pre-9/11 phone call
A letter has been sent by leaders of the House Judiciary Committee to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, demanding that he explain a recent public statement that federal authorities failed to intercept a call from suspected terrorists in Afghanistan prior to the 9/11 attacks, when doing so could have prevented the attacks from taking place.
Mukasey blamed that failure on a lack of the sort of warrantless wiretapping authority that the administration has now called on Congress to provide. However, there has never been any previous mention of such a call, and the Judiciary Committee letter -- signed by Chairman John Conyers and two subcommittee chairs -- points out that the law that existed at the time would have allowed the call to be intercepted immediately, with permission granted retroactively by the FISA court.

They recieved a phone call about the impending attack, and they wanna say they needed warrentless wiretapping ? did I miss something here? If they would have followed procedure the attacks never would have happened, so what is it incompetence or was it purposely allowed to happen in order to implement there agenda?
Bits and pieces of the Real story is starting to come out.
