Dante once said that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those
who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

Bastards!

From ThinkProgress.org:
  • Flashback: Seven years ago today, Bush received ‘Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.’ memo.
Digby adds this:
Seven years ago today:
An unnamed CIA briefer ... flew to Bush's Texas ranch during the scary summer of 2001, amid a flurry of reports of a pending al-Qaeda attack, to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US."
Bush reportedly heard the briefer out and replied:
"All right. You've covered your ass, now."
