Remember Bush, Condi, and the gang saying they had no idea planes could be used as weapons?

I guess they didn't watch the pilot of LONE GUNMAN the spring before 9/11 on their friend Rupert Murdoch's Fox network.

(or read anything about Operation Bojinka, or hear about past wargames or wargames going on that day with that scenario, or....)

4. I'll bet they did watch it

and got the idea from there.

5. remember when they asked screenwriters to come up with terrorist scenarios for the White House?

Bush and Cheney must have lost their blockbuster card.

8. Wouldn't surprise me.

I've often wondered if they got the idea and then used their CIA assets to pass the idea along to the alledged hijackers/patsies.
But we'll never know I guess. :shrug:

10. Yep--a just-barely-plausible excuse for claiming a copycat crime. nt

9. Al Qaeda's "Project Bojinka" plot to fly hijacked airliners into Sears Tower and WTC was known

in 1995 when Abdul Hakim Murad was arrested.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Bojinka

A report from the Philippines to the United States on January 20, 1995 stated, "What the subject has in his mind is that he will board any American commercial aircraft pretending to be an ordinary passenger. Then he will hijack said aircraft, control its cockpit and dive it at the CIA headquarters."

Another plot the men were cooking up would have involved hijacking of more airplanes. The Sears Tower (Chicago, Illinois), The Pentagon (Arlington County, Virginia), the United States Capitol (Washington, DC), the White House (Washington, DC), the Transamerica Tower (San Francisco, California), and the World Trade Center (New York, New York) would be the likely targets.
