Expert: Bin Laden Warned of 'Unprecedented' Attack
Expert: Bin Laden Warned of 'Unprecedented' Attack
(Reuters) Sep 11, 11:19 AM ET
Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden warned three weeks ago that he and his followers would carry out an unprecedented attack on U.S. interests for its support of Israel, an Arab journalist with access to him said Tuesday.
Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi, an Arabic-language weekly news magazine, said Islamic fundamentalists led by bin Laden were "almost certainly" behind the attack of the World Trade Center in New York.
"It is most likely the work of Islamic fundamentalists. Osama bin Laden warned three weeks ago that he would attack American interests in an unprecedented attack, a very big one," Atwan told Reuters.
"Personally, we received information that he planned very, very big attacks against American interests. We received several warnings like this. We did not take it so seriously, preferring to see what would happen before reporting it."
Atwan has interviewed bin Laden and maintains close contacts with his followers. ...
This information was reported by Reuters on the day of 9/11. Some news outlets reported it, but many didn't or after initially reporting it, they later left out the reference to Israel. (On TV I only saw this report mentioned once and it looks like it slipped in because Tom Brokaw read from the news wire, reading it live on air without knowing what it was going to say. I didn't see him make one mention of it after) UPDATE: I found another mention, this time by CBS, where someone read this Reuters newswire to include the part mentioning Israel. Here is an example of where they didn't read “Israel”

Another Attack on RepresentativePress
Another Attack on Representative Press
Once again, someone has falsely claimed that one of my web pages or videos violates one of the terms of use of a particular site. This false report, which has disabled my googlepages site, is yet another attempt to censor my political speech.
This is the message I get at my page http://representativepress.googlepages.com/:
"This site has been disabled for violations of our Program Policies. If you feel this disabling was in error, please visit our contact page to let us know. Contact Us"
This is the latest sabotage of Representative Press. Those attempting to censor my political speech have used this tactic before. Hopefully Googlepages will re-enable my account soon. When they did this to a video I put on YouTube, YouTube saw these dirty tricks for what they were, thankfully. See my video: I Heard Back from the YouTube Team about the CENSORED VIDEO
Getting the truth out is a constant battle, I could use any help I can get. Please support Representative Press any way you can. I need to get more equipment and redouble my efforts. This Christmas Please Buy Your Christmas Gifts Through the Representative Press Store or make a donation to Representative Press
The site they managed to get deleted was the one I linked to from the banner at my YouTube account: "You can help spread the word, pass this link on to everyone you can" Please pass the link of my YouTube account on to everyone you can: http://www.youtube.com/representativepress
If anyone has any advice about getting a GooglePages website re-enabled, please leave a comment: See video: Another Attack on Representative Press: Website SABOTAGE

Please ask Lou Dobbs if this is his idea of journalism.
Dear Amy and Juan,
Please ask Lou Dobbs if this is his idea of journalism. When he had Michael Scheuer, the former chief of the CIA unit tracking Osama Bin Laden, on his show, Scheuer said that Bush and Clinton, both parties are lying about the very reason that we are being attacked by terrorists. This is an EXTREMELY SERIOUS FACT and one that goes unreported in mainstream media. I have never seen anyone in MSM actually say that the President is lying about this! What kind of journalist skips to the next question when he is presented with such an earth shattering statement?
Aired July 7, 2005:
DOBBS: And Michael, as we have reported here tonight, radical Islamist terrorism was not even one of the principal elements at the G-8 meeting until, of course, these tragic barbaric attacks today. What do you make of that?
SCHEUER: I make of the fact, sir, that unfortunately the politicians are very comfortable with preaching the idea that this is a very small group of people who are opposing us, and that they hate us for our freedoms and our liberties. The politicians really are at great fault for not squaring with the American people. We're being attacked for what we do in the Islamic world, not for who we are or what we believe in or how we live. And there's a huge burden of guilt to be laid at Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, both parties for simply lying to the American people.
DOBBS: Are you hopeful that we're going to see improved border security, improved homeland security, a real commitment?

Please do ask him about this. Is the fact that Bush, Clinton and the rest of the politicians are lying about the very reason America is being targeted by terrorists a non-issue to this guy?!? This was the clearest and most direct statement I have ever heard said on TV about this - and the only time I have heard Scheuer (or anyone ever) say they are actually LYING about this and Dobbs does no follow up? Please hold him accountable for this. Please ask him, this is too extreme not to note.
Sincerely,
Tom Murphy
Representative Press
