Court Clears Way For FBI Agent's Book, But Retired Colleague Calls It A Hollow Win

[simuvac]

I don't think Robert Wright thinks incompetence "thwarted" him from doing his job...

they battled their bosses to get out their message that the FBI bungled terrorism investigations and was ill-equipped to prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

Sorry, Jon, but that really sounds like the incompetence argument to me.

Another aspect of this that makes me uneasy is this:

Weeks after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Wright submitted his manuscript to the bureau for pre-publication review.

Even the most prolific writers would find it difficult to produce a 500-page manuscript just "weeks" after 9/11, especially since, I'm assuming, the guy would have much work to do in those weeks, right?
