'I saw papers that show US knew al-Qa'ida would attack cities with aeroplanes'
Whistleblower the White House wants to silence speaks to The Independent

A former translator for the FBI with top-secret security clearance says she has provided information to the panel investigating the 11 September attacks which proves senior officials knew of al-Qa'ida's plans to attack the US with aircraft months before the strikes happened.

She said the claim by the National Security Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, that there was no such information was "an outrageous lie".

Sibel Edmonds said she spent more than three hours in a closed session with the commission's investigators providing information that was circulating within the FBI in the spring and summer of 2001 suggesting that an attack using aircraft was just months away and the terrorists were in place. The Bush administration, meanwhile, has sought to silence her and has obtained a gagging order from a court by citing the rarely used "state secrets privilege".

She told The Independent yesterday: "I gave details of specific investigation files, the specific dates, specific target information, specific managers in charge of the investigation. I gave them everything so that they could go back and follow up. This is not hearsay. These are things that are documented. These things can be established very easily."

Oh and UPI is running it in the WATIMES and AFFP wire copy on Yahoo... now if this leads the nightly news instead of job growth, we may be seeing a change here.

5. Pentagon/Rumbutt's Papers found at Starbucks....

A viewgraph stated that Commissioner BenVanista brought up the subject, and showed at least 9/10 occasions when top security had evidence of airplanes to be used as weapons....Rumbutt's Pentagon papers, stated that they were going discredit BenVanista.

It seems that someone in the Rumbutt office wanted the world to see what the bush criminals are really all about. Of course, the criminal media only comments about Martha Stewart's panties.
