Of •course• the Netanyahu gov downplayed warnings of the Hamas attack. Of •course• Cheney admin officials downplayed warnings of 9/11. Why shouldn’t they have? An attack is their interest. It gives them the war they want.
I am not suggesting any sort of conspiracy, or even conscious desire to let specific attacks happen — just that passivity is in their interest. Stochastic war-stoking via administrative neglect.
