This guy from Time.com is not very impressed with Rand list of questions to FBI director Robert Mueller. He says Rand's questions are "pretty lame" and have mostly been addressed already. Congress has already done a sufficient job investigating the PATRIOT Act and all the questions about Zacarias Moussaoui have been answered in the 9/11 report according to him. Excerpt:


Paul’s questions are pretty lame. The first two are about the FBI’s investigation of two Iraqi refugees who were arrested last month in Paul’s hometown of Bowling Green and charged with being terrorists. Mueller and the FBI have already managed to talk down Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the GOP Senate leader and the senior Senator from Kentucky, on this issue.

Paul’s next question has been answered by multiple congressional inquiries, news organizations and independent investigators: how did the FBI drop the ball on Zacarias Moussaoui and other al-Qaeda operatives in the run up to 9/11 and what was done to punish those responsible? The 9/11 commission alone spent many pages on the matter. Similarly, Paul’s questions about controversial Patriot Act provisions have been the subject of lengthy investigations, including by Justice’s Inspector General and by Congress. Paul is also worried about the FBI’s attention to domestic terrorists within the anti-abortion movement.

TIME doesn't have any relevance anymore. I see it going bankrupt along with the NYT and other primarily paper publications in the future.

Why hasn't someone--the person who let these "terrorists" into America--been fired?

what's the FBI's excuse for not firing the superivsor that stopped the Moussai laptop investigation days before 911?

This idiot doesn't know what lame is. He should be locked in a room and forced to hear a recital of the 9/11 Commission's 'many pages on the matter' for hours on end. Then, perhaps, he'll have a clue as to the definition of lame...

Time: Clarifying an arrest of two "alleged terrorists" in a senators home town, is "LAME".

Get real. Time magazine is a joke and even they know it.

Pretty ridiculous. The comments section is filled with assholes. I wonder if they're even real people and not some propaganda bots.
