56. I wrote one of the first published timelines

of the Nine Eleven events.

To research this article, I called NORAD. Extremely polite group of folks handled my request for information, and they scheduled their spokesperson to allow me an interview, some 72 hours down the road.

In the meantime, I made extensive use of the internet.

(This was December 2001-January 2002 time period.)

On the CIA's official website, not a site with someone commenting on the CIA, but their official website, they had a group of sub-pages beneath their main page.

On one of these sub-pages was the remark that one of the current top priorities of the CIA was trying to figure out how to get American military personnel to turn on American citizens. That bit of text had been posted to that sub-page sometime in Spring of 2001.

i think that one of the goals attempted by PNAC crowd and the CIA was that they thought by having American service people go through two to six tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan that those people would be so shattered as human beings that they could be employed to turn on us civilians. Now some of these people are actually some of the hard line, ass hole police types we keep encountering in American life. However, most to the people who served multiple tours of duty are so over the top PTSD-ed and so injured from various tragedies, including surviving IED attacks, that the PNAC solution turned out to leave them with their original problem intact.
