Excellent find. I didn't read the link, but the title and date alone is enough to make one spew...(that NYT article sure must look good on Mr. Johnson's resume).
You really should read the article (it's not on the NYT web site) and get a really good look at one of the reasons the CIA had such crappy intelligence before 9-11.

"I didn't read the link"
El Cid, it really is worth reading to see how far off base this Johnson clown was/is. For instance, there was absolutely no reference in his analysis to the 1993 WTC bombing.
