9/11 Hijackers Booked Tickets at Library

THE Bush administration revealed today that some of the September 11, 2001, hijackers booked their tickets on the internet using a computer in a college library in New Jersey.

The disclosure by Ken Wainstein, US attorney for the District of Columbia in testimony to the House of Representatives subcommittee on crime, terrorism and homeland security, was intended to bolster the government's argument that Congress should renew a law allowing it to seize library and bookstore records.

~Shouldn't that library, not named in the above story, be destroyed? Bombed? Invaded and occupied? It was harboring terrorists. It's computers were responsible for aiding the most horrendous acts of terrorism ever against American citizens on American soil. How can they allow that building, those computers to continue to exist?
What if the FBI learned that 9/11 terrorists used a neighbor's home computer to book tickets instead? Imagine what those neighbors would have gone through?
