Letter: Bring back the people who know how to spy
Tuesday, May 16, 2006 | 7:47 a.m.
If George Bush is really concerned about finding out if there are going to be future attacks on the United States by al-Qaida, why doesn't he hire the people who discovered that information in the first place? He was handed a report long before Sept. 11 that stated "Al-Qaida determined to attack within the United States" once before.
I'd say that's pretty damn good intelligence gathering. And I'll bet the intelligence agents who came to those conclusions didn't listen in on 10 million domestic phone calls to gather that information, either.
These same intelligence agents found Osama bin Laden for George Bush. Bring back the people who knew how to do their job!
Michael Donelson, Las Vegas
