There's no way we could have prevented 9/11.TM

A British Muslim trained to be a 9-11 hijacker told an FBI counterterrorism taskforce in 2000 of a plot by terrorists to fly passengers planes into buildings, but the agents did not believe him.

Hmmmm.... Can't blame Bush. This story is going nowhere.

So, this happened on Clinton's (and Clarke's) watch.

It is a must for the 911 commission to investigate if there where any communications between FBI and CIA in this case, and if there weren't was this due to the stringent rules regarding collaboration between national security and law enforcement agencies - the Gorlick Wall.

"If your life has no color and a mullah says you can be a hero by dying, why not? ... At that time if they had told me to strap a bomb to my body and blow myself up I would have done it as easily as taking a glass of water to drink."

Islam is the Manson Family on a global scale.

"...passed a lie detector test, the Times of London reported."

The first means nothing, the second I can't comment on.

Lets see the year 2000 was when the last recession started, our stock markets fell by about 30 to 40% and Gorelick's Wall prevented any possible way of preventing 9/11.

Tell us Straight Shooter, who was the president in 2000?

Who was the chief law enforcement officer, (The Attorney General)?

I am sick and tired of these "gotcha" stories, even if this one did happen on Clinton's watch. Whoope-dee-doo. We know in hindsight that all the stories having to do with airplanes and buildings were true. All the stories about putting poison in the drinking water were BS. So were all the stories about blowing up bridges during rush hour. That's the best part about hindsight: it's always right.

Are reporters this stupid, or do they think think the rest of us are this stupid? No matter what happens, there's always some Cassandra out there who "warned" about it. Just like they "warned" about 500 other things, 500 of which never happened. "See that? This heroic whistleblower here wrote a memo two years ago warning that there would be a forest fire in California. But nobody listened!"

Spare me.

We need to know what the Governor of Texas knew about this.

And when did he know it?

My only doubts on this are why has it taken this long after 9/11 for this to be revealed? Does the FBI have evidence that this actually happened?

I do remember seeing this posted a long time ago. Glad it's coming out again, except that the agency withstands so much public critique and underappreciation in spite of what it does accomplish, which often stays secret.

"In Lahore, Pakistan, he was trained in hijacking and became familiar with a Boeing cockpit."

Imagine that: the Pakis named a city after their mothers!
Isn't that sweet!

Old news. This has only been reported a few thousand times. Hindsite is 20/20 and everyone is a Military genius AFTER the battle

In the meantime, however, he married and had a baby.

Other than 175 grains of Pb, that seems the only way to stop terrorists.

Early in his career, Arafat set up a very effective terrorist group (IIRC, "Black November"). Having completed their tasks, Arafat faced the problem of "turning off" a highly motivated & dangerous group. He did so by seeking out the most beautiful & desireable young single Palestinean women, and persuading them to serve their people by marrying these "heros". Upon nuptuals, the terrorists suddenly became very docile and domesticated, and ceased their lethal activities.

Give these people something to live for, and they won't want to die in a blaze of glory. (Until then, 175gr@2300fps.)
