Dear friends !
An unbeliveable story develops this morning
in Germany: The attacks could have been prevented, if the US authorities
would have listened !!!!!
Here the informations from the german TV-station n-tv, a daughter
company of CNN:
Phone from prison
Warning of an asylum-seeker was ignored
An iranian asylum-seeker, that is sitting in deportation-prison near Hannover (Germany) has warned the US Secret Service before the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. That reports the newspaper Neue Presse.
The iranian, who is sitting in the prison of Langenhagen (Germany) has mentioned the americans by phone this week as the time of a serie of attacks. They have not believed him in USA. The man was interrogated by the state attorney and american secret service agents.
The 29 year old man has told the prisonguards since one month, he would have important informations for the USA and he had to call there urgently. They allowed him that. But when he identified himself as an inmate, the phone was hung up.
Even hours before the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon he asked with no success for the permission, to send the US president a fax.
The department of Justice of Lower-Saxony (Niedersachsen, Germany) had
heard from the phonecalls on Wednesday and reported to the department of
the interior of the country, which reported to the state Department of
Interior.
Warning also from France
There also was a warning from France to the USA. The US federal police has ignored a warning, that could have prevented the katastrophe. That reports the french radiostation Europe 1. According to them, the french secret service informed the us federal police about the connections of a militant moslem to Osama bin Laden, who was arrested in August in Boston.
The Algerian had several passprts, technical informations about planes
of the brand Boeing and flight plans with him.
The french secret service informed his us-colleagues, that the man
belongs to a pakistan-afghanistan network which is educating fighters for
the islamic leader bin Laden.
The US Authorities have not reacted on these informations. The research,
that could have prevented that all, was not started, so the result.

A parent sent this to me and I thought I would share.
It's my job to have something to say
By Leonard Pitts Jr.
Tribune Media Services
They pay me to tease shades of meaning from social and cultural issues, to provide words that help make sense of that which troubles the American soul.
But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears sting disbelieving
eyes,
the only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit,
must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering. You monster.
You beast.
You unspeakable bastard. What lesson did you hope to teach us
by your coward's attack on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, us? What
was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, please know that
you failed.
Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause.
Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve.
Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together.
Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family,
a family rent by racial, cultural, political and class division, but a
family nonetheless.
We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending tremendous emotional energy
on pop cultural minutiae a singer's revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune,
a cartoon mouse.
We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and material goods, and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement. We are fundamentally decent, though - peace-loving and compassionate. We struggle to know the right thing and to do it. And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith, believers in a just and loving God.
Some of you, perhaps, think that any or all of this makes us weak. You're mistaken. We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals.
Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock. We're
still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did, still working
to make ourselves understand that this isn't a special effect from some
Hollywood blockbuster, isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel.
Both in terms of the awful scope of its ambition and the probable final
death toll, your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism
in the history of the United States and indeed, the history of the world.
You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before. But there's
a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall. This
is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone
hit us this hard, the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental
pain. When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force.
When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering, pay
any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice. I tell you
this without fear of contradiction. I know my people, as you, I think,
do not. What I know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble with dread
of the future.
In days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation, fingers
pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen and what can
be done to prevent it from happening again. There will be heightened security,
misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms. We'll go forward from this moment
sobered, chastened, sad. But determined, too. Unimaginably determined.
You see, there is steel beneath this velvet. That aspect of our character
is seldom understood by people who don't know us well. On this day, the
family's bickering is put on hold. As Americans we will weep, as Americans
we will mourn, and as Americans, we will rise in defense of all that we
cherish.
Still, I keep wondering what it was you hoped to teach us. It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message received. And take this message in exchange:
You don't know my people. You don't know what we're about. You don't know what you just started.
But you're about to learn.
