Ex-CIA Operative Warns of Terror Attack – 60 Minutes

December 24, 2009 by national
Henry Crumpton a former CIA operative with the most direct experience fighting al Qaeda on the ground and who predicted the 9/11 attacks has “no doubt” the terrorist organization will strike U.S. soil again and will talk about this and more in an interview on 60 Minutes, Sunday evening.

Henry Crumpton, the ex-CIA mastermind of the war on the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan right after 9/11, also tells 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan the U.S. needs to be in Pakistan making deals with locals to fight the Qaeda and Taliban leaders hiding there.

"There will be an attack in the homeland …sadly…I think we’ll be hit again," says Crumpton. Asked by Logan whether he had any doubts, he replies, "None." The former CIA man on the ground in Afghanistan days after 9/11 says the future attack could be greater than the one that killed nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001. http://www.nationalterroralert.com/updates/2009/12/24/ex-cia-operative-warns-of-terror-attack-60-minutes/

Terror hero: I didn't hesitate

"When it went off, everybody panicked ... Then someone screamed, ‘Fire! Fire!"

Schuringa, sitting in seat 20J, in the right-most section of the Airbus 330, looked to his left. "I saw smoke rising from a seat ... I didn’t hesitate. I just jumped," he said.

Schuringa dove over four passengers to reach Abdul Mutallab’s seat. The suspect had a blanket on his lap. "It was smoking and there were flames coming from beneath his legs."

1. Kinda like predicting a heat wave in the Sahara.

[Robb]

5. Indeed.

I remember an old Bloom County where the mystic predicted "trouble in the Middle East."

If I recall correctly one of the characters said something like "Really? And will there be sand involved?" :D

[Jeffersons Ghost]

6. I totally agree but when I posted the OP a few days ago...

Where the CIA operative made the OBVIOUS prediction, I got stuff like this in the thread:
We need to knock out the Taliban Fleet that's threatening Staten Island.
Not to mention the two-headed grizzly bear under the bed.

<“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. Yup. True then, true now.

[KamaAina]

3. dupe

self-delete

[Nikki Stone1]

4. Part of me wonders if DHS is a bit peeved at Schuringa for interfering.

:tinfoilhat:

If that rule of not leaving your seat had been in force, Schuringa could not have moved and the plane would have been history.

[valerief]

8. DHS was (tin) foiled again! (Although I think you're actually right about this.) nt

[Nikki Stone1]

15. Lol!

:D

[havocmom]

10. Pyro Panties?

AKA Nitro Knickers?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

11. LOL anther good one... this thread might become funn after all...

anymore new nick-names?

[havocmom]

12. Mr. Ghost, where the CIA is a topic, I have to laugh

to keep from sobbing

[Jeffersons Ghost]

13. I know what you mean...

but I LOVE digging up dirt on the intelligence community

[havocmom]

17. Any effort for the good guys in the battle of bad spook/good spook is fine by me

Oh, the tales we could probably not swap ;)

[Jeffersons Ghost]

18. you wouldn't believe me if I told some of the tales we can "not swap."

It all started with my job in the Navy hunting and monitoring Soviet and Chinese Submarines.

See what I mean?

[havocmom]

25. Then, there's my step-niece-in-law's brother-in-law's russian babe girlfriend

and the daughter of that Nicaraguan rebel ex-roommate of my sister's who used to work in the Reagan administration... but enough about family...

Yeah, I know. Amazing what one can pick up just paying attention. Amazing how much most people miss

[whatchamacallit]

22. Congratulations

they've got you shitting yourself with fear

[Jeffersons Ghost]

28. yeah, terrorism stories always scared me. YOU BETCHA!!!

What really scares me is that DC sell-outs are licking their chops waiting to destroy more freedoms like they did with USA Patriot Act 1&2.

[lunatica]

23. More like Pyro Dud

Good thing too.

[TheKentuckian]

24. To be fair, even with hardcore and illegal law enforcement we should be getting hit

fairly regularly if the threat is a quarter of the seriousness portrayed.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

27. if it's not 1/4 as serious, it will be if we stay in Iraq forever

[Ohio Joe]

30. Attacks have been predicted on a regular basis since 9/11

It would be naive to think we would not be attacked again.

[Generator]

31. Pyro panties and flaming underwear

I see God and some have not lost their sense of humour. Though bejezus knows we should.
