Hayden introduced some common sense into the mass of ill thought-out assumptions that have been coursing through the MSM.

But he says that "we did not know anything more" because prior to 9/11 "Mohamed Atta and his fellow 18 hijackers would have been presumed to have been protected persons, U.S. persons, by NSA ".
Terrorists protected by our own laws and institutions. Terrorists prevented from discovery. Terrorists allowed to go on planning their murderous attacks without molestation. The result was the World Trade Center and surrounding buildings coming down with the deaths of thousands of Americans. This is the time to which leftists in America want to return....................
