Agent Who Saw 9/11 Lapses Still Faults F.B.I. on Terror
'She said that many of her colleagues share her view that an American invasion of Iraq would result in a wave of new domestic terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups and that the F.B.I. was ill-prepared to deal with the new threat.'

'"The bottom line is this," Ms. Rowley wrote in her Feb. 26 letter to [FBI Director] Mueller. "We should be deluding neither ourselves nor the American people that there is any way the F.B.I., despite the various improvements you are implementing, will be able to stem the flood of terrorism that will likely head our way in the wake of an attack on Iraq. What troubles me most is that I have no assurance that you have made that clear to the president."'

The President doesnt want to know... The only 'link' that exists between Iraq and terrorism is that American/Israeli violence on Arabs is the cause of the terrorism. Bush is educating the American public on this essential point in a way that a dozen books by Chomsky could never. It is unfortunate that thousands of Iraqis (and possibly thousands of Americans) will have to pay with their lives for this knowledge.
