Thanks for having me.

Yeah, the key warnings came in nineteen ninety-eight.

It was July and August where

They really were confident that bin Laden wanted to attack the US.

That's at least where some of the pieces came together.

But as you know, for a long time we viewed terrorism through a certain lens.

So when you say an airplane, people think hijacking and it's hard to get beyond that and to think differently and to try that your enemy is evolving in that way.

Yeah, I think they had a lot of pieces to where they likely could have thwarted parts of it.
