Thanks for providing a link for this. I saw something about this earlier in the thread, but I dont think I ever saw the link for it. I had never heard of this comment made by Rummy before I read this thread.

Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with Parade Magazine, Friday, Oct. 12, 2001
www.the7thfire.com...
To sum up Rumsfeld's explanation:
1) The warnings were there;
2) the Defense Department and the intelligence community couldn't figure them out; but anyway
3) it was up to the FBI, state law enforcement, and local police to uncover and prevent the worst terrorist attack in US history.
And here's something to kick around. Still answering this question,
Rumsfeld goes on to make a strange statement:
"It is a truth that a terrorist can attack any time, any place, using any technique and it's physically impossible to defend at every time and every place against every conceivable technique.
Here we're talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filled with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center.
The only way to deal with this problem is by taking the battle to the terrorists, wherever they are, and dealing with them."
"Missile"? What missile would that be? Did he let something slip? Or was this just a gaffe? A bad choice of words? A transcription error? Until we know for sure, it deserves scrutiny.

All partisanship aside. The "government" IMHO does some things the President or whoever we're told is in charge learns about after the fact, and is forced to cover up and use to his advantage accordingly.

All speculation.. I choose to believe that what ever you think is happening is a cover up.
