9/12    Oliver Stone time. There is evidence that FDR was informed about
        a possible attack on Pearl Harbor and didn't do anything because
        he wanted the US to get involved in WWII. There is also evidence
        that the USS Greer was depth charging a german u boat under orders
        from Wilson and the Sec. Nav etc when it was attacked leading us
        into WWI. Is it possible that Bush knew and didn't do anything
        so that we could get involved in another war?
        Also consider the recovered "evidence" in Boston. That is such
        a setup, but by whom? The feds (fbi,cia), the administration,
        or the real terrorists trying to throw the investigators of
        the trail?
        \_ You are giving them too much credit.
        \_ The CIA did it to boost their budget.
           \_ Maybe so:

5/9     If U.S. doesn't do assissination, then what do you call
        Operation Neptune Spear aka "Mission Kill Bin Laden"?
        \_ I think theoretically the difference is that the goal of one is
           "kill him/her", while the goal of the other is "capture him/her,
           and don't hestitate to shoot with the possibly of killing if he/she

5/4     So, Bin Laden, star of Fox News, dies at 51.  But really the
        question is, when are we declaring war on pakistan for
        1. harboring a known terrorist
        2. taking our money ($ billions) for "antiterror" operations?
        Clearly we got scammed here.

1/4     Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
        security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
        train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
        sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
        still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
        apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.

12/4    you know the 1999 ending of ST:DS9 shows the protagonists working
        as terrorists, and all worried about a police state coming for the
        federation.  Funny timing, no?
        \_ At that point in time there was a bit of sympathy people were
           starting to extend to "freedom fighters"; vis a vis all the
           popular support many pro-palestine movements were going on -

askCNN Expert blames US spy underfunding LONDON, England (CNN) -- Defence experts have blamed underfunding in intelligence as a possible factor in suspected terrorists being allowed to strike at the US with such devastating effect. Hijackers managed to get on board and then overpower the crews and passengers of four domestic flights before targeting the planes like bombs at the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington. com, that the failure of US intelligence to prevent these attacks could have been the result of a general shortfall in spending on traditional spy activities. Jane's Defence Weekly The article, written by Clifford Beal, says: "One possible contributing factor to this failure of the intelligence and security system could be the lack of resources the US has devoted to human intelligence (HUMINT) capabilities throughout the past decade." While it acknowledges that high levels of funding have been devoted to national technical means such as surveillance satellites, signals intelligence flights and other eavesdropping technologies, HUMINT has been overlooked. HUMINT, made popular during the Cold War, involves methods such as analysis, linguistic skills and the cultivation of agency networks. Jane's adds: "This latest act of terrorism, although the most horrific to date, is not the first time that the US government has been caught unaware. "Indeed, the subject of 'asymmetric warfare' the use of terrorist methods to strike at weaknesses in the societies of western countries -- has been a significant worry for strategic planners in the US for most of the 1990s." It points to the 1983 suicide bombers' attack on US military locations in Lebanon, which resulted in its withdrawal, as well as the destruction of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, and the bombing of USS Cole in Yemen in August 2000. The US senate select committee on intelligence recognised last month the need to boost investment on HUMINT. It approved an increase in such funding under the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002. No group has claimed responsibility for Tuesday's meticulously planned and co-ordinated attack, but one name that has been mentioned is the Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden, living in Afghanistan. His group Al Quaida group has denied responsibility and members of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban have condemned the attack. But Jane's says: "As far back as September 1999, Jane's Terrorism and Security Monitor (JTSM) reported that law enforcement agencies were fearful that bin Laden's group was preparing for a series of new attacks on US targets, especially financial targets in New York." It adds: "To provide advanced warning against, and to help avoid, the kinds of attacks that happened in New York, a long-needed overhaul of US intelligence capabilities may be forthcoming."
