"The United States was warned of impending September 11 terrorist attacks by an Iranian spy, but ignored him, German secret service agents testified yesterday in the trial of an alleged al-Qaida terrorist.
The spy, identified as Hamid Reza Zakeri, tried to warn the CIA after leaving Iran in 2001, but was not believed, two German officers who interviewed him told the Hamburg court. "
Hmmmmm...... intelligence "failure" is right. I guess our national security agents were either told to ignore or dismiss these claims at the expense of 3,000 Americans. So, who is responsible? Certainly not our President and his advisors, for they are trying to block the investigation. Could it be they knew about it, but were waiting for it to happen anyway so they would have a good reason to invade Afganistan and Iraq and roll out the Patriot Act and start Homeland Defense?
Is there anything like accountability any more?
