Earth to FBI, Earth to FBI... come in FBI!!!
The "What" might as well be a billboard that screams "Of course, so?" If the '93 attack had not happened, I would be more surprized. Clearly, among anyone with any even casual knowledge of Islamic militancy, the WTC was a "prime target" perhaps even "target #1". The "When" is the only spooky thing here. Lucky guess? If the kid was wrong, would I be writing this? How many times have similar predictions been made, with no result? I swear, this whole "Someone knew" business is a form of mass insanity. Watch it get out of hand in the next few weeks! Mueller's prediction of the inevitability of the next attack has set things in motion. Or, perhaps it was Hillary Clinton's political avarice that is the real begining of the hysteria. Regardless, events are rolling, and some sorta stuff is going to enter the fan soon. We shall see.
I couldn't help myself, I burst out laughing when I saw this. They're so diverse, they've got terrorists... ugghhh
I do not know of any Law enforcement agency policies that use "group" interrogations.
The idea that both brothers were questioned simultaneously, in the same room, makes me question the veracity of the whole report.
Policy dictates that the brothers be seperated, and questioned seperately.
Discrepancies would be noted between the two brothers' answers, as well as "too similar" statements. ( those that are identical word for word, for example.)
Additional questioning would then be performed, placing doubt in the minds of each of the brothers as to what the other had said, in order to detect even more discrepancies, such as changes in their stories, explanations for same that create even more questions or raise additional doubts.
Likewise, the fathers' returning from Pakistan and complaining about civil rights violations sounds fake as well.
Said father would not have had time to complain about his sons' civil rights, as he would be howling about his own.
He would be in custody and going through a major grilling, non-stop, for at least a week, maybe a month.
He would be held incommunicado, woken and questioned at odd and random hours, and not allowed a good night's rest.
I still consider this story to be an urban myth, because if it is true, there are some FBI agents that need to be forcefully retired from the force.
My op is, there was widespread knowledge, especially when you include the calendar from Holland.
