- Mr Bush: If the purpose of the war in Iraq was to make America safer and provide a better future for the people of Iraq, why is it that upon taking Baghdad, American forces secured ONLY the Oil Ministry. Wouldn't they have had better luck finding information about WMD if they had secured the Defense Ministry? Why did they stand by as that building (and many others) were looted - protecting ONLY the Oil Ministry? Why were the known sites securing nuclear material not secured? Do we have any idea how much nuclear material (that could possibly be made into a "dirty bomb") is missing or was looted due to our lack of planning/foresight/appropriate prioritizing? Who's been held accountable?
- Why were Saudi family members allowed to fly out of this country in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 - a time when relatives of the victims were grounded? Further, isn't it common procedure for the FBI and other investigatory agnecies to question family members of suspects when a tragedy like this occurs? How many of the passengers that left this country were bin Laden's? Has nayone been held accountable for these decisions?
- Has anyone been fired for lapses preceding the attacks of 9/11? If not, why not? Given the widely reported increase in "chatter" in the weeks and months leading up to 9/11, and given the fact that Italy had the foresight to protect the G-7 meetings by surrounding the site with anti-aircraft guns, and given the warning you recieved in your PDB on August 6, 2001, who do you think the American people should hold accountable for not doing enough to prevent or mitigate the attack?
I've got more... I just can't think of them right now. Feel free to contribute.
