Anything they may learn from us would be a tipoff that could allow terrorists to adjust their plans and succeed in carrying out an attack that could cost tens of thousands of American lives and perhaps result in the utter destruction of a major U.S. city.
That's why they won't talk about this publicly -- yet.
As the President has repeatedly said: this is a new kind of war.
History will judge President Bush far more fairly than the Leftists do today.
Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)
In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”
The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden “will strike America on the arm that is already hurting,” and that the US “will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs” – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, “New York, New York”.
