Complete the story, they told us:

"Le Monde said the French report of January 2001 had been handed over to a CIA operative in Paris, but that no mention of it had ever been made in the official U.S. September 11 Commission, which produced its findings in July 2004."

relax... you read one 4 paragraph article discussing a situation about french secret service learning of a possible plot by islamic radicals to hijack a plane, in the year 2000.

Maybe you didn't notice but there was a big subheading at the bottom that reads "Specifics Unknown". Give it time for this to develope more.

But to tell you the truth, there are terrorist cells planning bombings and hijackings all the time. This may have been something completely "normal". And if the government was really confident that france was withholding crucial intel about 9/11 before it happened, I can assure you it would be viewed almost as an act of war in itself, and make them just as responsible.

Exactly.

Do you guys honestly know how many "plots" the CIA has notation of? I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet it is a lot.

Well maybe they can take 9|11 as an example and start focusing more on them and trying to prevent them more.

Hah I wish I could but $2,500 is alot of cash to fork up to go over there. I'd rather go over when I'm 18 with some friends for cheaper and do what I want without worrying about being chaperoned around.

Life goal number 14 for Kames Jelly.
14. French Kiss a French girl while in France.

This news bumped it down to number 15, replacing catch a fish with my bare hands.

Kids, Osama Bin Laden knew about 9/11 and he didnt do anything. Supposedly we knew about the attacks before according to the Faraheit 9/11 movie.

Well the Reuters and Le Monde reporters must be Gods or diplomats or something to know all about this inside stuff, and I guess you are too.

Fools. You make such ignorant statements it makes me laugh, check your sources before you start criticizing.
