It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist to note that they did all they could to slow, hamper downgrade, dismiss anti-terror measures, and even appear to encourage a terrorist strike on U.S. soil. Of course there is the PNAC statement that the Iraq invasion would not be possible absent a new "Pearl Harbor," but even absent that, their inaction alone amounts to criminal negligence.
It's all well and good to be disgusted with Clinton, who wasn't, but ignore his national security advisor when he says terrorism will be your number one priority? Accept the fat file he hands you but admit later it sat unopened on your desk until September 12? Cancel weekly to biweekly meetings on Bin Laden until September? Add layers between the NSAdvisor and the counter-terrorism czar, and ignore his warnings, delaying any meetings on the subject despite "flashing red lights" and "people running around with their hair on fire?" This just grazes the surface of their criminal inaction.
Then there's the Justice side. Look into John O'Neill, who resigned in disgust after being shut down as head of the Bin Laden task force.
These ruinous people have damaged our nation for decades and the Republican party may not ever recover.
I don't even need to read about squibs of smoke and the physics of steel melting at one-tenth its normal temperature.
Of course the voting system is broken and constitutional protections are trashed, so I could end up in some pogram just for reading and commenting on the news.
Sigh
