Rice's Big Lie Exposed=20
By 1994 Plane Incidents
From Dan Perez
4-8-4
KEAN: I've got a question now I'd like to ask you. It was given =
to me by a number of members of the families.=20
=20
Did you ever see or hear from the FBI, from the CIA, from any =
other intelligence agency, any memos or discussions or anything else =
between the time you got into office and 9-11 that talked about using =
planes as bombs?=20
=20
RICE: Let me address this question because it has been on the =
table.=20
=20
I think that concern about what I might have known or we might =
have known was provoked by some statements that I made in a press =
conference. I was in a press conference to try and describe the August =
6th memo, which I've talked about here in my opening remarks and which I =
talked about with you in the private session.=20
=20
And I said, at one point, that this was a historical memo, that =
it was _ it was not based on new threat information. And I said, No one =
could have imagined them taking a plane, slamming it into the Pentagon _ =
I'm paraphrasing now _ into the World Trade Center, using planes as a =
missile.=20
=20
As I said to you in the private session, I probably should have =
said, I could not have imagined, because within two days, people started =
to come to me and say, Oh, but there were these reports in 1998 and =
1999. The intelligence community did look at information about this.=20
=20
To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Chairman, this kind of analysis =
about the use of airplanes as weapons actually was never briefed to us.=20
=20
I cannot tell you that there might not have been a report here =
or a report there that reached somebody in our midst.=20
=20
Part of the problem is _ and I think Sandy Berger made this =
point when he was asked the same question _ that you have thousands of =
pieces of information -- car bombs and this method and that method _ and =
you have to depend to a certain degree on the intelligence agencies to =
sort to tell you what is actually relevant, what is actually based on =
sound sources, what is speculative.=20
=20
RICE: And I can only assume or believe that perhaps the =
intelligence agencies thought that the sourcing was speculative.=20
=20
All that I can tell you is that it was not in the August 6th =
memo, using planes as a weapon. And I do not remember any reports to us, =
a kind of strategic warning, that planes might be used as weapons. In =
fact, there were some reports done in '98 and '99. I was certainly not =
aware of them at the time that I spoke. "=20
-----------------=20
=20
If Rice couldn't have imagined planes being flown into =
buildings, why did she call up San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown on the =
night of September 10th and warn him not to fly the next day?=20
=20
I guess she missed the hijacking of an Air France plane in 1994, =
which was all over the media, where there were fears the plane would be =
crashed into the Eiffel Tower in Paris or into buildings in New York if =
the plane was allowed to come to the U.S.;=20

=20
"A radical group of Algerian insurgents who hijacked an Air =
France plane in 1994 planned to blow up the aircraft over the Eiffel =
Tower before their plot was foiled, a former top militant was quoted as =
saying.=20
=20
A commando of 10 insurgents planned to hijack a plane leaving =
Algiers in December 1994, blowing it up over the French capital, Omar =
Chikhi, a former leader of the Armed Islamic Group, said in an interview =
published Saturday in El Youm newspaper.=20
=20
The aircraft never reached Paris. The group hijacked the plane =
on Christmas Eve 1994, killing three passengers, but the operation ended =
in Marseille when a French intervention squad stormed the plane and =
killed the hostage-takers."=20
--------=20
=20
I guess she also missed the mass media news stories of the =
nutcase who stole a Cessna plane on the night of September 11th, 1994, =
and flew it(some say it was remote controlled) into the White House;=20
=20

=20
"According to the mainstream media, at about 2300 hrs on 11 =
September 1994, Frank Eugene Corder stole a single-engine Cessna 150L =
plane from an airport north of Baltimore, then headed south to =
Washington, flying over the National Zoological Park and down to the =
Mall, probably using the Washington Monument as a beacon. As he neared =
the famed obelisk, he banked a tight U-turn over the Ellipse, came in =
low over the White House South Lawn, clipped a hedge, skidded across the =
green lawn that girds the South Portico and crashed into a wall two =
stories below the presidential bedroom."=20
------=20
=20
The only way Rice couldn't have imagined a "plane crashing into =
a building" scenario is if she has no contact with the outside world and =
is totally out of touch with reality.=20
