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.

1. John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial planes in summer 2001.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/07/26/national/main303601.shtml

"In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a "threat assessment" by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term. "

Gee, you fucking think?

2. Paul Thompson's 9/11 timeline has pre-9/11 information

Paul Thompson's Complete 911 Timeline covers pre-9/11 information from a variety of sources, mostly mainstream.

Here's the link for the stuff you want: Period of 2000 - 9/11


Paul also posts here if you need help.

4. Thanks, kids...

Much appreciated.

Sorry for posting in the wrong bit; for some reason I thought the 9/11 forum was a group, and I can't post on those.
