I think it's really hard to tell who is crying wolf, who simply wants to seem like a player but is actually a wannabe (some of the Americans arrested in terrorists plots since 9-11 might be in this group), what's just crazy ranting, and what's really going to go down. I'm kind of amazed we ever have good intelligence.

I think that we may have had the knowledge at some level but the intelligence services were so competitive instead of cooperative that that information never would have gotten passed along. I'm not saying that Bush knew and didn't say a word.
