I’ve been waiting for Ledeen to chime in. That was pretty good. He took a lot of heat for the Rome meeting (this site has an accurate–as far as I know–recap)–perhaps this is the beginning of vindication.

Their superiors blocked the analysis for a much more important reason: It didn’t fit with what the policymakers wanted to believe.

This is the crux, isn’t it? And it’s an across the board indictment. Now, what do we do about it?

Has anyone here read Cover Up: What the Government Is Still Hiding About the War on Terror by Peter Lance?

Ever since 9/11, investigative reporter Peter Lance has been leading the fight to expose the intelligence gaps that led to 9/11. Now, in the follow-up to his bestselling 1000 Years for Revenge, he returns with devastating new evidence that the government has been covering up its own counterterror failures since the mid-1990s–and continues today.

In it he claims evidence that TWA 800 was one very big dot leading to 911 that “the policymakers”, for whatever reason, did not want connected. I admit to being a Flt 800 conspiracist, but I know nothing about the validity of Lance’s claims.
