I am not sure who Jim Kouri is but I have this to say: The media is coming out and Feinstein is coming out with this "WHY N-O-O-W?? WHY NOW?" I cant even fathom this stupidity. Certain things are classified and not for public consumption. The President is trying to protect the American public. These people make me want to vomit.

What is funny is that the Dems are trying to tie it to the NSA case, saying Bush is using this to justify the wiretapping. Nothing could be further from the truth, wiretapping had nothing to do with this. This Homeland Security Report from Apr 2004 gives the details:

Library Tower in downtown Los Angeles and the Sears Tower in Chicago were targeted by al-Qaeda for attacks in the days following Sept. 11, 2001, officials confirmed last Tuesday.

The terrorist group's operations chief, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, has told interrogators that al-Qaeda’s follow-up attacks in the Midwest and West Coast were thwarted by the intensity of the U.S. response to the strikes on the Twin Towers in New York and on the Pentagon, according to a report in the Washington Times quoting official transcripts.

I thought I heard a report that DiFi had called this "old news".
