On February 28th, 2002 Josh S. Weston, Honorary Chairman of BENS, testified, that in early 2001, Warren Rudman and he delivered and discussed their "Tail-Tooth Call to Action with each of the incoming new service secretaries and their deputies. Starting with Donald Rumsfeld and Pete Aldridge, each of them enthusiastically endorsed our blueprints for action. Secretary Rumsfeld indicated so as recently as last September 10th."
The Tail-Tooth Call to Action was a blueprint "to redirect unnecessary and wasteful overhead resources", which had been already used before Sep11th.

Assistant President of the Tail-to-Tooth Commission Commission is Paul E. Taibl, a retired Air Force officer and former command pilot, airlift planner and senior fellow in the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University.
Vice President of the TTT commission, which tried to "change Pentagon business practices" before Sep11th is Kenneth D. Beeks, another retired Navy test pilot who joined the BENS staff in June 2000.

2 months earlier, BENS was joined by Michael W. Doubleday
Vice President for Communications, former deputy spokesman for the Pentagon from 1995 to July 1999 and part of the military public affairs operation in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (->) during the Gulf War.

Eric Fanning from CBS National News joined in March 2001 as Vice President for Strategic Development.
BENS currently partners with New Jersey Homeland Security (->).

Linda Millis from the NSA and CIA joined one month earlier, in February 2001 as Vice President for "New Threats".
http://www.bens.org/who_staff.html

From 1994-96, Millis was the Assistant Director on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Her expertise at the NSA was in intelligence programs management, arms control and Russian military and political affairs.

During early 2001 Millis was working as the Deputy Chief of Cryptologic Services Group of the CIA, where she briefed the Deputy Director of Intelligence daily and contributed to the Presidents Bush Daily Brief.

Millis hold a Master in Public Policy from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (->).

Millis resides in Vienna, Virginia, the same city, where reportedly also official hijackers Saled Alghamdi and Waleed M. Alshehri lived.

Vienna is also home of CIA officers CIA agents Noel E. Firth and James H. Noren and FinCen (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) (-> James Fl. Sloan ->)

In May 2002, FinCen started "vehemently" to deny a U.N. report that "Mohamed Atta, one of the terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center, received a transfer of funds into his U.S. account which was flagged by his bank", while it was already reported different in the official indictment against Zacarias Moussaoui.

ADDENDUM:

-On Maxwell Air Force Base (General Charles G. Boyd, BENS) :

On September 17th, 2001 the Air Force confirmed, that Mohammed Atta trained at a US Air Base. Or was that "another" Mohammad Atta No.2?:

"...Air Force spokesman Col. Ken McClellan said a man named Mohamed Atta -- which the FBI has identified as one of the five hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11 -- had once attended the International Officer's School at Maxwell/Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala."

http://www.pressconnects.com/archive/attack/storie s/091701N1.html

NOTE:
McClellan later denied his own report and claimed, it was another Atta, who worked there.

-Pete Aldridge, who was briefed by BENS' "Tail-Tooth Call"-commission, was also the same guy, who confirmed the development and use of thermobarics, a microwave weapon systems, which was used in ToraBora and also confirmed having been tested in the desert of Nevada.

At that time, thermobarics violated the ABM Treaty.
When reports on new mini nuclear systems became more popular during Summer and late 2001 (Global Outlook- M. Chussodovsky, Nuclear watch of New Mexico, Albuquerque News etc...), President Bush decided to end the ABM Treaty.

Thermobarics (or vacuum bombs) are able to pulverise buildings and human mankind and had been developed by Jay C Davis (ANSER, DTHRA etc...) to destroy buried chemical- bioweapon stocks.

December 21nd 2001, 10 AM , DoD press conference, Pete Aldridge:

"...we skipped a laser-guided bomb into a tunnel and exploded it with a delay fuse.."
