It's a weird deal in that the political/media establishment acts like people are out of line for questioning authority. As if one is somehow advocating for al Qaeda by wondering why the intelligence community acted so strangely.

How could it be wrong for the public to wonder why the intelligence community was obstructing al Qaeda investigations before 9/11? If anyone was advocating for al Qaeda it was some people in the government who have never had to explain their conduct.
