North should still be locked up for betraying America.

The Republican Congress of the 1990s ignored VP Al Gore’s "Gore Commission Report on Aviation Safety and Security". The Commission’s recommendations would have stopped the 9-11 attacks dead – but the Republicans fellated the airline lobbyists instead of protecting America.

I remember the Ollie North trial, but not much of it was aired on local news channels. Just goes to show that the US was warned about the threat, and even at one point had him in custody, I believe around the time of the first attack on the World Trade Center.

Al Gore should be locked up for betraying America.

Here’s another famous Gore blunder:

Gore To Bush: You Ignored Saddam’s Terrorist Ties!
Al Gore lashes out face-to-face at President Bush, Sr. in 1992, accusing him of failing to act on Saddam’s nuclear weapons and WMD programs.

However, it seems that the above conversation never actually occurred. Osama bin Laden was still working for the CIA in 1987, and the terrorist North referred to was Abu Nidal.

No ones cares about Gore but cons and no one would blame a person for not wanting to kill someone they knew little about. But thanks for reminding us what crap North was.
