"When you're one of the intelligence analysts trying to sift through 2 million communications intercepts per hour"

When a bunch of those messages add up to "we're going to fly loaded passenger airplanes into the WTC, maybe those could rise to the top. Maybe? Some info is more important than other info?

C. Rice explained it this way - "I read those, and didn't think they warranted further investigation." (She's the NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR.)

You see, there's a song in all those notes. If your intelligence people just see notes, GET RID OF THEM. AND THEIR BOSSES. Find people who will pay attention to the song. It was sung to them by their own (FBI) people.

And these are the people who want TIPS - for more information.

Somehow, rational folks may think that some messages are more important than others. Some folks may think that being told foreigners are being trained to fly planes into buildings, not land them, not take them off, might be a tip. And, the FBI knew that.

Oh, well. I sleep better at night knowing Bush doesn't and didn't have a clue.
