NY Times: Egypt warned U.S. of a Qaeda plot, Mubarak asserts -- "Egyptian intelligence warned American officials about a week before Sept. 11 that Osama bin Laden's network was in the advance stages of executing a significant operation against an American target, President Hosni Mubarak said in an interview on Sunday." (Free registration required) Reuters: No specific warning of attack from Egypt, U.S. says Middle East Times: Egypt, Arabs had warned against terrorist attacks against the US -- Note the date of this article is September 12, 2001.

Reuters: White House seeks limit on release of Enron papers -- Why is this not surprising? Christian Science Monitor: Pakistani president at the fulcrum of crisis -- "'I personally don't feel that Musharraf can control these groups,' said Tariq Rahman, a professor at Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad. "There are groups that want to embarrass him; they have their own version of Islamization.'" Washington Post: CIA failed to share intelligence on hijacker -- "The CIA possessed disturbing information about one of the Sept. 11 hijackers months before it was previously disclosed and could have used that knowledge to prevent him from renewing his visa to enter the United States prior to the attack on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, a senior administration official said yesterday." Newsweek: The hijackers we let escape William Safire: J. Edgar Mueller -- "Under the police powers it operated under last year, and with the lawful cooperation of a better-managed C.I.A., an efficiently run F.B.I. might well have prevented the catastrophe of Sept. 11. That is the dismaying probability that Congressional oversight (it should be called undersight) will begin to show this week." David Corn thinks Mueller has been chosen to take the fall over intelligence failures. |
