From 9/11 to ISIS - Time to start asking, what did they know and when did they know it? [View all]

The word is finally out on the streets. Months before the 9/11 attacks the Bush Administration's inner circle had forewarning and they responded like CEOs that were in the business to sell widgets instead of protecting the citizens in this country. Their strategy involved tamping down on information to avoid responsibility. And it worked wonderfully for them. Many of them have managed to continue their careers earning a salary as consultants or were still allowed to have a relevant say in the news. They never faced consequences for their decisions

Question now is, who else knew? In this age when leaks are common and nothing really remains secret for long, who else knew about this and kept quiet or worse, were complicit in the cover-up that followed. I can think of one or two reporters that are suspect.

I think we need another investigation to find out what really happened because we're still dealing with tragic consequences from that era.
