Today I heard a Cheney statement on NPR, saying IF Bush had had the power to bug two of the 9/11 hijackers, 9/11 could have been prevented.
And then the NPR announcer mentioned in passing that Bush actually HAD that power since the hijackers were not citizens.
In other words, this is an inadvertent admission from Cheney that his administration is so inept that they failed to bug two of the 9/11 hijackers, and this quite likely caused 9/11.
Thanks assholes.

The Cheney, quote is from today at the Washington-based Heritage Foundation. I found it several places on the web, e.g.
here I found this:
``If we'd been able to do this before 9/11, we might have been able to pick up on two of the hijackers who flew a jet into the Pentagon,'' Cheney will tell the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, according to speech excerpts released at the White House. ``We didn't know they were here plotting until it was too late.''
BTW...good job on the part of the NPR announcer. Had it been your typical main stream meat puppet, the only comment might have be a Chris Matthews-ian "Fair enough."
