Operation Foxden, delayed by turf war between the FBI and the CIA, given green light three days before the al-Qaida attacks.

The US government shut down a series of court cases arising from a multimillion pound business dispute in order to conceal evidence of a damning intelligence failure shortly before the 9/11 attacks, MPs were told.

Moreover, the UK government is now seeking similar powers that could be used to prevent evidence of illegal acts and embarrassing failures from emerging in court, David Davis, the former shadow home secretary, told the Commons.

On 9/11 too. 40 minutes between second impact to towers, and our biggest DEFENSE building does NOTHING. These stories about what could have happened only if about 9/11 make me sick. The fact that the Pentagon didn't protect itself or D.C. should sound the alarm, but for some reason to some it's acceptable, and believable. The Pentagon COULD have PREVENTED the attack on themselves, and they did NOT. Think about that. 40 minutes............Boom! Billions of dollars on DEFENSE, 40 minutes...........Boom! Just that easy.
