After reviewing the activities of George W. Bush on 9-11, William Safire concluded that the perpetrators of the 9-11 attacks may have been assisted by a mole in the White House or in U.S. intelligence agencies.
Quote:
A threatening message received by the Secret Service was relayed to the agents with the president that "Air Force One is next." According to the high official, American code words were used showing a knowledge of procedures that made the threat credible.
After quoting material also found in Apple’s article, Safire finally draws a conclusion:
The most worrisome aspect of these revelations has to do with the credibility of the "Air Force One is next" message. It is described clearly as a threat, not a friendly warning—but if so, why would the terrorists send the message? More to the point, how did they get the code-word information and transponder know-how that established their mala fides?
That knowledge of code words, presidential whereabouts and possession of secret procedures indicates that the terrorists may have a mole in the White House—that, or informants in the Secret Service, F.B.I., F.A.A. or C.I.A. If so, the first thing our war on terror needs is an Angleton-type counterspy.
Safire’s conclusions mirror those of fellow columnist Robert Novak, who began his column of the same day (New York Post, 9/13 p. 59) by saying that “Security experts and airline officials agree privately that the simultaneous hijacking of four airliners was an ‘inside job,’ probably indicating complicity beyond malfeasance.”
Does anyone know what an Angleton-type counterspy is?
Re Webster Tarpley on YouTube: a Very interesting scenario. The one that Webster Tarpley paints is that the Bush Administration did a better job than anyone on this forum would credit them!
According to this website written a year later, it was Cheney who told Bush who told an aide that "Angel was Next". It was a "credible" threat which meant it was other code-worded or came from a known source. It was just risk management it surely would have been noted as a "possible" threat - but at that time, most of the USA has a possible threat.
They also feared that Air Force One itself was a target. Cheney told the president there was a credible threat against the plane. Using the code name for Air Force One, Mr. Bush told an aide, “Angel is next.” The threat was passed to presidential pilot Col. Mark Tillman.
According to 911myths, "Angel" as a code word has been known for a long time. The question now remains how the message (with the not-so-secret code word) was sent to Cheney and why Cheney believed it to be a credible threat (unless it was supported with further information).
Interestingly Condi Rice was questioned about "Angel is Next" and she states they were looking into it. 7 years later... swept under the carpet, I think.
The question now remains how the message (with the not-so-secret code word) was sent to Cheney and why Cheney believed it to be a credible threat (unless it was supported with further information).
Hmm, psychopaths believe whatever they can get you to believe - and Cheney is no angel.

In the hundreds of thousands leaked pager messages evidence emerged that the Secret Service did forward "Angel is next"!

A Secret Service page at 10:32 a.m. warned:
"ANONYMOUS CALL TO JOC REPORTING ANGEL IS TARGET."
Angel is the Secret Service codeword for Air Force One; JOC means Joint Operations Center.
When the president's plane had departed Florida about half an hour earlier, it was en route to D.C.
That anonymous threat seems to be what diverted President Bush on a high-speed flight across the country, first to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, and then to an underground command center in Nebraska.

The 911Blogger report supports the statement that other codes (other than Angel) were used to support the threat to Air Force One. Further evidence (IMHO) that the "Angel is Next" proves 9/11 was an Inside Job. Bush, maybe even Cheney, still may have "plausible denial-ability" (I still think they are to their necks in the whole thing*) but the "Inside Job" moniker definitely sticks.

*The fact that Bush lands at Offut Air Force Base where Buffet is throwing a do for some of the WTC CEOs is a bit of a give away, and the family connections:
- George WALKER Bush is at school plugging Neil's No-Child-Left-Behind s/w
- Jeb is busy extracting flight school records (having changed the law just the previous day) to let him do that
- Marvin and cousin Wirt WALKER III are relinquishing his job at Stratesec - the security company handling WTC, Dulles Airport (and some Saudi Arabian Flight schools, no doubt)
- While Dad, GWH Bush was saying goodbye to the Bin Laden family (http://www.wanttoknow.info/030316post)
