The British gave us two separate reports about terrorists using commercial airlines as attackers.


From what I read, Egyptian Intelligence gave the U.S. info saying that "20 al qaeda operatives slipped into the U.S. and that four are training in Cessnas".

According to the Loose Change documentary, our government was running drills on a hijacked airliner.

I believe they either flat out knew, or are more incompetent than what anyone could believe.

The row about whether the September 11 attacks could have been averted has begun to focus on the US attorney general, who is accused of playing down the terrorist threat in the first months of the Bush administration.

Nevertheless, he began using a chartered private jet to travel around the country, rather than take commercial airliners as Ms Reno had done. A justice department spokesman said this was done as a result of an FBI "threat assessment" on Mr Ashcroft, but insisted that the assessment was not specifically linked to al-Qaida.

But Mr Ashcroft stopped using commercial flights in July (2001), just as the intelligence "chatter" about a possible al-Qaida strike on US soil was getting louder.

Which perfectly frames my point...

Even if someone respected told the CIA "soon, terrorists will use a commercial plane to attack a building, we know this for a fact" the rest of the conversation would go as follows:

CIA: "Ok, what airport will it be?"

Foreign Intel: "Don't know."

CIA: "...what state will it be in?"

Foreign Intel: "Don't know."

CIA: "Will the plane depart from the US at all, or be international?"

Foreign Intel: "Not sure."

CIA: "Ok, well can you at least say what you mean by soon? As in tomorrow, or next spring, or in a year?"

Foreign Intel: "Soon."
