50% of americans are so stupid. proved again. (although there might be some wiggle-room around the edges re 'most')

"In 2001, an anonymous White House source leaked top-secret NSA intelligence to reporter Judith Miller that Al Qaida was planning a major attack on the United States. But the story never made it into the paper.this is not a new story, but it'll get play for some reason. i wrote about it in october: "someone was trying to get judy to 'pre-finger' the attacks on alqaida."
[]
Now, in an exclusive interview, Miller reveals how the attack on the Cole spurred her reporting on Al Qaida and led her, in July 2001, to a still-anonymous top-level White House source, who shared top-secret NSA signals intelligence (SIGINT) concerning an even bigger impending Al Qaida attack, perhaps to be visited on the continental United States."
i can't wait for emptywheel to get her chops ino this one. why is judy telling this story now? does it have anything to do with her joining the WSJ? why did she agree to tell her story to a couple of unknowns? what message is she sending? to who? is this a shot across the bow in retaliation for the way she is being treated by libby/cornstock? have the floodgates opened? have the aspens turned?
if im not mistaken this is the first time that judy has said the source for the story was from the WH.
interesting times.
ew - what you thinketh? (i think she's previously said there's nothing to the story - perhaps she will change her mind)

Well maybe this was just to cover up the fact that they ordered up the 9/11 attacks. I think I read in Imperial Hubris that Osama was being treated in a US Military hospital in Bahrain in July of 2001, so perhaps that's when they set the date for their long desired Trifecta.
yeah - i suspect you are correct kathleen. that's why i wrote that they were trying to 'pre-finger AlQ' - if jusy had written that AlQ were gonna do it, and then it happened, then nobody would doubt a word...
