My friend, Timm, has constantly encouraged me to connect the dots.
This article does exactly that.
Take the time to read it. (sorry, it's common dreams).
Timm, notice the WTC paragraphs in the middle.

Well crafted piece....shrill in its claims of Administrations culpability on 9/11! The accusation that Bush caused an "atmosphere of terror" is ludicrous....We had never been attacked this way. We, as a nation,whined about our rights being abrogated,our delicate sensibilities trampled, and demanded that the pain and reality that someone hated the US go away! Well...it's not going away. Nobody in Politics acted correctly to gather info on the clandestine enemies of the U.S. For that,we are embroiled yet again in a no-win situation. As the article stated,much is circumstancial and some of the dots are pure conjecture. But it's good that somebody is watching somebody.

Timm,
I'll just thank you for taking the time to read it.
Though I don't agree with your critique on some points, I do agree that this is a "no-win", and the shame of it is that our young men and women continue to die for it, and that's not circumstantcial or conjecture. That's real, my friend.
