Huffman wasn't the only Florida flight school which authorities "miraculously" knew to descend upon in the hours following the attack.

Kristen Breitweiser, grilling senior FBI agents:

"I don’t understand, with all the warnings about the possibilities of Al Qaeda using planes as weapons, and the Phoenix Memo from one of your own agents warning that Osama bin Laden was sending operatives to this country for flight-school training, why didn’t you check out flight schools before Sept. 11?"

"Do you know how many flight schools there are in the U.S.? Thousands," a senior agent protested. "We couldn’t have investigated them all and found these few guys."

"Wait, you just told me there were too many flight schools and that prohibited you from investigating them before 9/11," Kristen persisted. "How is it that a few hours after the attacks, the nation is brought to its knees, and miraculously F.B.I. agents showed up at Embry-Riddle flight school in Florida where some of the terrorists trained?"

"We got lucky," was the reply.

It was just as "quick" as the decision to stampede into Iraq. Mr. "Sweep It All Up" Rumsfeld had the plans stashed away in his desk drawer, waiting for just the right moment. September 11 gave it to them.


Thanks for pointing out this quote, Gidney N Cloyd.

It will be a very long time before we will ever know what happened. Maybe our children will.

In the 16 years that have transpired since the stolen election of 2000, it all still makes me sick to my stomach.
