Well, the CIA and FBI are actually pretty capable turds, who had a considerable amount of information that should have allowed them to stop the 9/11 event in advance, if they'd just worked together and shared information, instead of bureaucratically sitting on their hands, and the way FBI management complacently downplayed the significance of the information their own agents were warning them about, and did nothing about it, until one of their own blew the whistle in a lengthy letter to the FBI director, well after September 11th.

I've said it before, that I don't suspect Bush or his administration of any complicity in anything illicit. But if I were President, then I'd definitely want every last detail explored, to fix any procedural gaps and allow a rapid response in the event of a repeat situation.

The fact that Bush and his administration resist all attempts at a common-sense investigation CREATES suspicion that would otherwise not exist.
I don't like any administration that thinks it should be above investigation. I objected to Clinton's lack of cooperation with investigators, and I object just as strongly to Bush's lack of cooperation.
At this point I don't think Bush is guilty of anything, but I still think Bush's resistance to full investigation is arrogant, counterproductive, and is largely responsible for the suspicion raised against him.
