David Reinhard paints Howard Dean's mention of the possibility the Bush administration had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks as ludicrous, lumping it in with black-helicopter conspiracy theories (Dec. 18).
Yet according to published mainstream news accounts collected at www.cooperativeresearch.org, no fewer than 12 nations warned the United States through various intelligence channels that an attack was imminent, that it would involve suicide pilots and that it would target prominent landmarks.
The countries warning us included Egypt, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Russia, France and Israel. Some warnings were very specific. Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, reportedly sent an emissary to Washington, D.C., on Aug. 23, 2001, with a list of 19 names, four of whom have been confirmed the match the names of hijackers.
To date, there is scant public evidence that the Kean Commission, charged with investigating 9/11, has traced or will trace at what level these warnings were received.
