On the Shelby Leak-Is it that the FBI knew on Sept 10th
that there would be an attack and didn't bother to translate the entire document or follow up? Or is it that a warning came through and no one knew about even the title of it until after September 11th because there was no one to translate it (ala Sibel Edmunds type complaint?)

1. I don't understand it either. On Olbermann he said it was something
Shelby said on 7/10 that "tomorrow is time 0" or something like that. That means somebody knew????
It will be interesting to see if anythings comes out of this.

2. My uncle (a retired Air Force Lt Col.) explained this to me just last week
What that refers to (in this case, I think) is that tomorrow would be Day minus zero...meaning the day something would happen.

Ex. The day they had heard this was Day minus one. Kind of like how D-Day was counted down.

Of course, anyone with military experience would be able to explain it better, but it does make this bit of info velly velly interesting. :hi:

4. That was the expression! Thanks. Now I understand where it came
from. But I still wonder if we will find anything out from this.

Shelby Target of Justice Probe Into 9/11 Leak
Saturday, July 24, 2004

WASHINGTON — Sen. Richard Shelby (search) is the target of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the leaking of the contents of classified phone intercepts received the day before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, congressional sources told FOX News.

Justice Department officials briefed members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (search) in closed session Thursday on Capitol Hill, naming the Alabama Republican as the target of the leak probe.

Law enforcement and congressional sources said the purpose of the briefing was to notify Congress of the department's intent to refer information collected to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics (search) for review. ....

Virginia Davis, Shelby's spokeswoman, told FOX she had "no additional information" about the case. Davis declined to say whether Shelby's office had asked the Ethics Committee if it had received any information from Justice about the probe. ....

An article came out that shows Shelby had been pushing for a broadened criminality bill in intelligence leaks
