Another one for the library. (http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/tableforone/2007/nov/05/why_another_9_11_book)

The real problem is worse. It’s called bureaucracy. Why were 19 terrorists able to kill 3,000 Americans? Because U.S. intelligence agencies never adapted to the end of the Cold War and the rise of a new enemy. In particular, the CIA and FBI were —and still are—hobbled by organizational structures, cultures, and professional incentive systems that didn’t give them a fighting chance against al Qaeda.

A valid observation, I think.

Hehe...


Finding #5: Conspiracy theories are alive, well, and baseless
9/11 conspiracy theory books sell. A lot. And I get conspiracy theory questions nearly every time I lecture about my book. So for the record: I found not a shred of evidence supporting any kind of Bush administration conspiracy. Apparently, however, that may make me part of the cover-up cabal.

She sounds pretty sound on 9/11. May have to read this.
