hey, actually I have a question here. Today is 9.11 again and here at work we are discussing whether it is especially dangerous or save today. My collegues think it is especially dangerous but I think that those terrorists are kinda celebrating today and thus it is no real danger of a terror attack today. What do you guys think?

There are good and bad people in every group. There are more good than bad or we would all be dead right now. The technology we need is how to reform others to do what is just and prevent more tragedies. The key is still compromise!!! No single group of people is entirely bad it is just the bad apples that ruin it for the rest of us. One technological advance that would be good is to have more secret agents allover the world. The more the better and it takes really special people.

We have the best security in the world. Do we have the best technology?? Maybe not and that could be the cause of 911 so, we must keep up and get better with technology every day!!

This is just more evidence telling us why the Central Intelligence Agency isn’t central to the government’s intelligence community any more. Scheuer has always maintained that senior intelligence officials cover up their mistakes and gaffes. But there’s plenty of blame to go around. You have a President and Vice-president who don’t like truth spoken to power, and so people like Tenet tell them what they want to hear. You have the Senate and House Intelligence committees asleep and negligent in their oversight duties and they are accused by the CIA of leaking classified information all the time. I suppose what is truly sad is that you had a premier intelligence service that got used to the Cold War game and that couldn’t adjust to a changing world. That inability to adapt, and the fact that the CIA basically became the equivalent of the President’s personal daily newspaper. All the news that fits in a 15-30 minute presentation. How the secret and the mighty have fallen.

We agree because, it would be very easy for each criminal group to have CIA, FBI and all law enforcement agenicies!!! The supervisors are supposed to look after these people and Congress ect… Just like in the military there are secret people watching what goes on. IF people knew who then they could take over the world. That is not possible now. Technology is too good and secret forces are too good!! There are even secret societies watching Muslim and other religous groups.

If they had no prior knowledge the cell phones must have been blocked or the terrorists spoke in code ect.. It was such an easy job for them we must find the true reason. Do you think they used more advanced technology we have not obtained yet?? Some claim the people killed were all bad people based on information kept up by the Government since, the 1940s phone records. There are so many claims who knows which one is right before it is too late??? Everyone is very happy Gonzales resigned today we have been told. I have read how advanced the CIA and FBI are so, if it was an inside job others would have known in those agencies unless other methods were used. It would be great if we had more spies that could interact with these people and get the word prior to attacks because, most likely they would only have a few minutes prior for response time. Good luck!!! If they could text the agencies with the touch of one button everyone could show up in time to stop it. They could do it in a more secretive way that would notify the 911 line ect…that would buzz only at those agencies by using a watch or some other unique device.

Yes, but you don’t have any evidence for such an outlandish claim.

The agencies all knew about 9/11 before it happened. Get it straight.

Same old BS, isn’t it! Let’s not rock the boat by admitting error, and by all means let’s sweep it all under the rug and hope that the Public never hears about it. But if the Public does happen to hear about it, be secure in the fact that the Joe Average doesn’t really understand or care and nothing will be done about it.
