The line that homeland security is the reason for no more
attacks....What was the reason in all the years prior to 911?

You seem to have conveniently ignored the other, failed al Qaeda attempt
to
level the WTC some years before 9/11.

You're correct of course....FBI did nothing to prevent the attack.
Guess the system works eh?

Whose system? Al Qaeda's? Yeah, that one seems to work. Ours? Nope,
that
one's broken and so far no one seems inclined to fix it.
FBI--CIA--NSA--they all grandstand and do everything they can to take
credit
for successes, all the while racking up more and more failures due to a
complete inability to cooperate and share intel.



Rather nicely confirms my contention that the system is broken, eh?

As long as incompetence and resistance to cooperate is the norm in
Washington--both in politics and in police work/intel--we can expect more
of
the same. I'm watching to see if our new Homeland Security system accrues
a
better track record, but I'm skeptical, human nature being what it is. So
far, so good, but the verdict is still out, of course, on HS.

My point excatly.
Smoke and mirrors...no gain

Except that you've given no explanation why we've not been subjected to
further terrorist violence on these shores since HS was created and
implemented. I don't have the answer, but neither do you. So, until we get
attacked again, HS get the benefit of the doubt. *If* we sustain another
9/11-style attack, then your opinion will be vindicated. If not, your
opinion would appear to be inaccurate. That's not being duped--it's simple
logic.
