No! Really???

This really bugs me. Again, we have information that US Intelligence (nearly an oximoron now) has had since the Clinton Administration and someone is just reporting it now. Yes the information was just declassified, but if you ever read Against All Enemies or Imperial Hubris (both best sellers), you would be able to make an educated guess to the same effect. It begs the question, is this all being pursued to assign blame (subtext: take some heat off of the Bushies for failing thus far, perhaps?) or to find a pattern, crack the system and solve the problem. I truly hope its the latter.

To boot, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of video and audio tape that bin Laden and his crew have put out stating EXACTLY what they want, think and plan to do. Why are we waisting time and money on something that seems a bit political, like trying to figure out who screwed up?
