Jackcgt,

You are, like most people, very uninformed about 9/11. The US was warned many times about 9/11 from many different sources.

Here's an essay I wrote that looks merely at the warnings that came from foreign governments (that we know about).

This is but a fraction of all the warnings given. As for the notion that the hijackers had clean records, this is another myth belied by the facts. Almost half of them were known by name by the US before 9/11. Mohammed Atta for instance had no less than six intelligence agencies trailing him, including the CIA.

Let's see. According to the data in my timeline, the US gvmt knew the following were terrorists BEFORE 9/11:

Nawaf al-Hazmi
Khalid al-Mihdhar
Mohammed Atta
Ziad Jarrah
Marwan al-Shehhi
Salem al-Hazmi
Ahmed Alghamdi
Satam Al Suqami
Hani Hanjour

In many cases the CIA knew their full names, phone number, address, terrorist associates, flight school plans, and more.

Yet what were the steps taken in response to all of these warnings and information? None that I can see.

The head of the Independent Commssion Tom Kean recently stated the 9/11 attacks could have been stopped and should have been stopped. Democrats need to hammer this point into the public mind.
