Interesting - FBI had an "informant" on 9/11 that they called 'muppet'

I'm looking for it.
But both agencies can share in the blame.
The role of the F.B.I.'s San Diego informer has become important to the Congressional committee because he is linked to the two hijackers who have come under the most intense scrutiny in the joint inquiry. Mr. Midhar and Mr. Alhazmi, who were among the hijackers on the American Airlines plane that crashed into the Pentagon, were identified as Qaeda operatives by the C.I.A. in January 2001. But the C.I.A. did not ask the State Department to place their names on a watch list intended to prevent entry into the United States until late August. By then, they were both in the country. The C.I.A. passed on information about the two men to the F.B.I. in late August, but by then the bureau had little time to track them down.
This guy Bowditch was in San Diego,too
