OK, hubby read the posting before I had a chance, but when he told me he read about the OKC bombing with the 2 red x's next to it in this article last week on FR, I told him "No you didn't, I told you about that". I came across it one night while reading docs.

I also came across this, in the same document:

*Page 98 of 314
The brothers will be assigned to the committees.
Concerning our adversary, we receive news.
They wish to settle the matter before the end of December and January.
In October, there might be an incident.
We in return are preparing too.
The next six months are crucial for both sides.
Positive change is observed by students, educators and scholars, and some merchants.

Anyone remember what happened in October of 2000? USS Cole.

And I wonder if the brothers being assigned to the committees are the flight teams for 9-11? My impression is the other lines are talking about 9-11 preparation, but that's just IMO. Didn't Moussouie come to the US in January 2001?

The other thing, this document is from the Harmony database, not the Iraq docs one. These came from Afghanistan.

Anyone remember what happened in October of 2000? USS Cole.

Another investigation that was covered up. Vice Adm. Thomas Wilson was in Command of the DIA during this period. They suppressed info that could have prevented the USS Cole attack. From my research:

Vice Adm. Thomas Wilson, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, wrote to all DIA personnel this week to explain the protest resignation of a DIA analyst in October. The analyst, Kie Fallis, quit the day after the USS Cole was attacked by suicide bombers in Aden, Yemen. Mr. Fallis charged that a report he had written on the threat of a terrorist attack in Yemen was suppressed by senior DIA officials.
Mr. Fallis' resignation letter stated that he had "significant analytic differences" with DIA superiors over a terrorist threat assessment produced in June.
U.S. intelligence officials said there were warnings, but they arrived too late. The National Security Agency issued a report shortly after the Cole was bombed warning of attacks in the region —too late to be useful.
Adm. Wilson said he asked the Pentagon inspector general (IG) to investigate Mr. Fallis' charges. In an awkwardly worded statement, the three-star admiral said on Wednesday the IG "found no evidence to support the public perception that information warning of an attack on Cole was suppressed, ignored or even available in DIA." What about the private perception?
The admiral's statement drew smirks from several intelligence officials. It relied on a dodge often used by intelligence analysts to dismiss unwelcome information. Saying there is "no evidence" —like that presented to a court of law — is often used to mask the fact there is lots of intelligence to the contrary that spooks would rather not talk about in public.

Mr. Fallis also uncovered terrorist info related to 9/11:

One piece of the puzzle that Mr. Fallis uncovered was an intelligence report about a secret meeting of al Qaeda terrorists in a condominium complex in Malaysia in January 2000.
Information obtained after September 11 identified two of them as Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, who would be on American Airlines Flight 77 when it crashed into the Pentagon. They met with a former Malaysian army captain, Yazi Sufaat, described by Malaysian authorities as a key link in Southeast Asia for al Qaeda, who later would be tied to the bombing of the Cole.
What alarmed U.S. intelligence at the time was that Malaysian security officials traced the men to the Iranian Embassy there, where they spent the night.
