This is most likely hearsay, but this is disturbing nonetheless.
This comes from NealPollack.com. I've never seen this site before, and I do not know if he's reliable. I hope that some other Kossacks can verify this.
This sounds like pure BS, but lets press Pollack to give up his sources or at least provide a link
I have access to the full briefing, or at least to quotes from the full briefing, which I got off the comment page of a website that was linked to the comment page of another website.
The mainstream news media, for some reason, hasn't revealed pages three and four of the briefing, either because they're being careful, or because they're cowards.
We shoud investigate the claims on Neal Pollack's website.
Specifically,
In a 1999 Project For the New American Century "position paper," Richard Perle and Dick Cheney wrote that the U.S should be prepared for a day when 19 men of Arab descent, armed with box cutters, would board commercial airline flights with the intent to crash the planes into major U.S. buildings.
Can someone look into the writings of PNAC to see if this is legit or crap?
Also, is 19 an arbitrary number?
A CIA agent, posing as a Florida flight instructor, said that several 9-11 hijackers showed great proficiency in all areas except one. According to the agent, the hijackers said, "we're not going to land the planes anyway, so why bother?"
This seems like old news.
In April 2001 one of the hijackers was caught on videotape, at a convenience store manned by the FBI, asking what the odds would be of him surviving if a plane he were piloting were "shot down over Western Pennsylvania."
My best bet is that the Feds though this guy was delusional, so they buried this under their paper mountain
A CIA agent took Mohammed Atta out to lunch in July, where he bragged that he was going to "fly a plane into the World Trade Center," adding, "don't tell anyone, it's a surprise."
WTF?? Did the CIA agent check this guy out with the FBI and the INS? And where, specifically, was the CIA agent meeting with Atta? If its in the US Homeland, isnt that illegal? Arent CIA officers restricted to only working out of the country? Did the FBI know about this? Why or why not?
On August 1, Donald Rumsfeld wrote, in an email to Paul Wolfowitz, "After Al Queda attacks the Pentagon, we should talk to the President about an Iraq invasion." Wolfowitz wrote back, "When is that attack going to be again?" Rumsfeld replied: "September 11, like we discussed."
This seems too surreal to be believed. However, since our taxpayer dollars foot the bill for the Pentagon, lets see if this is true.
In the spirit of declassification, lets see everything the CIA, DIA, and FBI knew about the 19 hijackers. Heck, bring up the information from the INS as well
