From WashingtonsBlog 
Everything Happening Now Was Planned Before 9/11.  
We’ve been told that “9/11 changed everything” and that we’re living in “a post-911 world”. 
We’ve been told that what our government is doing now has been rendered necessary by the urgent post-9/11 threat from terrorists.  
In reality, however, virtually everything happening now was planned before 9/11. Please see for yourself:
  • The Patriot Act was planned before 9/11 (and see this). Indeed, former Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke told Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig:
After 9/11 the government drew up the Patriot Act within 20 days and it was passed.
The Patriot Act is huge and I remember someone asking a Justice Department official how did they write such a large statute so quickly, and of course the answer was that it has been sitting in the drawers of the Justice Department for the last 20 years waiting for the event where they would pull it out.

  • The Afghanistan war was planned before 9/11 (see this and this).
