(1,464 posts)Interesting how the feds can be proactive when they want to--for instance I believe the FBI team that went to investigate Paul Wellstone's plane crash actually left Minneapolis before Wellstone's plane took off from Minneapolis.
But when it comes to following around two known al Qaeda agents to see what they're up to and who they're up to it with--when al Qaeda's plot to fly hijacked airliners into the WTC has been known since 1995 and when those two agents have bought TEN airline tickets dated 9/11/01 under their own real names (or so says Bob Woodward)--they can't seem to get it together. Government incompetence, don't you know.
To be fair, I'd like to know the timeline on this story. Very possibly the FBI were already keeping a protective eye on the bin Ladens in Kentucky to keep them safe from local bigots and, if so, then as soon as they heard on the radio about an attack on the WTC they might phone the guy who was assigned to watch them and tell him to move them.
