And after I started working for the Bureau, most of my translation duties included translations of documents and investigations that actually started way before 9/11.

The most important thing for people to get is we're not even looking at one big investigation, all these agents working together. They were chopped up and divided, but because I worked in the central place... other agents were sending their material to me... I was in this position to see all the dots being connected... These agents, while I was there, because I was the central person, they started connecting the dots.

I see people detained for simple INS violations.

We need to stop saying we can't rock this boat when it needs to be rocked.

Could we have prevented in 100% certainty? I don't think anything is that certain. However, we would have had a very, very good chance for preventing it.
