(June 17, NYC). A surprise development occurred at today's hearing in the case of Susan Lindauer versus the United States. A long time associate of the accused, associate professor of computer science at Toronto's York University, Parke Godfrey, Ph.D., testified that Susan Lindauer predicted an attack on the United States in the southern part of Manhattan. According to his testimony, she said that the attack would be very similar to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Godfrey said that Lindauer made the prediction on several occasions, one as late as August 2001.

The testimony occurred in a hearing on Lindauer's competence to stand trial held before U.S. District Court Judge Loretta Preska, Southern District of New York, in lower Manhattan. On March 11, 2004, Lindauer was arrested for acting as an "unregistered agent" for the nation of Iraq prior to the U.S. invasion. Prosecutors have delayed the trial for over four years claiming Lindauer was delusional for asserting that she was a U.S. intelligence asset over a period of nine years, including the period covered by the indictment.

This was Lindauer's first real opportunity to argue her competence to stand trial and deny the delusions claimed by court psychiatrists. Lindauer asserts that she had been a U.S. intelligence asset since working on the Lockerbie case and subsequent antiterrorism efforts.

Appearing for the defense, Dr. Godfrey testified under oath that Lindauer told him of her specific concerns about an attack on the United States. She told him that a "massive" attack would occur in the southern part of Manhattan, involving airplanes and possibly a nuclear weapon. The witness said that she mentioned this in the year 2000, which coincided with the Lockerbie trial. And then in 2001, Lindauer also mentioned the anticipated attack in the spring, 2001 and then August 2001. Godfrey said, at that time, Lindauer thought an attack was "imminent" and that it would complete what was started in the 1993 bombing (the original World Trade Center bombing).

After the hearing, Lindauer elaborated that this extreme threat scenario was done in concert with the man she says was one of her CIA handlers, Dr. Richard Fuisz, who has been associated with U.S. intelligence.

An Exclusive Interview with Bush Political Prisoner Susan Lindauer

"I am furious about the abuse that I have suffered. I regard this as a Soviet-style attack on my rights to dissent from the government."

1. In August 2001, I predicted an attack on the WTC.

I am perfectly competent and hardly delusional.

(I have a credible witness to my comments if anyone doesn't believe.)

7. I believe you after the fact;)

2. That doesn't sound preposterous to me at all...

6. The witness who gave the history was incredibly credible by appearance and demeanor

He was calm and focused, deliberate, and he's a major database expert.

In that case, there's a quandary. The prediction wasn't random, according to Lindauer, it was worked
out through a process that arrived at the conclusion. That's good analysis. The introduction of
"prophesy" into the mix was a dodge by the prosecutor. What if they called the prediction
"the trifecta." It would still rest on the methodology and the accuracy. Who else predicted this
months before the strike. A few did and that's of interest. This confirms logically and from
behavior what the intel services of other countries found out by stealth. It's a pretty logical
process and not surprising.

4. Can this case get any more incredible?

Fabulous reporting.

Thank you, autorank!

5. Hey, thank you.

There's a measure of how significant these stories are that rarely get covered.

The people who brought us Judith Miller, the New York Times, showed up. The lead of their story was
that LIndauer stuck her tongue out at the judge. I was in the front row and had a perfect
view of Lindauer - this did not happen. She was animated and focused, given this is her first
real day in court, but the Times report is a hallucination or a big fib. Why would they do
something like this. Who knows? But MSM is done, not credibility to them unless they prove
it within the article.

8. July 7 testimony?

What the heck is this long delay between today and three weeks hence? A bit of psychological torture, perhaps? This guy Hoven sounds like a true blue backstabber. Is he on the per- prosecution's list of witnesses?

9. I'm fascinated by this whole case

I admit it had slipped from my mind until earlier. But then after a quick refresher I remembered how compelling the entire situation was.

Michael Collins aka DU's autorank, did an excellent job on the article. My congratulations.
