The Missing 13 Minutes......

One of the main reasons that I started this site was to try to keep us all informed of the terrorist threats that are currently putting the United States citizens at risk of an act of terrorism in our homeland.

As we all know by now, through the media, and various US Federal Commission, Congressional, or Committee reports, intelligence was known by federal agencies BEFORE September 11th, 2001 of an imminent terrorist attack, but Jane and Joe citizen was kept in the dark.

I am deeply concerned that the same type of silence by US officials is happening again.....I could be wrong, but all reports that I received about Osama bin Laden's tape, indicated that there was pre-election threat made on it...BUT, all copies of the censored 5 minute translation that I have seen, do not show that at all.

That 18 minute tape was dubbed 'A message To The American People', yet America was only allowed to see / hear approximately 5 minutes of it! What happened to the other 13 minutes? And why were attempts made to try to have Al Jazeera not air the tape at all????

Well folks, I don't have the answer to those questions, but I do feel we all have a right to know what was said in the missing 13 minutes. Even the jihadi's are wondering what happened to them.

I will be posting an analysis later today that will show you the threats that have been made in the past three years, and why November 2, 2004 is a potential date for a terrorist attack IN the United States.

I urge all of you to check back later in the day to read my analysis!

As much as I value Jill's insight, having worked in the intelligence community, I disagree with what she is inferring in this statement. That there were pieces of intelligence held by various LEO and Intelligence agencies is known and accepted. However, thanks to Clinton (and even before him - Democratically controlled congresses) those agencies were forbidden to share the intelligence 'pieces'. In 20/20 hindsight had these walls of separation not in place and everything else ideal, there was a chance that the pieces still may not have been put together. None of the pieces of intelligence specified the date of attack.

With this said, great care must be exercised by out government as to how much it reveals because it could cause unnecessary panic, expose sources, and interfer with efforts to capture the terrorists.
