One of the sub themes/ story threads is about a guy, IIRC, named Ronny Buca who was a reserve SF soldier and active FDNY inspector. He died in the Towers trying to save others. He had put most of the plot together, w/o access to classified data, had tried repeatedly to get something done and was rebuffed and ignored.
Another story thread is about a female FBI agent who had a good source whose intel was ignored and mishandled, as he tried to warn of elements of the plot. This is NOT the female FBI agent in MN, but one in the NY office.
The FBI screwed the pooch on this one.

NOPE!! As far as I am concerned a lethargic american society was to blame. Sometimes I think our national bird should be the ostrich who sticks his head in the sand so he won't be bothered by the dangers around him.
In your own words people were re-buffed and ignored. We don't want to be bothered. We just need to have a herd of scape goats to put the blame on!!
Had a president tried to enact the provisions of the Patriot Act prior to 9/11 he would have lost. God knows there is enough resistance now.
This happens frequently. How many times have you heard of a suicide or Columbine styly or Post Office massacre only to find that the signs were there all along but only recognized after the fact?
