The Deafness Before the Storm: New York Times

24. I know what you are referring to....it was Gary Hart

Gary Hart, the former Colorado senator and two-time democratic presidential candidate, joins us in our firehouse studio. He was the youngest member of the Church Committee that investigated illegal wiretapping, CIA assassination plots and other abuses of governmental power. He also met with Condoleezza Rice five days before 9/11 and warned her of a terrorist attack. [includes rush transcript]

The Canadian headlines read, "Hart predicts a terrorist attack"–that’s Gary Hart, the former Colorado senator and two-time democratic presidential candidate who co-chaired the U.S. Commission on National Security with former Republican senator Warren Rudman. Hart had given his speech in Montreal. Interestingly enough, he was addressing the Air Transportation Association.

He then flew to Washington and met with Condoleezza Rice in the White House. He issued the same warning. It was September 6, 2001. Rice said she’d talk to the Vice President. Five days later, four planes were hijacked. Three ripped into the Pentagon and world trade towers. 3,000 people died.
