With less than a month left before the tenth anniversary of our last "new Pearl Harbor" Richard Clarke, the former security expert who impressed presidents from Reagan to Clinton to both Bushs with his insights on global terrorism, has "called into question the veracity of the government narrative that concluded who knew what and when."
Based on documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act and an interview with a former counterterrorism official, a little known military intelligence unit "was ordered by senior government officials to stop tracking Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda's movements prior to 9/11."
Tonight (Thursday 11 August 2011) Richard Clarke is expected to name a few names.
"And now, in a stunning new interview scheduled to air on a local PBS affiliate in Colorado tonight, former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, for the first time, levels explosive allegations against three former top CIA officials - George Tenet, Cofer Black and Richard Blee - accusing them of knowingly withholding intelligence from the Bush and Clinton White House, the FBI, Immigration and the State and Defense Departments about two of the 9/11 hijackers who had entered the United States more than a year before the attacks.
"Clarke also accused the former CIA officials of engaging in a cover-up failing to disclose to Congress and the 9/11 Commission key details about the two hijackers."
