Help me out ovah hyah

[kiki]

I posted a couple of days ago asking for some help with research, and I got several replies that were very useful. So here I am again.

I'm doing a short comic strip for a "collective"-based magazine and I need stuff on LIHOP/MIHOP, but ONLY stuff from before the event. Anything after the planes hit is no good.

If anyone's got good stuff on the 'put' options thing (or can explain it to an ignoramus like me), the 'live fly' exercises, US/UK military build-up around Afghanistan immediately prior to 9/11, Condi's 52 warnings, or anything else, I'd really appreciate it, and ideally from the most mainstream, least esoteric sources possible. And there's a small 'shout out' in a national (UK) magazine in it for ya.

Many thanks.
