I would bet there's nobody in the world except a couple of rappers and a few dozen terrorists would even have considered the possiblity that people would coordinate an attack by hijacking 4 (5? 6? 7?) planes at the same time and flying them into prominent buildings

Actually when we captured Ramsey Yousef in the Philiphines (an Iraqi agent operating with Al Qaeda?!?!?{GASP!}) in 1995, he had files on him of the possibility of using Airplanes as airborne missiles, and his target was the CIA building. By 1996, an intelligence memo was put on Clinton's Desk stating that suicide bombings was a possibility, and that security should be set up to prevent it. I believe it was turned down because this would mean shutting off the cockpit, and cutting off the possibility of negotiating with the hijackers.

Overtime, it was largely forgotten about until 9/11 and everyone started retracing their steps. Unbelievably, this often used as a smear on President Bush. He probably didn't even know about this Intelligence memo before 9/11 while Clinton deliberatly ignored it.

I tried to find a source for this info but all i got was conspiracy sites. At one time i saw this documented legitamately but i dont know where.

Let's see, who benifits from this junk report? Dr. No Dean said in the last few weeks that "Bush knew about the attacks and the Saudi's told him about it" Several months ago it seems like hitlery was saying "What did Bush know and when did he know it?" This a hit piece put out by one of them to stop all the good things happening because Saddam was caught. They somehow have to stop the rising polls. Will it work? or can we shed light on who the real culprit was a.k.a. osama and bill? Your comments please.
