Judith Miller: I Was Tipped Off About 9/11

"At that point I realized I didn't have the whole story," Miller said. She continued to probe, but couldn't turn up enough information to satisfy Engelberg.

So they couldn't connect the dots.

[yoe]

They just didn't take the simple precautions that would have prevented those acts of terror.

Our government had just come off the Clinton Rock Star train where all security departments were in an state of the noncompliant Gorlick/Clinton/Reno/Albright WALL - no one would take the fall - certainly not Sandy Berger. Gore's refusal to give up and admit defeat left the country in limbo for far too long. The Bush administration was not up and running and when it did take over, too many Clinton people were left in key positions and continued to obstruct to save their sorry rears. America took last place as Al Gore would have them do anyway had he won.

thousands of lies should be lives.

freudian slip?

The shot that was heard around the Muslim world was the murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane on November 5, 1990.

On November 29, 1990, a package was mailed to a Pakistani at Iowa State University, but it arrived in someone else's mailbox because the mailer had transposed the numbers of the address from 116 to 161. The woman who sat across the table from me in class had the 161 address. She opened the package without looking at the label. One week later she and her husband had anthrax-like sores.

I say this was the theft of the anthrax. It is known that ISU had genotype 62 and were the ones that sent it on to USAMRIID.

It goes much farther back than people are willing to admit. Read Steven Emerson's books.

"One al-Qaida operative was overheard saying to the other, "Don't worry; we're planning something so big now that the U.S. will have to respond.'

Interesting. After all, it wasn't the attack that did major damage to the United States -- it has been the response.

[13Sisters76]

Islamic nutjobs are planning? or have planned? or will plan? "something big" against America?

Well hell- I'm shocked!

(I'm not shocked...)

[sportutegrl]

It seems to imply that if we had only responded to the Cole, we might not have had 9/11.

[OldFriend]

Makes no sense at all. The terrorists were upset that X42 didn't react to the attack on the USS Cole?

They wanted to be attacked?

Miller is seeking another five minutes of attention. IMO

[pollyannaish]

A case can be made that it would have been alarmist and I just couldn't justify it, but you can't help but think maybe I made the wrong call.

Oy vey. Alarmist. Wouldn't want to look anything other than cynically detached now would we.?

[InvisibleChurch]

what a loopy video... just because they don't find any remains at the Pa crash site ... a plane crashes nose first into the ground at several hundred mph, you're NOT going to find remains... so where are the passengers from flight 93 anyway since they landed in cleveland ... good grief! there's always some pud out there who is going to be irresponsible and lead grieving people to false hope

I thought Kerry knew. Wasn't he the one who received the information from an inspector at Logan airport but he refused to do anything about it?

Anyone want to bet that if he runs in 2008, this information will come to the surface?

[ishabibble]

Absolutely. If it had been Reagan instead of Carter, and he had bombed the ever lovin' daylights out of them that very day...

Jimmy Carter is the ultimate coward. I personally believe that he is the model for the "President Logan" on TV's "24" who is a spineless weasel puppet. If you've watched this season, you just know that it's Carter to a tee.

I had quite an interesting discussion about this very topic last night at a dinner. This great guy, one of the 8 documented good liberals(!) understands but rejects Carter as worst POTUS. His pick is Harry Truman who ignored Churchill's warnings and then pleadings, to use the threat of the power of nuclear bombs to secure the world from anyone else ever developing a nuclear bomb program. In light of L'il Kim in NK, Crazy Mo in Iran, and the Paki nation as a whole, I found very little room to argue.

If you see General Tommy Frank's speech to the NRA from yesterday put up on this board, I respectfully suggest it as an excellent overview of what we face as a civilization.
Tommy sure gets it!

[Coldwater Creek]

If Reagan had responded to the bombing of our Marines, there might not have been several terrorist attacks.

We know she didn't write the story, but did she at least contact someone like the FBI about it?

I think the source in the article is a US Govt. source...they "overheard" two AQ guys on the phone...

[SouthTexas]

Grandson's rousted me early this morning. :)

[FlingWingFlyer]

If this is true, why did the NY Slimes spike the story? Didn't they know that the American public had a "right to know?" Scumbags.

US Govt--could mean almost anyone, including some of the anti-Bush, anti-US hacks that remained on the payroll long after Clinton left office. We'll see. Seems she should have sounded the alarm, if she thought it was such a great story.

[bray]

Any editor of the Boregonian is a lying card carrying Commie. This is just more mud thrown against the wall by some lefties.

If it were true it would just show how effective the Reno Wall was.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[MizSterious]

It seems that to the NY Times, the only things the American people have "the right to know" are things that are damaging to the President and to the country; things that might be helpful should be spiked.
