Reply #53: It is even worse that you could ever imagine!

When Director of the CIA George Tenet flew down to Crawford Texas, for a meeting with Bush on August 24, 2001, he not only knew that Moussaoui had been arrested in Minnesota, when the FBI thought he was a al Qaeda terrorist trying to get simulator training on a B747 aircraft but even knew that Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi were inside of the US.

But what is even , more horrific Tenet knew as did Cofer Black, CTC head, and Richard Blee, head of the CIA Bin Laden unit and many other people at the CIA that Mihdhar and Hazmi were inside of the US only in order to take part in a massive al Qaeda attack that would kill thousands of Americans. Emails from Tom Wilshire, the CIA manager that had been moved over to the FBI in mid-May 2001 to spy on the FBI Cole bombing investigators, back to his CIA managers, Blee, Black, and Tenet confirm that the CIA knew Mihdhar and Hazmi were going to take part of the next big al Qaeda attack, an attack that the CIA had been warned about since April 2001.

This was the al Qaeda attack that Tenet, Black, Blee had warned Rice and Clarke about on July 10, 2001, at an emergency meeting at the White House. Wilshire’s assignment was to find out what the FBI Cole bombing investigators knew about the al Qaeda planning meeting in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia in January 2000, and if they knew that Mihdhar and Hazmi had been at that meeting with Walid Bin Attash actually planning the Cole bombing. This is the information that the CIA had been desperately trying to keep secret, and away from the FBI Cole bombing investigators so the CIA culpability in allowing the attack on the USS Cole was kept secret. Wilshire found out at the June 11, 2001 meeting he set up between the FBI Cole bombing investigators, FBI HQ and the CIA that these investigators did not even know who Mihdhar and Hazmi were when FBI HQ agent Dina Corsi showed them photographs from Kuala Lumpur of Mihdhar and Hazmi and CIA officer Clark Shannon asked these FBI investigators if they could recognize any of these al Qaeda terrorists. In July when Wilshire became aware that these al Qaeda terrorists were connected to the massive warnings of a huge al Qaeda attack that would kill thousands of Americans, he was denied twice by his CIA managers, Blee, Black and Tenet, from giving this information to the these FBI investigators. His job was not only to spy on the FBI but to make sure the information on Mihdhar and Hazmi never reached the FBI Cole bombing investigators even though the CIA and even the FBI HQ knew these al Qaeda terrorists had taken part in the planning of the Cole bombing.


So what did Tenet tell Bush about this when he went to Crawford for a 6 hour meeting with Bush on August 24, 2001. We don’t know and probably will never know, because of Tenet's lies to the 9/11 Commission. On April 14, 2001, at the 9/11 public hearings, Tim Roemer asked Tenet if he knew in August 2001 that a huge al Qaeda attack was about to take place, an attack that would kill thousands of Americans, what did he tell the President of the US. Tenet said he had not talked to the President in August 2001. Roemer then asked him why and Tenet said that he, Tenet, was in Washington DC and the President was in Crawford Texas. Then Roemer asked him if he picked up the phone and called Bush with this horrific information. Tenet said no he had not and said he could not go beyond this as his explanation.

Everyone in that room listening to Tenet knew he was lying, but Roemer and the 9/11 Commission did not call him out on these lies, so at this point they could not ask him further what he had told the President.

But what is even more horrific is that when the FBI Cole bombing investigators accidentally found out that both Mihdhar and Hazmi were inside of the US, on August 28, 2001, and even knew they were in the US to take part in an al Qaeda terrorist attack, Wilshire and Corsi shut down their investigation of Mihdhar and Hazmi, and forced his him and his investigators to destroy all of the information they had on Mihdhar and Hazmi. Since senior managers at both the CIA and FBI HQ knew about this huge al Qaeda attack, they had to know that by shutting down the FBI Cole bombing investigators investigation of Mihdhar and Hazmi, thousands of Americans would perish in these attacks.

All of this information is now detailed in "Prior Knowledge of 9/11", also available in a Kindle version.
