THE WARNING KERRY IGNORED
New York Post Online ^ | March 15, 2004 | PAUL SPERRY

SEN. John Kerry boasts how he "sounded the alarm on terrorism years before 9/ 11," referring to his 1997 book "The New War." Too bad he didn't blast it when it really counted - four months before the hijackings, when he was hand-delivered evidence of serious security breaches at Logan International Airport, with specific warnings that terrorists could exploit them.

Paul Sperry is a reputable reporter who in the past has uncovered many stories which proved to be true. If all this is true, then Kerry has blood on his hands.

" ... as usual, the Rats are accusing the president of what THEY are guilty of. "

Isn't it funny ... that is how it always truns out.

(At that point, Steve Elson, the other agent who'd teamed up on the TV sting, decided to take a crack at the junior senator. A fiery ex-Navy Seal, Elson spent three years as part of an elite FAA unit called the Red Team, which did covert testing of airport security across the country, before retiring as a field agent in Houston. He offered to fly to Washington at his own expense to give Kerry a document-backed presentation about the "facade of security" at Logan and other major airports. But a Kerry aide said not to bother. "You're not a constituent," )
I like that Terminology (A fiery ex-Navy Seal) Elson is just the man to Demand Kerry’s Military Record. Elson, may be the man to also Demand Kerry be brought in front of the 9-11 Commission and Tell What he Knew and When he Knew it and why he did not act on the Security Issue at Logan Airport. Logan says to Kerry. "Bring It ON." I hope.

At least 82 Kerry constituents were murdered aboard American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175.

That should be the response every time the Dems' talkingpointsmemo says '3000 were murdered on Bush's watch'.

I don't remember anything about the local FOX affiliate doing this investigative report, before or after 9/11"\

It was also reported in other media and, in fact, I seem to remember reading something about it here at FR.

My recollection was mostly about them being able to smuggle weapoms past the metal detectors etc.

Rewind to May 6, 2001. That night, a Boston TV station (Fox-25) aired reporter Deborah Sherman's story on an undercover investigation at Logan that Sullivan and another retired agent helped set up.

Seems easy enough to check out this info.

It's hard to remember all the information that came pouring out after Sept. 11.

It will be interesting to watch how Kerry spins this.

Now, the question is 'will the mainstream media REPORT that Kerry knew'?

How many have heard Kerry's response to the question from the audience about who the 'world leaders' are that want to see Kerry elected? His response was ' are you a registered Republican'. Does that mean you do not deserve an answer to a question if you are NOT a DIM?

I am from Texas, and I heard about it. I did not hear about Kerry's involvement - or if I did, it did not register. Why would I know who Kerry was - just another northeast liberal?

Quoting Kerry is the surest way to mislead the American people.

It would be nice if it's true and it's FOX news.

I'd guess that it was just attributed to the pile of generalized warnings that everyone had gotten and no one did anything about.

But since Bush is being raked over the coals for "knowing" in advance about 911, it seems like it's Kerry's turn in the barrel.

Me thinks someone pulled a fast one on the author of this article. It appears fabricated

If it is .. it should be easy to prove
