Six years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the CIA warned in a classified report that Islamic extremists likely would strike on U.S. soil at landmarks in Washington or New York, or through the airline industry, according to intelligence officials......

The report specifically warned that civil aviation, Washington landmarks such as the White House and Capitol and buildings on Wall Street were at the greatest risk of a domestic terror attack by Muslim extremists, the official said.

"The writer went out of his way to avoid the name "Clinton."

Bingo. I read the entire article to see if Clinton was even mentioned. Nada. 'White House Counnter-terrorism Group' is as close as he comes. This approach comports with the Clinton era policy to always lay blame on underlings; a tactic the media was quick to adopt. I believe Reno only kept her job as long as she did because she was willing to be the sacrificial lamb for Clinton debacles, and her willingness to protect him from the DOJ.

Clinton had his hands full with other affairs, remember?

So had Monica.

"Gorelick is not on the 9-11 panel because of her brilliant legal mind. She is there to go after the Bush administration and to protect the Clintons."


Oh shock of all shock, wonder what the Clintons need protection about?

Wonder what dirty little dealings the Clintons had need to cover up, and were willing to sell out this nation to terrorists to protect themselves.

The "mother" of all "cover-ups", I sure do hope that bit of "intel" that came across their desks has not been destroyed, the smoking gun of 911!


Could this have come about over Foster's death??????

The Clinton administration reacted to intelligence like this with, for example, requiring that airlines single out no more than two arabs per flight for search. Think about it---you get intelligence that terrorists will use airliners to attack NYC targets and you react by making it more difficult for airport security to protect planes.

IOW, the intelligence that the Clinton administration had was not met with corrective action, was not met with inaction. INSTEAD it was met with actions to FACILITATE terrorist.

OK, I'm warning everyone! Something very bad is going to happen somewhere in the world sometime in the future! So, get ready and guard against any event, at any time, at any place. If you don't, I am personally going to blame you for not preventing it. Whatever it is... sigh.

"But by 12:01 PM on 20 Jan., 2001 it was clear that nineteen Al Qaeda planned to highjack four airliners and fly them into buildings in New York City and Washington, D.C. The Chief Justice handed the new President the list of the nineteen suspects' names and, along with the thousands attending the swearing in, urged him to do something."

I provided that in case you missed the ABCNNBCBS report on Mr. Solomon's story.

For you late night fans of George Norry's program who want to become regular guests on his show you might try this version. (A composite view of three regulars on Mr. Norry's show.) "Extraterrestrial lizards shaped-shifted into human form and appearing as Bush family males planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks. The lizard President's supporters, like 1930s Nazis, cheer his continuing violence."

A public service of WoC. Sometimes it's easy to forget what the apolitcal public hears.

Again, it's all pointing back to the one man who's pants were probably around his ankles at the time all of these memos were written and read. History is finally catching up with clinton. Too bad we can't try him for treason.

This article is fish-wrap. Anyone with an IQ above that of a Gambian Tree Frog, KNEW that eventually OBL/UBL would eventually attack us here on our soil.

Binny's attacks constantly escalated in 'boldness' from the embassy bombings to the attack on our warship, Cole. Now gee, what'ya think would or could be next? A dam tea party in Keokuk! But without actionable intelligence what was Bush to do? Arrest and/or roundup all 'suspicious' muslims? Oh yeah, the ACLU and the demoncRATS would've loved that.

Anyway, if this Gore-LICK skank doesn't resign from the 9-11 commission, it'll have all the legitimacy of the infamous Warren Commission. In english, that's ZERO. And IMHO, it's already at that point. They found the pristine 'magic bullet' that defied all laws of physics and this commission found Dick Clarke & the Aug 6th PDB.

No offense meant to Keokuk OR Gambian Tree Frogs.
