Five hundred websites - many of them with an Arab or Muslim connection - crashed last Wednesday when an anti-terrorism taskforce raided InfoCom Corporation in Texas.
The 80-strong taskforce that descended upon the IT company included FBI agents, Secret Service agents, Diplomatic Security agents, tax inspectors, immigration officials, customs officials, department of commerce officials and computer experts.
Three days later, they were still busy inside the building, reportedly copying every hard disc they could find. InfoCom hosts websites for numerous clients in the Middle East, including al-Jazeera (the satellite TV station), al-Sharq (a daily newspaper in Qatar), and Birzeit (the Palestinian university on the West Bank). It also hosts sites for several Muslim organisations in the United States, among them the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim Students Association, the Islamic Association for Palestine, and the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development."

(I'm reposting this because I think it is hugely incriminating and suggests many interesting things that Condi didn't reveal.)
This appears to be the first action taken one day after the September 4th counter-terrorism task force meeting.
It suggests that they definitely knew of imminent domestic threats from radical Muslim militants.
It was also highly visible with press conferences suggesting that they might have been doing some butt covering for what was about to hit us one week later on 9/11 so they wouldn't look totally surprised.
But since Condi didn't tout this raid as a sign of her effectiveness, it suggests that 9/11 was too horrendous to admit to having the urgent foreknowldge that inspired this massive raid.
This massive interagency effort IS EVIDENCE THEY KNEW and the hundreds of people involved with organizing and analyizing this raid know and can tell the 9/11 whitewash commission plenty.
on edit, more:
Another complication: Condi's 9/11 speech on Missile Defense was upstaged.
The PNAC neocons most cherished tactic for world domination besides owning the Middle East oil is the weaponization of space, the ultimate 'air dominance.'
That's what they were laser-focused on (pun intended) instead of the 'unswatted flies' that killed 3000 Americans and blew up the Pentagon.
So this 9/11 catastrophe put their Star Wars plans on the back burner where they had put Clinton's and Richard Clarke's anti-terrorism efforts.
It seems that LIHOP, MIHOP, and systemic incompetence were ALL exploited at the same time and used to increase the defense budget and remilitarize and weaponize the entire American public culture so the 'anti-terror' efforts could feed their Star Wars efforts.
Look at the first weapon in space going up this summer and realize that this is what these neocons REALLY WANT to use to take over the world:

And the boys in Space Command are just getting warmed up. They wowed the salivating Bushist faithful in Congress with highly detailed plans for a whizbang space arsenal led by the "Rods From God" -- bundles of tungsten rods fired from orbiting platforms, hurtling toward earth at 3,700 meters per second, accurate within a range of 8 meters and able to destroy even the most hardened targets, the Center for Defense Information reports. They could be launched at only a few minutes' notice at any target on the planet.
"God's Rods" will be accompanied by orbiting lasers, "hunter-killer" satellites, and space bombers that needn't bother with silly-billy legal worries about "overflight rights" from other countries, but can descend out of the ether to swoop down on any uppity nation that displeases the world-Caesar in Washington.
This belligerent Buck-Rogering, long a gleam in many a militarist's eye, gained relentless momentum with the arrival of Don Rumsfeld as Pentagon war chief. In the late 1990s, while helping Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz plot their "Project for the New American Century" -- wholesale militarization of U.S. policy, aggressive war (including the invasion of Iraq even if Saddam Hussein was no longer there), "global dominance" of "vital energy resources," etc. -- Rumsfeld also headed a "blue-ribbon panel" of the usual Establishment worthies looking into "the role of space in national security." Their conclusion? You guessed it: Rummy said America must garrison the heavens to prevent a -- wait for it -- "space Pearl Harbor."
Oddly enough, over at PNAC, at about the same time, Rummy and Cheney were speaking openly about the possibility of a "new Pearl Harbor" that would "catalyze the American people" into supporting their plans, which were published in September 2000. Space weaponization -- via "missile defense" -- was an essential part of the scheme. Once in office, they shoveled billions to their favored defense cartels and fast-tracked space-weapon programs. Indeed, National Security Advisor Condi Rice intended to crown these early efforts with a major speech enshrining the Bush Regime's "top priority" for national security: "missile defense."
