As usual, the MSM is first on the scene with this breaking news... Strange how they don't mention whose Administration it was under...

[poobear]

If it were a Republican Administration you can bet you @ss they would.

Strange how they don't mention whose Administration it was under...

::Channeling DUmbasses:: Don't you know it was under the Bush administration, he just wasn't sleeping in the White House yet..

[NonValueAdded]

This is hardly breaking news to anyone even casually browsing Free Republic. If old media wants to discover it as a brand-spanking new fact, at least they are finally reporting it.

Read some of the Congressional Intel Committee reports for 2000 and some previous years. al-Qaeda wasn't unknown. bin Laden wasn't unknown. Even Congress had more info available than they would ever admit to.

But, as we know from Reid, Kerry, and other -- they admit they didn't attend meetings, read reports, etc.

[fooman]

we should release this guy now so he stops telling all these lies. /s

[Bullish]

Strange how they don't mention whose Administration it was under

I think we can all do the math.

[Huck]

If Clinton knew, then I presume the Bush admin knew, too.

[McGruff]

there were several al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and other countries

I forget. Salman Pak, now where was that?

[Mr. K]

It's almost as if the MSM thinks that al quaida magically formed in the months after Bush's election, yet before 9/11

[God luvs America]

still, little mention of Able Danger....

Pakistani national in one of the
apartments in Manila. Murad was a
member of an international terrorist
group planning to kill Pope John Paul II
on his scheduled visit to Manila from
January 10–15 for the Celebration of the
World Youth Day. Pieces of evidence
recovered revealed the group’s plan to
bomb U.S commercial airlines plying the
Manila - Hong Kong - Los Angeles. route.
This plot was to be the centerpiece of the
so-called “Oplan Bojinka” which was an
intricate network of international
terrorists using the Philippines as a
venue of their terrorists activities. The
bombing of a Philippine Airlines jet
bound for Japan from Cebu on December
11, 1994 was a test-run to Oplan Bojinka.
It can be recalled that one Japanese
national was killed while several others
were wounded during the incident.
4. Free Vietnam Revolutionary Group
(FVRG) Terrorist Cell
The presence of this terrorist cell was
recently discovered with the arrest of Vu
Van Doc, a U. S. citizen of Vietnamese
origin, Huynh Thuan Ngoc, a Swiss
citizen of Vietnamese origin and Makoto
Ito, a Japanese national on August 30,
2001. One of the arrested suspects, Vu
Van Doc, who operates a terrorist cell in
the Philippines is a member of the Free
Vietnam Revolutionary Group (FVRG),
the military arm of the Government of
Free Vietnam (GFV), a worldwide
organization engaged in liberating the
Republic of Vietnam from communist
rule.
The arrested suspects were reportedly
planning to conduct bombing activities
targeting the Vietnamese Embassy in
Manila on or before September 2, 2001,
which is the National Day of the Republic
of Vietnam.

Seems like you were on the money with your post earlier about this case being a fishing expedition.
