Easy, if you take a specific position on a subject, you should have some type of facts or knowledge to support your argument. You linked your argument to an article that was vague, and talked about the possibility of attacks or hijackings. You seem to think this shows Bush or the intelligence community knew about 9/11 before it happened. As you know, since you're a decorated writer with intimate knowledge on foreign policy, the public does not know the full context of the information to include the credibility of the sources at the time the information was reported, and sporadic intelligence makes it difficult to implement meaningful preventive measures. Spare us the "I wrote a book on it" next time, and your argument could be more interesting.
There is nothing vague about the Presidential Daily Briefing saying that "Bin Laden is Determined to Strike in U.S." and that gives details about some raw data. Of course all of you attack a tangential point (whether that constitutes "knowing") rather than the real point - because you have no defense for that.
And I couldn't give a rat's ass if you don't like that I wrote a book that is on that subject, if it threatens you or others or whatever. I mentioned it only because YOU, in your unintellectual lazy, ad hominem (sorry for the big word!) way said "It's quite obvious you know shit about intelligence, to include running and vetting sources."
What is obvious is that when you have to resort to personal attacks and cussing, you have nothing of substance to offer.
