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.
Maybe Shippers wasn't "ignored;" maybe the FBI was afraid of leaks.
Schippers waited to say anything more until shortly before the 2000 elections when his book came out and was used to bash the GOP.
But nevermind..some idiots still think there are Democrats out there who are honest and decent people.
Some conservatives will never get it.
A few days after that raid, I read an article that implied the feds were working fast and furiously trying to gather clues/evidence from what they had taken from InfoCom's office. I remember thinking to myself, "Why are they in such a rush?"
But it is okay for federal agencies to invade homes and kill innocent people on the strength of an anonymous tip.
The OKCBomb did involve M.E. terrorists, but the feds covered up that aspect and nailed rightwing militias only, so they could keep tracking the M.E. cells. Get "The Big One" when the time was right. OKC was too sophisticated for just timmy and nickle.
They didn't know this one was going down so successfully, but a big bang gives them more hero status for swift work anyway. Those Feds are right on top of the game, eh?
Might even cancel the new CIA series on TV, don't need it any more. And the CIA won't have to do the 3rd grade computer simulation on this one either.
If you were so concerned about it, Monday-morning QB @sshole, why didn't you tell anyone else?
I really can't stand him now because I just lost a bet that I thought I'd won. I wagered that once his book was no longer a bestseller he would never be heard from again.
My prediction is that the airline industry will suffer a monumental collapse. A 6-hour ride with a loaded gun under the seat is safer than an hour-long flight to anywhere, and people are starting to figure it out.
Harry, do you ever get off your schtick?
It must get tiresome carrying all that self-righteousness around.
You sound like you're reading off a Bircher cue card.

One more reason to believe that this is a pile of crap. Schippers gets access to information about an imminent attack, contacts the Justice Department, and leaves it in the hands of a "Clinton left-over" without ever following it up?
Our biggest concern now should be internal security rather than vengeance on some terrorist that we probably can't find in the mountains of Afghanistan. We have let thousands of Muslims into the United States and have no idea of where they are or what they are doing.
Most are probably harmless but you can bet that there are quite a few terrorists setting up cells in this country to disrupt things as much as possible. An ominus sign is the attacks in New York and the Pentagon. They know that security will be increased after a major attack such as was carried out. On the Mexican border the day of the attack the border patrol picked up over fifty Iraqi and mideastern Arabs.
This border has been a sieve for any terrorist wanting to enter the country. It is not good being preoccupied with all the talk of revenge because this diverts from the real security problem we have. I haven't heard any discussions dealing with the threats here but everybody is going for nailing those responsible for the airliner attacks.
After we close the holes in our own security we can have revenge discussed but until then we better have some security enforced here. This does not mean that we have to take anybody's freedom, we have plenty of tools to work with already.
This whole thing smells like CFR coordination.
And for the record.... I'm as outraged about this attack on America as the next guy. I just refuse to close my eyes to these "strange" efforts by the globalist class of pimps.

It sure does. Did he say how he got this tip? Anyway this is just the thing the nutcases have been waiting to hear. Now it starts!!!! I cannot handle even reading the nut case posts of people like Inspecter Harry What's his name. I do not want to be on the same website with his type. I'm outta here.
You don't think that could be because there was a major terrorist attack on the United States the other day, do you?
