Did we really have no idea 9/11 was coming? Did the commision hide the truth?

[Adrian II]

Welcome to Wonderland, turn back now, chasing rabbits through the strange tunnels of politics can be damaging to you brain.

Well said.

Yet we do that all the time, Mr President. My own country tragically resembles Watership Down from time to time, with half the population dressing up in rabbit suits and the other half chasing them. You'll forgive me for sparing you the details; one's national customs do not bear close scrutiny. But a recent case in point from the U.S. was the arrest of a man charged with an old racist murder. I seem to remember that particular rabbit rather caught your fancy, Sir.

And after being subject to a terrorist attack in which three thousand people died, any nation would be prepared to chase rabbits down any hole anywhere in the world in order to find out the truth about the act, the circumstances and the individuals responsible. I am not surprised at all that this issue comes up again and again, notwithstanding the facts that there are Congressional elections around the corner and that there is a Mr Rove who wants to see his Plamer case 'neutralised' at all costs.
