It was the Neocon plan for total global domination, clearly expressed in the documents of the Project for a New American Century.
It was all there -- the need for a "new Pearl Harbor", the history of PNAC members dating back to the oil crisis days of the 1970s -- but the media ignored it.
Maybe that's why Paul O'Neill's "revelations" come as news to people!
The only coverage I saw was PBS's Frontline, which showed how the neocons were itching to attack Iraq years before 9/11.
But who watches PBS?
