The CIA knew that they were coming here.
They should have informed the FBI because the FBI does domestic surveillance of terrorists, but the CIA didn't.
The CIA withheld that information purposely.
They knew that two known, identified terrorists
Al-Qaeda operatives were coming into the United States.
They purposely did not tell the FBI.
Those two hijackers lived here for 18 months, planned, met up with the other hijackers, ultimately carried out the 9-11 attacks.
In fact, those two hijackers were the ones that allegedly flew the plane into the Pentagon.
Having said that, so we have Richard Clarke's look back all the way to the millennium 2000.
In addition to the two hijackers that came into the country at that point, we also had the arrest of Ahmad Rassam.
He was picked up over the border coming into Seattle.
Rassam was connected
to the Al Qaeda cell that carried out 9-11.

Clinton is in there full-time.
Berger is the national security advisor.
Susan Rice is in there.
