Salon.com News | Report: FBI informant knew 9/11 hijackers Generally, i've been somewhat unwilling to assign "blame" to failings here in the US Gov't over 9/11. I find it hard to say "you should have known _______ was gonna do something utterly insane." I don't think it serves much of a purpose. that being said, look at this link. i have to think something is amiss when you have an undercover agent living with 2 of the hi-jackers before the attack. i mean they weren't followed...hell not even a heads up. i dunno. sounds damn bad.
