FBI, CIA Warn Congress of More Attacks As Blair Details Case Against Bin Laden (washingtonpost.com)
I believe the only possible response to that is ... DUH.
Let's get real, shall we? anyone who thought that September 11 was all that there would be is not very bright.
Then again, Ashcroft apparently thought that the media -- a media which has been in war frenzy for a solid three weeks now, and pouncing on the administration's every utterance -- would somehow not notice that he'd said that there would be more attacks. On a morning news show. Yes. Well. Perhaps some of the dimness is in the Justice department.
Interestingly, it looks like some people will receive warning of moves on Afghanistan. The FBI is apparently going to be given notice so that it can go on hyperalert. I daresay that means that anyone who has ever been suspected of even thinking about looking at a terrorist will be detained for the maximum amount of time possible; the number of arrests by the FBI will probably spike sharply just before the attack. Which, I dare say, terrorists would be looking for.
