upinwath Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 specific, credible but unconfirmed. What exactly does that mean? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/world-us-canada-14857416 9/11: Clinton says Al-Qaeda behind New York threat The US secretary of state has warned that al-Qaeda is behind a credible threat to Americans in the run-up to the anniversary of 9/11. Hillary Clinton said there had been a "specific, credible but unconfirmed report" of an attempt to target New York and Washington DC. Then we have .... http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/09/10/2-terror-suspects-us-911-anniversary-may-be-us-citizens.html 2 terror suspects in US' 9/11 anniversary may be US citizens US government officials say at least two of the men suspected of being involved in a possible al-Qaida attack to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks are believed to be U.S. citizens or have U.S. traveling documents. The officials say the information comes from a single source and it has not been confirmed. So the "intel" comes from a single source but no one is saying who. The threat is from someone who may or may not be a US citizen. I wonder if it's the same source as the WMD information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz1 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's odd that the US intelligence could not pick up 'reports' of the attacks that led to 9/11- such a major attack on home soil and you would think that the security forces could have seen it coming....but no. Hmmmm... 10 year anniversary....Bin Laden 'killed' in the same year....no body/proof....forces that apparently carried out the Osama assassination themselves die in a helicopter crash...(or it was reported as such)....now we have a 'specific, credible but unconfirmed' report of some sort of attack on 9/11 (what will the excuse be given as - Al Qaida Revenge for Bin Laden perhaps)??

You think they would publish the names, addresses and photographs of their intelligence sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagel Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 You'll never know if the threat is real or not, but the US were heavily criticised for not revealing the prior information on Lockerbie that they had received. Which way do you want it? Would you rather threats were revealed to the public or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they're going to have more and better intelligence now. Hmmmm... 10 year anniversary....Bin Laden 'killed' in the same year....no body/proof....forces that apparently carried out the Osama assassination themselves die in a helicopter crash...(or it was reported as such)....now we have a 'specific, credible but unconfirmed' report of some sort of attack on 9/11 (what will the excuse be given as - Al Qaida Revenge for Bin Laden perhaps)?? Yeah, it just couldn't have been your fellow travelers could it? Take your conspiracy nonsense elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nineteen66 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yeah, it just couldn't have been your fellow travelers could it? Take your conspiracy nonsense elsewhere. Is it due to some 8000 plus posts that you have now become Lord of the Manor or do you not want someone else that considers alternative thought posting on your forum. Carry on asking the questions Baz1. People need to do that. Oh and for your information the Seal Team 6 that died were being flown by a Nebraska National Guardsman in a Chinook CH-47 (not the MH-47 Special version as should have been). I will leave you with a quote from someone else on that. 'Why on earth was this young man and his flying crew backup for DEVGRU SPECOPs in a National Guard CH-47? What happened to the 160th SOAR? SOP is to spread those 20 in at least 3 MH-47 Special Operations Chinooks. What were they thinking??' Think on it as you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
