A former FBI translator told Salon.com the U.S. should have had an "orange or red-type of alert in June or July of 2001. There was that much information available."

We didn't have such an alert system.

If this person went straight to Salon.com, this person is not credible.

Read the article. Grassley said she was credible. However, she is the same person who first made headlines in 2002 by blowing the whistle on the FBI's translation department.

I smell a rat.

I am glad to see our security forces giving out all this information. We had tighter security in the Boy Scouts.

Anyway how many straight people write for or read Salon.com?

A former FBI translator said Wednesday that the bureau had "real, specific" information relating to the Sept. 11 attacks before they happened. Sibel Edmonds worked for the agency working from Sept. 20, 2001 to March 2002.

I absolutely agree!

And .. Even if the FBI had a lot of info .. it wasn't sharing it with the CIA - so what good was it doing. This is just stupid.

This is desperation - they see this blame Bush waning away and they're just trying to stop the hemmoraging.
