valdean writes "Last year, the White House declassified an August 2001 intelligence brief entitled: 'Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US.' Among other things, the brief mentions that Bin Ladin 'wanted to hijack a US aircraft.' So why was it ignored? Graphic designer Greg Storey thinks part of the reason is poor design. He set out to modify the format of the original document into a more legible one."

I mourn for this country's people every time I watch a porn movie and I see in the first titles: the Flag and the caption: 09/11/2001 ..we will always remember... But you cant expect from policemen to be intelligent, could you :)
