that while President Bush was told last summer that bin Laden's al Qaeda network might hijack planes, "until the attack took place, I think it's fair to say that no one envisioned that as a possibility."

--------it tells me that folks have accepted the fact that it was all an inside job 3 fucking years ago, and have moved on to more important things.---

but i've not got over it, not going to move on, and will never give up.

i'll take that fact to the grave with me, or to Gitmo II, whatever.
