September 11th Advocates Statement re. 9/11 Commission’s Declassified Monograph on FAA Failures

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 11, 2005

September 11th was neither an intelligence failure nor was it a failure of imagination. It was nonfeasance on behalf of a whole host of government agencies, including the FAA.

Of the 105 warnings issued, 52 warnings regarding al Qaeda were given to the FAA by the intelligence community in a six month period from April 2001 to September 2001. According to the 9/11 Commission's final report, there were eight information circulars put out by the FAA between July 2, and September 10, 2001. Five of these information circulars targeted overseas threats, while the remaining three targeted domestic threats.

The 52 threats regarding al Qaeda were not received by the FAA in a vacuum. From March 2001 to September 2001, according to the Joint Inquiry of Congress, our Intelligence Community received at least 41 specific threats of a possible domestic attack by al Qaeda. Additionally, the FAA was also made aware of the August 16, 2001 arrest of Zaccarias Moussouai. Finally, the FAA attended a high level meeting on July 5, 2001 where the domestic threat posed by al Qaeda was discussed by all relevant intelligence agencies.

According to the newly released FAA monograph, in the spring of 2001 the FAA knew that if "the intent of the hijacker is not to exchange hostages for prisoners, but to commit suicide in a spectacular explosion, a domestic hijacking would probably be preferable".

The aforementioned statement is yet another indicator of how widely known it was in the national security community that al Qaeda was interested in using planes as missiles. Yet, as the historic record also widely indicates, former National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice publicly stated that she didn't think that anyone could imagine that planes could be used as missiles.

Furthermore, Ms. Rice also testified, under oath, before the 9/11 Commission, that the August 6, 2001 PDB, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the U.S.," contained purely "historical" threat information. The revelation of the 52 warnings given to the FAA during this same time period would seem to indicate that Ms. Rice perjured herself during her testimony.

Moreover, Ms. Rice also testified that there was nothing more the U.S. government could have done during the summer of 2001 to thwart the attacks of 9/11. Yet, the newly released 9/11 Monograph states that the federal air marshal program was specifically deleted from all domestic flights during the summer of 2001 as a result of cost cutting by the airlines. Certainly, placing air marshals on domestic flights was well within the purview of Ms. Rice's own responsibilities and tasking as National Security Advisor. Why has she not been held accountable? Additionally, why has no one in the airline community been held accountable?

An FAA spokesperson asserts that the FAA didn't have specific information regarding means or methods that would have enabled them to tailor any counter measures. This statement clearly contradicts the reality detailed in this report. Stepping up security in the face of terror warnings is not a new concept for America's government agencies. The FAA testified before the 9/11 Commission that during the millennium an unknown terror plot caused them to ratchet up their security procedures. With 52 warnings, why was this not done in 2001?

The American public must not be lulled into a false sense of security. While government reports might allege that the myriad of government agencies, individuals, and institutions that failed our nation on 9/11 have been fixed post-9/11, the disturbing fact remains that after all the failures of 9/11 have been revealed, far too many of the same individuals who were unable to react appropriately to clear and abundant warnings, are still in their positions today.

Notably missing from this monograph is any information pertaining to NORAD’s failure to timely scramble jets, which leads us to wonder what else is being withheld from the public.

Four alleged hijackers may have cased Dulles on the night of 9/10. Nawaf al-Hazmi and al-Shehhi seen by Eric Gill (source Joe Trento) and Salem al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar (source declassified FBI timeline). Gill claims Nawaf al-Hazmi and al-Shehhi were wearing ramp uniforms. An alleged terrorist (Nawaf al-Hazmi) with links to the Yemen hub and the Cole plotters, on multiple watchlists at the time, possibly posing as a Dulles employee? Unreal. I think it's safe to assume the liability includes multiple agencies.

Why would the airlines settle other cases if they truly believed that FBI (or CIA) testimony would exonerate them? That doesn't make sense unless they know the fix is in and claims of national security interests will ensure the intelligence agencies never have to cooperate. Like everything related to 9/11 there is something strange about the civil suit process. I tried to stay up to date on the trials (some families did not want to settle and were hoping to get to trial in order to hopefully attain more information about what happened) but they seem to have been delayed.

From the way the FBI and CIA are acting it seems the 9/11 Commission didn't do such a thorough job after all. Hard to believe.

The deputy chief of the CIA's bin Laden unit (Alec Station) must be Tom Wilshire, although he moved from that position to being a consultant to the for the FBI in May 2001. Wilshire was involved in just about every failure before 9/11. The FBI special agent assigned to Alec Station may well be Margaret Gillespie, although other candidates could be Charles Frahm (who was involved in the Moussaoui case), Mark Rossini and Doug Miller (who attempted to warn the FBI about Almihdhar's US visa and was definitely a special agent).

Assuming the five FBI agents mentioned are separate from the above two they should be:
(1) Harry Samit, one of the lead agents in Minneapolis, who drafted a warning to the FAA saying Moussaoui and "others yet unknown" wanted to hijacker airliners;
(2) FBI Radical Fundamentalist Unit agent Michael Maltbie, who instructed that Samit's warning not be sent and then re-wrote it taking out the threat assessment;
(3) FBI Minneapolis agent Greg Jones, who realized a likely target was the WTC and whom Maltbie told not to send Samit's memo.

This is covered here:

Others could be Maltbie's boss Dave Frasca, who, upon learning Moussaoui wanted to go on jihad commented that jihad "can mean many things in various muslim cultures," his colleague Rita Flack, who read the Phoenix Memo while working on the Moussaoui case, but didn't mention it to anybody, and other people in Minneapolis, such as Rowley, or maybe one of the other agents with Samit when Moussaoui was arrested.

RFU delayed advising the FAA of the threat for some reason that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Just in case youre still bothering to visit and read this page , i wanted to let you know that theres alot of people out there - including myself- who totally agree with you that 6.5 years of talk about 'foreknowledge' of a fictional 'al-quaida' plot is more than enough, and seems to have served mainly as a big smokescreen for the REAL questions about that day. Such as who blew up those towers.
