Newsweek Cover: 'What Bush Knew' -- Phoenix FBI Agent Behind Warning About Arabs at Flight Schools is 'Superstar' Who Found Key Witness in Oklahoma City Bombing; CIA Warns of A 'Series of Explosions Using 'Low Charge' Nuclear Weapons' FBI Forced to Shut Down 10 to 20 Wiretaps of Qaeda-Related Suspects After A Judge Learned of AN Official Who was Misrepresenting Petitions for Taps of Terror Suspects Ashcroft Turned Down Request for Hundreds More Counterintelligence Agents; Treasury Not Hot on Money-Laundering Probes Between June and Sept. 11, As Many As 10-12 FAA Warnings Were Issued to All American Airlines, Major Airports; More Than Two Specifically Mentioned the Possibility of Planes Being Hijacked
According to the cover story by Senior Editor Michael Hirsh and Investigative Correspondent Michael Isikoff, it was back in July, 2001, that Bill Kurtz, a hard-driven supervisor in the FBI's Phoenix office, was overseeing an investigation at an Arizona flight school and Williams, a sharp, 41-year-old counterterror agent on his team, noticed something odd: a large number of Middle Eastern men were signing up to take courses in how to fly airplanes. The agent's suspicions were raised when he heard that some of the men at local Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University were also asking a lot of questions about airport security.
Kurtz, who had previously worked on the Osama bin Laden unit of the FBI's international terrorism section, was convinced he and his colleagues might have stumbled on a terrorist plot. "He thinks of everything in terms of bin Laden," one colleague recalled. Kurtz's team fired off a lengthy memo raising the possibility that bin Laden might be using U.S. flight schools to infiltrate the country's aviation system. The memo outlined a proposal for the FBI to monitor "civil aviation colleges/universities around the country."
But higher up the FBI ladder, Newsweek reports, an agent's warning is often likely to be dismissed as "chatter." And agents poke fun at the sometimes obsessive quirks of their colleagues. "If a confidential memorandum comes from a guy out in, say Phoenix, the first thing goes up line, 'That's Harry again. He's like a broken clock twice a day,'" one former agent says. Even today, long after 9-11, streams of new threats pass unnoticed through Washington. In recent weeks, for instance, the FBI has gotten specific threats about a car-or-truck bomb attack on an "all-glass" building near the U.S. Capitol, and another threat against a Celebrity cruise ship off Florida. Neither was corroborated or publicized, Hirsh and Isikoff report. Newsweek has also learned of a recent CIA warning of a "series of explosions using 'low charge' nuclear weapons."

But just wait for the cries of outrage when someone pops off a nuke in downtown cornfield USA or a string of homicide bombers rocks the Northeast Corridor.
I don’t know who I am angrier at… the guberment of the stupid sheeple.

Most Dems are socialists who want to destroy our country - even via Jihad, and,
The rest of our (conservative) leaders are just sitting back waiting for the other shoe to drop.... I mean, we're just pawns. We'll be sacrificed for the next catastrophic event. THEN, the conservatives will demand we drop this silly profiling garbage and get down to REAL solutions. (In the meantime, nothing substantive will happen.)
But of course the liberal/socialists will then scream to high heaven that racial/ethnic profiling be preserved.
I feel like I'm looking into the "LOOKING GLASS" like the Wizard of Oz!! If my hunch is right, a pox on BOTH their houses! My family means more to me than it does to them!
Inside the actual article(beyond what was reprinted above) is the framework for how the Dems plan to expand their smear of the administration to the next level. Innuendo on how actions by Ashcroft and Rumsfield were somehow deliberate attempts to ignore the threat of terrorism, thus making us weaker before 9/11. Isikoff is carrying the water for the Dems big time, but perhaps it will work given how many idiots here on the conservative side willingly lap it up.
Start deporting and profiling now.
