(9:59 a.m.): Clarke Told Some Hijackers Have al-Qaeda Connections

Counterterrorism “tsar” Richard Clarke is told in private by Dale Watson, counterterrorism chief at the FBI, “We got the passenger manifests from the airlines. We recognize some names, Dick. they're al-Qaeda.” Clarke replies, “How the f_ck did they get on board then?” He is told, “Hey, don't shoot the messenger, friend. CIA forgot to tell us about them.” As they are talking about this, they see the first WTC tower collapse on television. [Clarke, 2004, pp 13-14] Some hijacker names, including Mohamed Atta's, were identified on a reservations computer over an hour earlier.

(After 10:06 a.m.): Al-Qaeda Agents Heard Saying we've Hit the Targets

According to Newsweek, “shortly after the suicide attacks,” US intelligence picks up communications among bin Laden associates relaying the message: “we've hit the targets.” [Newsweek, 9/13/01]

(11:00 a.m.): Customs Claims to Determine the Names of All 19 Hijackers

Robert Bonner, the head of Customs and Border Protection, later testifies, “We ran passenger manifests through the system used by Customs—two were hits on our watch list of August 2001.” (This is presumably a reference to hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi, watch-listed on August 23, 2001.) “And by looking at the Arab names and their seat locations, ticket purchases and other passenger information, it didn't take a lot to do a rudimentary link analysis. Customs officers were able to ID 19 probable hijackers within 45 minutes. I saw the sheet by 11 a.m. And that analysis did indeed correctly identify the terrorists.” [New York Observer, 2/11/04] However, Bonner appears to be at least somewhat incorrect: for two days after the attacks the FBI believes there are only 18 hijackers, and the original list contains some erroneous Arab-sounding names on the flight manifests, such as Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Bukhari. [CNN, 9/13/01 (D)] Some hijacker names, including Mohamed Atta's, were identified on a reservations computer around 8:30 a.m., and Richard Clarke was told some of the names were al-Qaeda around 10:00 a.m.

This website has an extensive timeline. It seems to lean somewhat anti-Administration, but it has a wealth of data.

I am not sure when any of the hijackers' names made the airwaves, but I do seem to remember it was that day.

Thanks so much for that information, Tom. I remembered them being named that day too and was astounded how quickly we knew who did the attacks.

And this:

Well, just shoot me now. Clarke, you POS, trying to blame the CIA about this? And yet we had Operation Able Danger who knew all about this guy and wasn't allowed to talk with the FBI or CIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clarke knew darned well why they were allowed to board taht plane. I lay the blame for this entire matter at the feet of the Clinton administration. They could have prevented 9/11 by taking action against that group in 1999, and they didn't do it. They could have taken action in 2000, and they didn't do it.

"(9:59 a.m.): Clarke Told Some Hijackers Have al-Qaeda Connections"

Wonderful, the CIA, FBI, and NSC knew within the first hour of 9/11 that they had blown it big-time. Then the task was for people like Clarke, Gorelick, and Ben Veniste to make sure that blame would fall primarily upon the Bush administration, which had only been in office a few months and had only had a lot of its 'team' (such as key Pentagon appointments held up by a-hole Senator Levin) in place for a matter of weeks. Meanwhile, the 9/11 Commission, with the inside help of Gorelick-Snell-Ben Veniste, makes sure there is no significant focus upon failures of the 8 YEARS that the Clintonlites had to work on these issues, while Clarke and the MSM create a hyper-partisan atmosphere against Rice, Bush, Cheney, et al. Much hype is wasted upon the nearly meaningless PDB of August 6, 2001 -- the MSM acts as though Bush should have.... done WHAT, exactly? Ordered extra scrutiny of all Arab/Muslim males trying to board commercial airliners??? Hell, we can't do that even AFTER 9/11..... but just be sure that no attention is given to Gorelick's wall, 8 years of Clintonlite inaction, Clarke's inability to get Clinton-Gore-Berger to take terrorism seriously, etc. etc.
