"Sept. 11 I was actually on this campus (the civics center). It was 8 o'clock in the morning, and I was extremely upbeat," Al-Arian said. "I was supposed to have an 11 o'clock conference call from a group in Washington D.C. that they were supposed to meet with President Bush."
The topic of discussion, Al-Arian said, was to ensure the benefits of the Immigration and Nationalization Act stood firm. Al-Arian said eight Muslim leaders were meeting with Bush to discuss a bill passed in 2001 that states no alien be denied a benefit under the act based on evidence that is kept secret from the alien.
"For the past four years I was fighting very hard for the outlaw of secret evidence," Al-Arian said. "At 3:30 the president would have announced the end of secret evidence."
Sounds like what was supposed to take place at 11 A.M. on 9/11 was Al-Arian's conference call with the Islamists who were to meet Bush. Since Al-Arian give 3:30 (P.M., I assume) as the time when they were supposed to have the president's assurance, their meeting with Bush was apparently scheduled for the afternoon.
