There were terrorists among us and we knew.

The AP brings us the following:

WASHINGTON - The Sept. 11 commission will investigate a claim that U.S. defense intelligence officials identified ringleader Mohammed Atta and three other hijackers as a likely part of an al-Qaida cell more than a year before the hijackings but didn’t forward the information to law enforcement.

Although this is a interesting development and illustrates why the Patriot Act is so important, I hope that we don't jump on the bandwagon of "It was Clinton's fault because he was President at that time." It might seem like an easy swipe to take, but I believe that there was simply no way for us to know the evil the Al Qaida cell was planning.

It is only important to use this information to move forward and keep our country safe NOW.
