Again, why would you not want to have a full investigation of this?

I'm not saying that's not relevant.

I'm saying, though, that when you're briefed on a capability that clearly Condoleezza Rice and others said, oh, we knew something was coming a little bit. You know, they were all these memos. And that's a mystery we've asked to be told, too, because we were stood down. We were trying to say, as Kurt indicated, something's happening. We need to be on top of this.

Captain Scott Philpott was calling me constantly to go around his chain so we could reactivate this. I had a clandestine location there. In Old Town, Alexandria, he actually called me one time and says, can we use your clandestine location to springboard and get this going again? It's like, yeah, if you can do it. So why did they? We don't know.

I've got the five things for you. I think there's five likely events. We'll go through them one by one. First is... Government incompetence. They were completely just, nobody knew what the hell they were doing. Keystone cops all the way. And the 9-11 report is correct. That's one presumption. It's like, yeah, it's exactly like they said it. John Layman wrote the narrative. Everything is accurate.

Competence is, I think, a factor, no doubt.

Okay, a controlled operation that went wrong. Okay.

There is allegations, we've talked about them today, that at least two of the individuals were under control of CIA, that the FBI was also involved in some level because a guy named Anwar al-Awlaki, my friend Catherine Herridge is reporting on him, Anwar al-Awlaki was a controlled asset of the FBI who actually moved two of the 9-11 hijackers around, who later was assassinated as a U.S.

citizen by Barack Obama in Yemen, he and his son. Anwar al-Awlaki, there he is. He was, I would argue, I don't want to get off track here, but Anwar al-Awlaki actually lectured at the Pentagon in 2004 because he was brought in for, but he was actually handling two of the 9-11 individuals. He actually gave them a tour. He was out of there. Based on that, there could have been an aspect of the U.S.

government controlling individuals and them getting out of control. There's a movie called The Siege, which kind of covers this, if you remember that, with Bruce Willis and Denzel Washington. I was once told by a Pentagon official, by the way, in a random moment that, oh, that would never happen, which was a strange moment to look back on at this point.
