I'm a very, very liberal person. To a fault, even. I still am not 100% convinced that al Queda had anything to do with the attack on the WTC. I haven't seen conclusive evidence of all of the strings being tied up. However, I have seen a good bit of information, thanks to the 9/11 commission report, etc.
Anyway, I don't think that 9/11 could have been prevented by Abramoff, etc.

<b>Disclaimer</b>: I am not saying that these thugs had any connection to 9/11 attacks.
I am saying that our president has no credibility and that he got that way via his own poor judgment and via the judgment of the folks who he chose to appoint, or take money from, or associate with. When a POTUS chooses to have a key assistant (Susan Ralston) of a man like Abramoff, come to work for him in the West Wing of the white house, and continue his own cozy relationship with Abramoff that apparently dates back to at least 1997, and has a history of attempting to impede our right to know about what did happen on 9/11 and what he did or did not consider before going to war in Iraq, things like the following should be considered. There is much that we do not know, but we should be vigilant. I guarantee that we are in for more surprises and disappointments from our federal elected officials:

"Employees on a SunCruz gambling ship that sails from John's Pass think some of the hijackers in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were gambling on the ship the week before the attacks. One name on the passenger list from a Sept. 5 cruise is the same as one of the suspected terrorists' names, [Michael] Hlavsa said. A cash advance was taken out on that passenger's credit card, he said."

"In addition to Atta, 33, and Al-Shehhi, investigators are telling business owners that Nawaq Alhamzi, age unknown, Ziad Jarrahi, 26, and Hani Hanjour, 29,
stayed in Las Vegas off and on between May and August. They say the group -- which chillingly included a hijacker from each of the four flights -- made at least six trips here."

And this is an offense to my intelligence and that of all Americans who don't have wool for a hide:

For now the reports above seem as curious to me as this line, near the bottom of the page, in the 9/11 Commission Report :

"To date, the U.S. government has not been able to determine the origin of the money used for the 9/11 attacks. <b>Ultimately the question is of little practical significance."</b>

Note to mods...if you haven't accepted that the truth is becoming stranger than fiction in Washington, there is already a place for posts that are deemed too contraversial for TFP Politics:
