Who received a letter stating the following on May 6th of 2001?
it said the following.
"With the concept of jihad, do you think it would be difficult for a determined terrorist to get on a plane and destroy himself and all other passengers?" he warned. "Think what the result would be of a coordinated attack which took down several domestic flights on the same day. With our current screening, this is more than possible. It is almost likely." The toll from such an attack would be economic, as well as human, he predicted with chilling accuracy.
John Kerry did according to Brian Sullivan, retired FAA special agent who "personally warned Kerry that Logan was ripe for a "jihad" suicide operation possibly involving "a coordinated attack.""
Mr. Sullivan followed up by having the undercover videotape showing the security failures at Logan hand delivered to Kerry's office. He received a reply from Kerry's office 11 weeks later:
"I have forwarded your tape to the Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General [DOT OIG],"
Yet Sullivan had made it clear in his letter that going to his old agency was a dead end. He and other agents had complained about security lapses for years and got nowhere. "The DOT OIG has become an ineffective overseer of the FAA," he told Kerry. Sullivan suggested he show the tape to peers on committees with FAA oversight. He even volunteered to testify before them.
But he never heard from Kerry again.
Was that the end of it? No. Another agent involved in the sting at Logan offered to fly to Washington at his own expense to give a presentation to Kerry on the lack of airport security. The response?
But a Kerry aide said not to bother. "You're not a constituent," Elson was told just a few weeks before the hijackings. He went ballistic, warning that if Kerry didn't act soon he'd risk the lives of planeloads of his actual constituents. That warning now looks like prophecy: At least 82 Kerry constituents were murdered aboard American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175.
YOU'RE NOT A CONSTITUENT?
Apparently Mr. Kerry didn't have the foresight to understand that security at Logan airport may affect the safety of his constituents,even if it was brought to his attention by someone who lived outside of Massachusets.
Certainly this was not our only intelligence failure surrounding the attacks on 09/11. Yet, the sheer hypocrisy of Kerry and his supporters is astounding in light of this information. They've accused the President of stonewalling the 09/11 commission, (when in fact they've been given unprecendented access to Presidential briefings), and accused the Bush administration of politicizing 09/11.
When will John Kerry be testifying before the commission?
