2. Ashcroft tried to warn them
But he was speaking in tongues, and all that came out was "beware of calico cats . . ."

Seriously, if you believe LIHOP or MIHOP, then the selection of Ashcroft for AG, even though it seemed inexplicable at the time, suddenly makes sense. Who could be more clueless? Who, in the job of top law enforcement official, could stop flying commercial after being warned, and never ask why?

3. Too much information
I may have found the links that I will post below on this site. I just do not remember. If I did, then all due credit should go to whoever posted it.

I continue to hear that "we just could not have imagined that airliners would have been used as missiles".

Well I think if we do not have people in our government capable of pulling the following links together then we are in deep doodoo.

This links shows the pentagon disaster preparedness planning which simulated an airliner crashing into the Pentagon. On another board I was really slammed because it does not mention them being used as missiles. Are our planners so short sighted that they could only imagine an accidental crash?

http://www.mdw.army.mil/news/Contingency_Planning.html

This link shows there was concern in Italy about planes.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/globalisation/story/0,7369,519925,00.html

Or this report "'99 Report Warned Of Suicide Hijacking"
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/05/17/attack/main509471.shtml

And of course everyone knows about the Ashcroft commercial flying link.

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

When will the 9/11 commission tie these things together or am I being paranoid?
