In a retrospective last year my local paper (the Fresno Bee)
reported that on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, our local Air
National Guard pilots (the ones on ready alert, as two supposedly
are at every base 24-hrs per day) were already in the cockpits of
their planes, ready to fly, before the second plane hit the World
Trade Center. And I have wondered, if our Fresno Air National Guard
pilots were ready, why weren't those who guard NY? Or Washington?
And if they were not, if they were AWOL, why haven't heads rolled?
Because regarding 9/11, that keeps being referred to as the
greatest failure in security in our history, no heads have rolled.
I remember President Bush going down to the CIA to put his arm
around Tenet and thank him for a job well done. It's all cockeyed.
Unless Michael Meacher is right.
