http://www.crisispapers.org/Editorials/PNAC-Primer.htm was pretty much what I'd been looking for. This general knowledge is a perfect exaple of the 'why' question posed by this board; why would the government carry out or allow this to happen? Impatience from the PNAC and it's various members led to the eventual plan to help or knowinlgy allow the terrible happenings on September 11, 2001.
I have to say that was a pretty amazing post. Host, you are taking steps to do some real good in our country. I respect you for that.
