I think at least Condi knew and understood, because she was asked during a hearing if she knew Al Quaeda was planning to attack, she said yes. And remember, Bush and Cheney would not testify under oath. I'd also like to point out that the passengers on Flight 93 were led by Cal Berkeley rugby players in their assault on the hijackers.

I'll take you at your word that Rice admitted she knew. What I remember clearly is her smiling assertion that the 9/11 attack could NOT have been prevented. The mere fact that dimbulb W chose her, a Soviet expert, more than a decade after the dissolution of the USSR, and not a Middle East scholar as his national security adviser tells me that they did not recognize the growing threat from Islamic fundamentalism

Those are good points, but my dislike is more visceral. She's part of the Stanford crime family.
