[zulchzulu]

Condi appeared to be surprised by the idea that AQ could do the plane bomb plan...

Here are some links:

Ashcroft was warned to stop flying commercial aircraft:

Willie Brown was warned on 9/10/01 to not fly by Condi:

Condi says they had "no idea" planes would be used as a missile:

"How is it possible we have a national security advisor coming out and saying we had no idea they could use planes as weapons when we had FBI records from 1991 stating that this is a possibility,"

1999 Study: Hijack - Suicides Possible
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, an analysis prepared for U.S. intelligence warned that Osama bin Laden's terrorists could hijack an airliner and fly it into government buildings like the Pentagon.

FBI Was Warned About Flight Schools
(AP) Two months before the suicide hijackings, an FBI agent in Arizona alerted Washington headquarters that several Middle Easterners were training at a U.S. aviation school and recommended contacting other schools nationwide where Arabs might be studying.

A Phoenix FBI agent's request for a canvass of U.S. flight schools for al Qaeda terrorists was formally rejected within several weeks of his July 10 memo.

Yet, somehow FEMA was deployed the night before 9-11?

Interesting snippet from that Dan Rather interview, 9-10-01 was a monday, 9-11-01 was tuesday. and the interview was done on the evening of 9-12-01, that wednesday.

And then there is the whole question of Saudi involvement.
www.usnews.com/usnews/usinfo/press/saudi.htm

The report includes new information that is "not hard enough to take to court," one official cautioned, but it has persuaded some members of the House and Senate intelligence committees conducting the investigation that officials of the Saudi government were involved in the terrorist attacks.

4. Read the last few pages of Tom Clancy's "Debt of Honor".

6. The Condi-Willie 911 Link is quite interesting

Condi was very familiar with Willie Brown and had many links to the Bay area, namely being in some big positions at Stanford.

"Rice has a lot of deep official SF connections besides Chevron: Charles Schwab, San Francisco Symphony Board of Governors, Transamerica Corporation, KQED."

Willie had booked a flight to NYC to fly on the morning of 911 and cancelled the flight after warning.
