From: <JulieReneB@xxxxxxx> > If you think *that's* bad, wait till you read the open letter from the > whistleblower that I sent yesterday. We read it! We read it! There's numerous such incidents. Many of the people on the front lines were aware something was happening, yet the news was ignored or mishandled by "the head office". There's also many funny stories in the 9.11 Report. The Millenium Bomber was captured in Washington State, trying to sneak a load of explosives into the USA. The head offices were all yelling about the threat. But nobody ever bothered to tell the foot soldiers. So a US Customs officer, on her own initiative, noticed a nervous man and chased him down. The CIA wanted to fly an unmanned spy plane over Afghanistan to find bin Laden. The aircraft belongs to the Air Force. They then spend three months arguing over who is going to pay if it got scratched. You can't make this up or find it on The Onion. Goddess help anyone who is living in NYC. Their safety depends on the FBI, CIA, NSA, and so on. yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
