Official: FBI interviewed older suspect in 2011

13. I would not be terribly surprised to hear that authorities were aware of a possible threat ...

I noticed that in the day after, when various authorities were questioned about whether or not they knew anything beforehand, all of them seemed to be reading from the same script, wherein there was a modifier before the word 'evidence' ...

I cannot recall offhand what the exact word was, but just to give an example of what I mean, imagine that every official interviewed had said "There was no 'credible' evidence of a threat", or "There was no 'actionable' intelligence" ... that sort-of thing, but neither of those were the actual words.

It kinda reminded me of the way Condi tried to weasel her way out of admitting that the Bushies actually had a metric shit-ton of warnings that 9/11 was about to occur.

However, at least it appears that the authorities in THIS case ... actually tried to DO SOMETHING in response to the intel, rather than, you know, headin' on down to ranch to clear scrub for a month ... meanwhile the system was 'blinking red' and the CIA chief's hair was "on-fire" with worry that we were about to suffer a major attack from OBL's gang.

I'm not arguing that I'm sure it's the case, far from it ... only that I'm a little suspicious based on the wording used at the time.

Also, I don't think ANY intelligence agency is going to say outright, the day after something like this happens, "oh, yeah ... we had all kinds of warnings, we just thought we had it under control ... OOPS, sorry everyone!" That shit ain't NEVER gonna happen ... no matter who is POTUS.
