There's more speculation that top U-S law enforcement could have done more to stop the September 11th terrorist attacks.
A new report says the F-B-I and C-I-A were clued in to two of the hijackers ... yet the men came and went as they pleased ... even getting a new visa.
Teri Okita has more from Washington.
