Officials Knew of Al Qaida Attack with Aircraft - Whistleblower
By Mark Sage, PA News in New York
Top level US officials knew before September 11 that al Qaida planned to use aircraft to commit a terrorist outrage, a former FBI translator claimed today.
The accusation by Sibel Edmonds starkly contradicts claims by senior Bush Administration figures that they had no prior warning of the attacks in 2001 on New York and Washington.
Ms Edmonds told The Independent newspaper: "There was general information about the timeframe, 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 or terror attacks.
"There were other cities that were mentioned. Major cities - with skyscrapers."
The 33-year-old Turkish-American translator accused President George W Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, of telling an "outrageous lie", when she said intelligence officials had no forewarning.
Ms Rice wrote in the Washington Post last week: "We received no intelligence that terrorists were preparing to attack the homeland using aeroplanes as missiles..."
But Ms Edmonds said it would be "impossible" for that to be the case, based on documents she had seen during her time with the FBI, after the September 11 attacks.
The White House has sought to gag Ms Edmonds with a court order citing "state secrets privilege".

Maybe its just my perspective, but it seems like Bush and company are not getting much good press lately, both here and abroad. Seems like lots of the administration secrets and blunders are being outed. Is this just my hopeful imagination, or are the tides turning?
