The Phoenix FBI agent who warned that Osama bin Laden was using flight schools to train terrorists two months before the Sept. 11 attacks said Saturday that "they are going to try and hit us again."
In his first interview since his now famous memo was written, Ken Williams told The Arizona Republic that Americans must reclaim the sense of unity and purpose that gripped the nation three years ago to thwart the next terrorist attack.
"We are in a war with people who really want to hurt us," he said Saturday. "In my opinion, it is not over."
Williams, who eschews being called a whistle-blower, talked about the years following his memo, the personal toll of watching the World Trade Center collapse and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's effort to combat terrorism.
"I don't consider myself a whistle-blower. I take exception to that word," he said. "If you look at the world prior to 9/11, we were prevented from doing certain things. We were victimized by our own restraints."
The interview came after members of the Military Order of World Wars presented him with the group's national Law and Order Award during a luncheon in Tempe.

AP - The FBI agent who wrote a memo warning that terrorists were training at flight schools before the September 11 attacks said concerns over racial profiling may have prevented officials from acting on his intelligence.
"If you look at the world prior to 9/11, we were prevented from doing certain things. We were victimised by our own restraints," Ken Williams told The Arizona Republic in his first interview since writing his now-famous memo in July 2001.
