I found the above excerpt in an article entitled "25 detained nationwide in dragnet" posted at http://www.msnbc.com/news/628563.asp.The excerpt can be found within the article under the subheading:

"INQUIRIES IN CAYMAN ISLANDS"

Last night NBC News (about 8 pm CST-I personally watched this story)reported that three suspects were in custody in the Cayman islands connected to the WTC attacks on 9/11/01. NBC News showed a letter dated 9/6/01 and sent to Caymen authorities that was also sent to US authorities before 9/11 that detailed plans related to the WTC attacks and gave details about the three men that are now under arrest in the Cayman Islands. This is an indication of more US forewarning and foreknowledge.

Also please add this article to your FBI/CIA "forewarning or foreknowledge" lists.

David Shippers Speaks Out!!

Posted on 09/13/2001 17:07:20 PDT by DataPro01

David Shippers, former House legal counsel for the impeachment investigation and author of Sell Out, was interviewed by Quinn on his radio show this AM. Shippers had some very interesting things to say....some examples, Shippers claims that he contacted the Justice Dept weeks agon with warnings that a large terrorist strike involving southern Manhattan was imimnent. He was ignored. He also states that our best Middle Eastern terrorist expert, an FBI agent, has yet to be consulted. Essentially, Shippers is stating that when all is said and done the American public will find that the authorities had lots of information on a potential strike yet did nothing...and that the quick arrests are because of this fact...and the brave actions of flight attendants who phoned in the seat numbers of the terrorists before they were killed. I think this information needs to be heard and discussed...and have been urging national news shows to interview Shippers ASAP. Shippers interview with Quinn can be heard archived at www.warroom.com/archives the Wed 9/12 show.

This article was originally entiteles "Bin Laden suspect transferred from Minnesota jail" A former TV reporter in OKC who worked on the OKC bombing case thinks this guy was involved in the OKC bombing with McVeigh. This guy lived near OKC and was attending a flight school in Norman near OKC. BBC (story posted on FR: "FBI 'Ignores Leads'")reported that the French gave US authorities details about this guy over a month ago that suggested the plot on the WTC. The French are upset there info was not taken more seriously by FBI to avert the WTC attacks since many Europerans were also killed. Minneapolis TV station KARE11.com has more details.

I saw on the evening news the Oklahoma flight school issue mentioned. I also got information from a friend in Missiouri that Muslim-owned businesses there are refusing to fly the American flag. While in Wichita the Muslims are trying to do their best to show they are with us, it is clear that not all the Arabs are with us. My friend did talk to Arabs in town who confirmed the story. I will be investigating this and looking for confirmation. If so, I will be including this in a story I am writing for the school paper about this issue becuase it is vital to show that not all Muslims are for us.

Did NBC specifically say that Cayman authorities passed on this information to the US before 9/11? FoxNews on TV and reports I've read on the web all said the Cayman authorities did nothing with the letter.

Did Schippers say where he got his info, or name this FBI expert agent?

With respect to BlueDog's reply #9

Please use your contacts with Fed law enforcement and in the Bush administration to start working immediately on getting the FBI/CIA to pass on more info like this to local local law enforcement as soon as possible.

Half of fixing a problem is knowing what the problem is- and now we know one of the problems and it is fixable.

Please help shore up our defenses within the US by getting more cooperation and free flow of info between local and Fed law enforcement. Even use some of you contacts in the military, the Wash Navy Yard, the State Dept, the Congressional Intell committtees,etc. to get this addressed as quickly as possible.

Sooner or later the FBI and CIA and Congress are going to start realizing that by cooperating more with local law enforcement they will also protect themselves better and in the process might start protecting us better too.

What I am trying to say is that the sooner the FBI and CIA and Congress realize that they are not immune from this (it is literally on their doorstep and will come to THEIR houses and affect THEIR wives and children) maybe they will start getting their butts in gear for once to help protect all of us.

If they remain smug and arrogant and never accept constructive criticism and start making the proper and needed internal changes, they will not only doom us but they will doom themselves. You need to make them realize this NOW, Please.

a letter sent anonymously to a radio station in the Cayman Islands

How many such letters are received by radio stations on a regular basis then forwarded to Cayman Islands officials - - enough to cause them to treat such letters suspiciously?

Probably dozens ... meaning this is rivero class material ...

My understanding is that this partucular radio station conducts several 'Art Bell' types shows - and this sounds like a listener participating in that brand of lunacy ...

On the evening news tonight examples of the prior warnings were provided such as this example. The government explanation was that they are so understaffed and underfunded to give all the information the attention that it deserves.

What do you think?

Was the failure to act on this information or at the very least to inform airline pilots of the threat, was this incompetence or something else, or is it too early to answer the question?
