Something tells me that it won't be much of an issue at all.......get the sense that people don't care that they *might* have been lied to.

I made this comment without reading the article as well, just my feeling of the general issue at hand

To clarify, I don't read this to mean that the documents were ordered to be destroyed before 9/11. I read it to mean that pre-9/11 documents on Atta were ordered to be destroyed after 9/11. I saw another story on it earlier in the day that made that a bit clearer, I'll have to see if I can find it.

It's fucked up either way, but it does have an impact on how it should be taken -- it's the difference between incompetence and trying to cover something up.

Yeah, wether that info is to be destroyed before or after 9/11 makes little difference, it's incomprehensible that any info on such a high profile enemy of the state would be destroyed...fuck, 2.5 terabytes must be almost his whole damn life described in detail! I imagine it even holding info as to where and when little Mo did a big doodoo on the potty by himself for the first time and what kind of dress his mommy was wearing while the cleaned the mess up afterwards...

"Weldon described the documents as ?2.5 terabytes? ? as much as one-fourth of all the printed materials in the Library of Congress, he added."

come on now, 1/4 of all the info is or was on this one person? someone is full of it. but thats no surprise. Why is this country always so focused on who DID what instead of focusing on how can we stop this from happening again. It always seems very counter productive, and does nothing more than split the country instead of every one coming together to solve the issue.

questions, so many unanswered question, new ones every day, IF we haven't been lied to, we certainly have not been told the whole truth either

I agree with you when you say that things of this nature tends to split the country...however, focusing on what someone did or didn't do can help us in the future by showing us what shouldn't be done in the first place. Now, whether or not these things can be corrected is another story.
