the US knew about the threat ?

i dont know the validity of this but here we go...........

sibel edmonds a former FBI translator has spoke of how she was locked in meetings with officials to warn them of an attack using aeroplanes in the spring/summer of 2001, information in the FBI told of a possible imminent threat via the use of planes.

"There was general information about the time-frame, about methods to be used * but not specifically about how they would be used *and about people being in place and who was ordering these sorts of terror attacks. There were other cities that were mentioned. Major cities * with skyscrapers."

Utter ********, the "wise after the event" crowd. This quote says nothing.

So what was said "they're going to use planes but we don't know how they're going to use them"?

ALL major cities in the US have skyscrapers???

No one could ever have expected or prevented the 9/11 attacks. They should forget about trying to blame somebody and just ensure it doesn't happen again

yes no one could have prevented it, but there could have been more action to take those people who were threatening to do such things to one side and investigate them, in the report it mentions:

Quote:

information that was circulating within the FBI in the spring and summer of 2001 suggesting that an attack using aircraft was just months away and the terrorists were in place.

so if they read in to it more maybe they could have stopped those people ?

they are cocky to judge themselves that 'no one would dare to do such a thing' notice the arrogrance they portray ?
