From rereading the article, it does not appear that she is implicating Bush, etc. I determined the following:

"US officials knew months before September 11, 2001, that the Al-Qaeda network planned to use aircraft to commit a terrorist attack,"

What officials? Her supervisor? Head of FBI? How could they know if it was in the backlog that she was hired after the attacks to translate?

" that there was no such information was "an outrageous lie"."

A little off the mark, there was information but it was in backlog.

"based on documents she had seen during her time with the FBI, after September 11, it was "impossible" that US intelligence officials had no forewarning of the attacks."

Again, if she saw them, they were in the backlog of things to be translated. How could they see it if it was not yet translated?

"There was, however, general information about the use of airplanes and that an attack was just months away"

Again, how could they know if the information had not yet been translated.

It does not seem that she blames Bush, but seems to forget that if she was involved in translating the information then it was too little too late. Yes we had the information, it just was not available for anyone to do anything about it before 9/11 happened.

Agreed! But the liberals (including the press) will do everything they can to make it appear that the Bush Administration "withheld information". If they can, they will keep this going for several months, then after the election they will say, "Oh, we didn't think Bush did anything wrong".

She didn't translate a single word before 9/11/01. She was not hired until after 9/11/01. So what information could she have possibly gotten that would be relevant to what the FBI or the White House knew prior to 9/11/01? Answer... None.
