The information about Yousef wanting to ram planes into buildings was in Federal Court Testimony of the trial for WTC I.
There was no way it was kept secret form Bush or anyone else.
Source please.
DISAGREE!
"When Dale Watson, chief of the FBIs International Terrorism Operations Section testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in February 1998, he withheld this vital information. He identified Operation Bojinka only as a plot to blow up U.S. air carriers, and assured the senators that the FBI had the situation under control."
I looked this up the other night. Members of congress DON'T get trial transcripts from federal court -- but they do receive these documents.
No, it wasn't kept "secret." Not by the Phillipine police anyway. But it was witheld in intelligence briefings.
