"One of the most disturbing claims"

The Senate Intelligence Committee has found that the story that military analysts had identified Mohammed Atta and "U.S. national security officials ignored startling intelligence available in early 2001 that might have helped to prevent the attacks." Well, that's a relief.

I'd have thought that the reports that the Bush Administration was behind the whole thing were more alarming than that, in fact, second only to the alarm caused by seeing those towers collapse over and over and over on TV. We can all sleep sounder tonight knowing that our military intelligence didn't know about the terrorists' plans in time to prevent them, can't we?
