PURE EXTRACT said:Yes, they had "knowledge" of what COULD have happened. I'm sure that our country didn't just let this happen...
Really??
Then why didnt the Pentagon, since they obviously knew some sort of ambigous terrorist activity was planned for the morning of sept 11th, involving at the very least civilian aviation transporation, warn the Federal Aviation Authority an ambigous, but crediable threat existed against civilian air transportation, and suggest the FAA to take the necessary precautions?
And since the Pentagon was aware a crediable threat existed involving domestic commercial airliners on sept 11th, why didnt the Pentagon, in the 24 hours they possessed knowledge of possible attacks, at the very least, inform all national air bases to put their fighter crews on alert as simply a precautionary measure to thwart any attempted terrorist attack possibly using highjacked civilian aircraft?
Afterall, senior pentagon officials felt the crediability of the warning was sufficient to cancell all airtravel planes for sept 11th, why not take some additional precautions to ensure public saftey. I mean, that is their job, isnt it??
"On Sept. 10.... a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns."
