It s no surprise to anybody that Osama Bin Laden wanted to attack the United States. But, as the CIA deputy director for operations just pointed out, the question was: how, what methods, where, when?
THE GOVERNMENT BEGAN RECEIVING HEIGHTENED REPORTS OF TERRORIST THREATS,
MOSTLY ABROAD, AS FAR BACK AS MAY. THERE WAS EVEN AN INTERNAL FBI MEMO WARNING
ABOUT LARGE NUMBERS OF ARABS ENROLLING AT U-S FLIGHT SCHOOLS.
