I heard something a while back about the gov inviting a ton of Hollywood writers to Washington to brief them on outrageous possibilities. Sure would like to see what they came up with.

That's not a bad idea actually.

If you want to beat the terrorist, you must be prepared to think like one.

I'm not sure if that was an average slip or a comedic dig.

You comparing Hollywood writers to terrorists?

A writer may indeed have to think like a terrorist, though obviously for different reasons. Both the writer and the killer has to think up a scenario which will attract the attention--and perhaps stoke the fear--of the public at large. Shooting a random gas station attendant certainly won't long capture the attention of a public jaded towards such "routine" violence just as an action film about such a subject wouldn't be very interesting. If I'm not mistaken even the scenario of using airplanes to ram public buildings appeared in literature prior to the 9/11/01 attacks.

There appears to be many people here that see this almost as an act of god. Unaviodable, unforseeable.

I dissagree with those people. If any one element of the US security services had been on the ball. Any one of them. With leadership. This would have been not unaviodable but impossible.

And we would still be saying how did those stupid arabs think the could get away with something like that?

So all the its no ones fault votes have been recorded. Put me down as thinking that the people of the united states were betrayed by the incompetence of the most expensive and extensive intelligence and security agencies and capabilities in the world.
And their leader.

Brocoli is an antioxident (SP) and provides a good source of Iron. Maybe thats it!

How could have Bush gotten the CIA and FBI to talk to each other and ease the flow of threat information? Oh wait, I know... But remember youre against that little piece of legislation, arent you?
