The 9/11 Cover Up - R.K. Locke - 10-06-2014
Nothing particularly new here but it's a well-collated and interesting set of clips. Richard Clarke in particular delivers a bravura performance...

Having watched this video, I am not quite sure what Richard Clarke said "they got away with." Did they get away with incompetence? Did they get away with being unable to to handle inter-agency squabbling? What does he think they got away with? Or is he as vague as usual?

Ya this is just another limited hangout. Let it happen on purpose at best. Same old same old. Had the info but did not share.

It seem apparent that this sort of disclosure and the "public outrage" accompanying it would be used to justify "easier" (read: "warrantless") law enforcement access to the wealth of data at the NSA. Legally (and now that the program is public knowledge, politically), you have a choice: You can either put the illegally acquired information in the hands of "local" law enforcement, making them more effective at stopping the bad guys (but less likely to obtain court convictions); or you can let them struggle along without it, making them far more likely to secure convictions in the work that they complete. The third option is to provide local law enforcement with the illegally obtained information and instruct them to perjure themselves about its' origin. Guess which option we're using now? Seems unlikely that this third option will survive public disclosure.
I expect that there will be a fair bit of debate about it in the 2014 and 2016 campaign cycles. Please make your position known to your representatives if the topic arises.
