"Criminal Negligence" Caused 9-11

This is electric. Bush and his cronies could have prevented 9-11.

The FBI agent who arrested Zacarias Moussaoui in August 2001 testified Monday he spent almost four weeks trying to warn U.S. officials about the radical Islamic student pilot but "criminal negligence" by superiors in Washington thwarted a chance to stop the 9/11 attacks.

Samit told MacMahon (The lawyer defending Moussaoui) he couldn't persuade FBI headquarters or the Justice Department to take his fears seriously. No one from Washington called Samit to say this intelligence altered the picture the agent had been painting since Aug. 18 in a running battle with Maltbie and Maltbie's boss, David Frasca, chief of the radical fundamentalist unit at headquarters.

They fought over Samit's desire for a warrant to search Moussaoui's computer and belongings. Maltbie and Frasca said Samit had not established a link between Moussaoui and terrorists.

If this level of negligence had been displayed by Clinton he'd be in jail by now if the right wing press had their way.

Why isn't every national newspaper carrying this story and talking about this?
