Now Bernard Kerik Had foreknowledge of 9-11? Pass the tin foil, I'm beginning to think I'm the one needing it.
That's "might" "uncertain accuracy" etc. You draw an inference that is not supported. It reads like the point was only that some curious actions were being taken just prior, and what it all means is not conjectured. So are you saying that Kerik -- the NYC Police Commissioner -- was certain to have been kept 100% out of the loop of even vague strategic threat assessments (like the Aug. 6 PDB) and chatter? If so, then you underestimate greatly just how important New York is in the nationwide operational management of counter-intelligence/counter-terror -- to the CIA and FBI (both with key staff in the city for those tasks prior to 9/11) as well as the role of the NYPD intelligence section (that's why the NYPD was the first non-Federal law enforcement agency in the nation to gain access to INTERPOL databases this past summer).
