Institutional Culture - We've long

Institutional Culture - We've long known that the Minneapolis FBI office had a hint that Zacharias Moussaoui, the alleged "20th Hijacker" who was arrested in the suburbs of St. Paul a month before the terrorist attacks, had some inkling they were on to something.

Today - word from the WashPost that the institutional culture of the FBI may have thwarted the further investigation that might - just might - have flushed the 9/11 plot before it happened.

The allegations - from a career FBI counsel - hinge on senior FBI officials' careerism - which came before solving cases.

Scary stuff.
