Luck, and that it was built better than they knew.

As for getting the ringleaders, that's always the illusive goal, isn't
it? Same with the drug war. And for every ringleader that *does* get
caught, there's a huge expensive legal battle to follow, and an eager
(and possibly more dangerously competent) #2 man to fill the shoes.

That is not to say that I think it's a waste of time going after them...
just that it's an order of magnitude (maybe several) more complex &
difficult to find and successfully prosecute them, than it is to get the
operatives & agents.

Meanwhile, it appears that President Bush is having a lack of success at
getting the ringleaders, too. Any comment on that Calif Bill? So far the
only ones he's gaffed are from Iraq... which is pretty much of a
sideshow & a red herring in the war on terrorism.


...The fact they tried and failed actually saved lives on
9/11. There were people who said to stay in the building it was safe and
those that had been through the earlier event, were smart enough to say.
Nah. We're leaving. The locals are in jail, but the financiers and planers
aren't.

A lot of the financiers, and possibly some of the planners, are being
actively shielded by the Bush Administration. Why do *you* think they
are stonewalling the Sept 11th investigation? Why do *you* think that so
many Saudi officials, and the Bin Laden family, were all given free
rides to secure locations? I don't think that BushCo was actually
complicit, I think they just had their heads in the sand because after
all, Clinton getting a blow job was more important... and they are
arrogantly positive that their 'friends' must be above suspicion. In
fact John Ashcroft seems to think it's a point of law.
