Your lists are always way to long for me to follow up on, but big props for compiling them anyway.

and this is nice bite-size piece of news - encapsulate *everything* criminal about this mis-Administration!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A30219-2002May16¬Found=true

The White House yesterday offered a detailed timeline showing that President Bush was first told on Aug. 6 that Osama bin Laden's associates might be planning airline hijackings -- speculation that was repeated several times in briefings the president received leading up to Sept. 11.



As the administration sought to contain an uproar over Bush's handling of information he received before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice told reporters that the intelligence briefing given to Bush at his Crawford, Tex., ranch included two references to aircraft hijackings.

It mentioned the possibility that bin Laden and his operatives might be planning to hijack an aircraft "in the traditional sense" and might seek, for example, to exchange passengers for the release of imprisoned Muslim cleric Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, who had been convicted of plotting to blow up New York City landmarks.

But Rice said Bush was not told, and U.S. intelligence analysts never envisioned, that terrorists would use jetliners in the type of suicide attacks carried out in New York and Washington on Sept. 11. Rice and other administration officials said that the threat was not specific enough to warrant a public warning, but that the Federal Aviation Administration urged the airlines to be cautious.

and this
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines02/0518-04.htm

The top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush on Aug. 6 carried the headline, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.," and was primarily focused on recounting al Qaeda's past efforts to attack and infiltrate the United States, senior administration officials said.

The document, known as the President's Daily Briefing, underscored that Osama bin Laden and his followers hoped to "bring the fight to America," in part as retaliation for U.S. missile strikes on al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan in 1998, according to knowledgeable sources.

Bush had specifically asked for an intelligence analysis of possible al Qaeda attacks within the United States, because most of the information presented to him over the summer about al Qaeda focused on threats against U.S. targets overseas, sources said. But one source said the White House was disappointed because the analysis lacked focus and did not present fresh intelligence.

New accounts yesterday of the controversial Aug. 6 memo provided a shift in portrayals of the document, which has set off a political firestorm because it suggested that bin Laden's followers might be planning to hijack U.S. airliners.

they even had the TITLE back then

WHY didn't it happen THEN?

will things change this time?

On Sept. 7, 2001, Jeb Bush signed an Executive Order (No. 01-261), delegating "to The Adjutant General of the State of Florida all
necessary authority, within approved budgetary appropriations or grants, to order members of the Florida National Guard into active service ... for the purpose of training to support law-enforcement personnel and emergency-management personnel in the event of civil disturbances or natural disasters and to provide training support to law-enforcement personnel and community-based organizations relating to counter drug operations. This Executive Order shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of its revocation or June 30, 2003."

"This Fla. EO places the Florida National Guard (which is not a lawful
militia), a unit of the Federal U.S. Army, in control of all Florida law enforcement (State FDLE, County Sheriffs, and local PD's) and the Florida Emergency Management department (Florida's FEMA under federal FEMA control). Remember, this was 4 days before the WTC disaster."

"Jeb then signed Florida Executive Order No. 01-262 immediately
after the second WTC tower fell. Florida was the first STATE to declare a 'State of Emergency' and did so before New York State or the Federal Washington City leaders did, yet there were no "terroristic" incidents that had taken place in Florida.

"Florida EO 01-262 states, in part: 'I hereby declare that a state of emergency exists in the State of Florida...'"
