Should the military's Wargames, as on 9-11-01, be noticed to the Public ?

[EVDebs]

Section 3.3 of the 9-11 Report says "As for law enforcement, there were only 33 armed and trained federal air marshals as of 9-11. They were not deployed on U.S. domestic flights..."

SF Chronicle page A3 August 31, 2004 "Air Marshal integrity called into question" states that
"Thousands of air marshals were rushed into service after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."

This all begs the question: what were the President and the NSA's Condoleeza Rice thinking upon reading about the domestic terrorist hijackings described in the August 6, 2001 PDB ?

Along those same lines, with the redactions mentioned in the Countdown piece by Keith Olbermann, what was the FAA thinking and doing, specifically in regard to notifying the President and NSA, in case they were 'out of the loop' and FAA was the primary recipient of the intelligence ?

This all becomes more confusing considering that a Saudi software firm, Ptech, had FAA and intelligence computer access prior to and during the 9-11-01 attacks. When the wargames (such as Vigilant Warrior, etc., mentioned in the book "Crossing the Rubicon" by Michael Ruppert and at http://www.oilempire.us/wargames.html ) were scheduled, the FAA should have required civilian passenger planes to have domestic air marshals, ya think ? And what better time to attack than during prescheduled wargames in order to mimic the actions already anticipated for.

One can only say that, in order to protect yourself as a citizen from terrorist attacks, we should demand to know when the military plans on holding wargames -- so as to be forewarned of when terrorists would most likely attempt to piggyback an attack onto prescheduled 'wargames'.

1. Only when they're not games, and they intend to realy kill civilians...

[Old and In the Way]

2. I recall one of the talking points after 9/11 was there were only 14

planes on active duty prior to 9/11 to cover the entire continental US. I believe Cheney said that. Now if this huge exercise was underway, where were all the interceptors?

And I really want to know if 93, 11, 175, and 77 were involved with the Vigilent Guardian exercise.....

4. As DUers, getting to the truth will set us free. Republicans can't handle

the truth, it seems. Hence redactions up the wazoo.

P-Tech - Saudi cover-up
by Daniel Hopsicker
February 5 2004-- Venice, Florida.
Last week, when the National 9/11 Commission held hearings on The Aviation Security System and the 9/11 Attack, government and aviation officials described a system unprepared for the events that unfolded on September 11. None of them, however, mentioned security breaches involving  “Saudi terrorists in the basement of the FAA.” 

Yet that's what happened, according to a high-level risk analyst who had troubling dealings with the firm.

"Ptech had a couple of very troubling client relationships," states risk architect and whistleblower Indira Singh, "one of which was with the FAA. One of the 'persons of interest' in the investigation had a team in the basement of the FAA for two years."

PTECH, 9/11, and USA-SAUDI TERROR - Part I
PROMIS Connections to Cheney Control of
9/11 Attacks Confirmed
by Jamey Hecht

With research assistance by Michael Kane
and editorial comment by Michael C. Ruppert

FTW: You said at the 9/11 Citizens' Commission hearings, you mentioned - it's on page 139 of transcript - that Ptech was with Mitre Corporation in the basement of the FAA for 2 years prior to 9/11 and their specific job was to look at interoperability issues the FAA had with NORAD and the Air Force, in case of an emergency.

Indira Singh: Yes, I have a good diagram for that.

FTW: And that relationship had been going on mediated by Ptech for 2 years prior to 9/11. You elsewhere say that the Secret Service is among the government entities that had a contract with Ptech. Mike Ruppert's thesis in Crossing the Rubicon, as you know, is that the software that was running information between FAA & NORAD was superseded by a parallel, subsuming, version of itself that was being run by the Secret Service on state of the art parallel equipment in the PEOC with a nucleus of Secret Service personnel around Cheney. In your view, might it have been the case that Cheney was using Ptech to surveil the function of the people in FAA & NORAD who wanted to do their jobs on 9/11, and then intervene to turn off the legitimate response?

Indira Singh: Is it possible from a software point of view? Absolutely it's possible. Did he (Cheney) have such a capability? I don't know. But that's the ideal risk scenario - to have an overarching view of what's going on in data. That's exactly what I wanted for JP Morgan. You know what's ironic about this - I wanted to take my operational risk blueprint which is for an operational event going wrong and I wanted to make it generic for extreme event risk to surveil across intelligence networks. What you're describing is something that I said, 'boy if we had this in place maybe 9/11 wouldn't have happened.' When I was going down to DARPA and getting these guys excited about creating an extreme event risk blueprint to do this, I'm thinking of doing exactly what you're saying Cheney might have already had!

5. Hey, please post this Ptech story on the main board or link to it

the DUers out there need to read this and pass along. Like the Arlo Guthrie song "Alice's Restaurant" pretty soon we'll have a movement organization... and then a movement and then a march and then...some action ?
