Reply #45: Well, any information that was a result of torture [View All]

is meaningless, so I discount anything supposedly said by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. However, there were so many terror attacks eg, during the Reagan administration on US Interests around the world and again during the Clinton administration and many more stopped, that everyone basically knew for years, that there was a good chance of an attack here in the US.

The '93 bombing plot was known to the Intel community before it happened, and in fact they were in contact with an informer during the planning of the attack. It happened very early on in Clinton's administration, but was planned for a long time before that. This story needs to be paid attention to. That plot was intended to bring down both towers but failed. And everyone in the Intel. community knew they would try again.

Which is why the Clinton administration was so vigilant about the issue. Not to mention that attacks on US interests in other parts of the world, continued. The Cole, the Embassy Bombings, back in Reagan's years, the Achille Lauro, the killing of over 200 US soldiers etc. etc. And terror attacks around the world escalated after the Invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, to the point where the Bush admin tried to stop the annual global terror report from being published.

It was apparent that the US was under attack for decades. So it is unforgivable that a US President would dismiss the many warnings he received and simply go on vacation after being told that an attack was imminent. I doubt Reagan, or even Bush Sr, and certainly not Clinton, would have done that.
