What Was Known Before 9/11 May Convince You

If you were a US
intelligence official, would "your hair be on fire" (the phrase used by former
Bush administration insider and counter-intelligence chief Richard Clarke) from
the below list of intelligence available prior to the 9/11 attacks?
When you read American
Hiroshima, "your hair will be on fire" from what is already known about the
next and far worse al Qaeda 9/11 code-named American Hiroshima.

June 21, 2001:
Senior al-Qaeda Officials Say Important Surprises Coming Soon
A reporter for the Middle East Broadcasting
Company interviews bin Laden. Keeping a promise made to Taliban leader Mullah
Omar, bin Laden does not say anything substantive, but Ayman al-Zawahiri and
other top al-Qaeda leaders promise that “[the] coming weeks will hold important
surprises that will target American and Israeli interests in the world.”
[Associated Press, 6/24/01] Author James Bamford theorizes that the original
9/11 plot involved a simultaneous attack on Israel and that shoe bomber Richard
Reid may have originally wanted to target an Israeli aircraft around this time.
For instance, Reid flies to Tel Aviv, Israel on July 12, 2001, to test if
airline security would check his shoes for bombs. [Bamford, 2004, pp 236-39]
Counterterrorism “csar” Richard Clarke also later
asserts that Tenet tells him around this time, “It's my sixth sense, but I feel
it coming. This is going to be the big one.” [Clarke, 2004, pp 235]
Jordanian intelligence (the GID) makes a
communications intercept deemed so important that King Abdullah's men relay it
to Washington. The message states that a major attack, code named “The Big
Wedding,” is planned inside the US and that aircraft will be used.

Britain gives the US another warning about an
al-Qaeda attack. The previous British warning on July 16, 2001, was vague as to
method, but this warning specifies multiple airplane hijackings. This warning is
said to reach President Bush. [Sunday Herald, 5/19/02]
The head of Russian intelligence also later
states, “We had clearly warned them” on several occasions, but they “did not pay
the necessary attention.” [Agence France-Presse, 9/16/01] A Russian newspaper on
September 12, 2001, claims, “Russian Intelligence agents know the organizers and
executors of these terrorist attacks. More than that, Moscow warned Washington
about preparation to these actions a couple of weeks before they happened.”
Interestingly, the article claims that at least two of the terrorists were
Muslim radicals from Uzbekistan. [Izvestia, 9/12/01]

President Bush takes the longest vacation in the history of the presidency and
avoids working in Washington D.C. Could the Secret Service be especially concerned
that a massive attack by Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda could take place on the
anniversary of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima (August 6)? The facts
suggest yes and Vice President
Cheney operates from a secret bunker across the country in the state of
Washington. Attorney General Ashcroft stops using commercial airplanes and
refuses to explain why. [Washington Post, 5/27/02]
