| Molten Ash Posts: 28 | I decided to analyze the events leading up to and following 9-11 through the lens of standard operating procedure. I think it works to answer a lot of the issues with it. Just a note this is coming from a democrat mindset, so the fellow liberals around here don't simply try to pass it off as taking up for bush. Let me know what you think if you have the desire to read it all. http://www.commonamerica.org/sop911.html |

| Igneous Magma Posts: 333 | The "CommonAmerica" article linked above doesn't go into the follow-up of the 1993 WTC bombing, other than to say it seemed an anomaly and didn't earn "top priority" with our investigative dunderheads. There was a lot of intelligence gathered surrounding that bombong because the entire "cell" was tracked down and convicted, what happened with that intel for ten years?

| Hot Lava Location: Glendale, Queens, New York Posts: 970 | commonsense, The 10 mile high brick wall dividing the intelligence agencies from each other. This also, includes the "it's my agencies - not yours" mentality and mindset, so why should we share? This problem was also prevalent in various departments within the agencies, and therefore added more complications and inefficiencies. It was like a 5000 piece puzzle - being put together by 50 people from different agencies, however, 5 of those people remove various pieces making it impossible to "connect-all-the-dots. Hopefully, with the DHS, things will vastly improve.

it was about 9/11, that is why I did not spend much time addressing 93 WTC bombing. From a SOP standpoint though it was a mess. The various agencies kept bumping heads in trying to figure out what to do in response. In the end all we ended up doing is just arresting the people we found to be involved, mostly because you had 3 or 4 SOP coming in conflict with each other and nothing could get done. That is the point of DHS is to bring all these under one, and make it more overall unified so that when something like a terror attack comes up you do not have 4 agencies trying to employ their own SOP, rather you just have 4 agencies working together to sort through a single SOP. There are potential disadvantages to this, which I also did not talk about, I'll address that in a later article. <!--QuoteBegin-PhanthomOps gregh, The article is extensive, informative, basically accurate and very well written.
