BUSH NOT TOLD OF MOUSSAOUI ARREST
CIA Director George Tenet never mentioned to the President in August 2001 the arrest of Zacarias Moussaoui, who had overstayed his visa and was learning to fly. We later found out he was to be a hijacker, so his arrest was fortunate and may have saved lives. But this failure by intelligence officials and Tenet to report their concerns about why an Islamic extremist would be taking flight lessons isn't going to be the big issue, after all, Tenet was a Clinton appointee. No, the Democrats are going say Tenet didn't tell Bush because Bush was vacationing in Texas. Like it was 1870 and the Western Union guy with the fast fingers wasn't on duty at the telegraph.

The AP is already trying to highlight that point with their headline. Imagine that.
