Got Clue?

Got Clue? - I'm not asking that in the post-ironic "get a clue" sense of the term. I'm talking about the classic whodunnit board game "Clue".

It would seem to be where most of the american left learned its investigative skills.

The "PDB" - in the media, there is only one - says, in essense, "Bin Laden wants to hurt us. Among many other possibilities, he might hijack planes". In other words; in and among all the things Bin Laden had already done on Bill Clinton's watch (huge car bombings, assassinations), they might do...what terrorists have always done. Hijacking - something that until 9/11 had always been a publicity stunt, but rarely lethal.

No mention of using planes as cruise missiles to topple skyscrapers and attack the political and military command structure directly.

According to the nattering left, though, based on the next of the PDB, the President should have been able to guess, just like the climax of a game of Clue - "Al Quaeda, at Logan Airport, on 9/11, with the planes, into the World Trade Center, at 8AM".

Read it yourself. Be honest - what does it tell you? Don't be like some on the left, who think that high office grants some sort of absurd clairvoyance.

What does the PDB tell you?

Captain Ed has been doing some great analysis of the PDB and the 9/11 commission's work, and he's been linking to even more.
