1. tasty. those Brits work fast, huh?

bush couldn't catch our culprit because he picked the wrong countries (even before the attack.)

2. Note to Bush:

THIS is how it is done.

3. From my perusal of the record ...

no criminal investigation of 9/11 was conducted. It was, I believe, FEMA, that "investigated."

4. Can we put the Brits back in charge - just as caretakers - until we

get our act back together and can act like a grown up great power? Please let us back in the UK, we were naughty.

Tell you what, we'll let you have Texas, you can keep it (except Austin).

5. Intelligence Gathering

I could be wrong; but shortly after 9/11, wasn't there talk about how we, as a country, needed more or better intelligence gathering? I mean I think I remember there being some discussion about a lack of intelligence gathering capabilities in the form of actual people on the ground. It was a problem that we didn't have as many as we needed.
If this is true, how can republicans call the CIA leak a partisan attack? In exposing a CIA agent, don't others in connection with her also get exposed on some level? How likely is someone to become a CIA agent knowing that they could be exposed by someone abusing power for political gain? How is this issue partisan? It's an American issue...not a democratic issue. The fact that the republicans are defending Rove rather than condemning his actions doesn't say much for them; but other than that, how is it a partisan issue?

9. That's precisely why this story is breaking the back of BushCo.

Payback time. A bit late - but probably couldn't happen until after we clearly lost the war in Iraq.

The revenge of the national security community on the House of Bush will be terrible to behold.

8. is schmuckk spelled with two or three k's? or is that only in front of

distraction kkkarl "Tokyo" rove?

10. London Bombers Had Ties to United States

Phone Records Show Link to Suspected Terror Recruiter

July 15, 2005 — One of the bombers in last week's attacks made a direct phone call to a suspected recruiter for an extremist group in New York.

Authorities told ABC News that records show Mohammed Sidique Khan, the eldest of the bombers now believed to be the field commander of the attacks, had called a person who is associated with the Islamic Center, a mosque in Queens, N.Y. Yet, a member of that mosque claimed they had no knowledge of the phone call.

Police said El Nashar, who denied any involvement in the bombings, left England shortly after he rented the house in Leeds, where they discovered a so-called bomb factory. Neighbors in the Cairo suburb told ABC News he arrived there about 10 days before the bombings. They also said they had trouble believing El Nashar could have participated in the attacks.

Now the search continues for another man, whom police believe to be the al Qaeda mastermind of the plot. Authorities said he was on a secondary watch list and believe he crossed the channel by ferry last month in order to elude detection. Hours after the attacks, the man left again by ferry and is thought to be returning to Pakistan, where al Qaeda is known to have bases.
