makes me wonder if somehow this was leaked to al-qaeda and that's why they hit when they did?

When the OBL video tape where he talked about the hijackers first surfaced, wasn't there reports that the hijackers had moved their plan up, that initially it was thought to be planned for later, and OBL seemed kind of surprised it had happened earlier than he expected?

Does anyone remember when Atta got the approval call 'to go' from the finanaciers, was it 9/9 or afterwords?
