Interesting speculation from Justin Raimondo:

<<< There is no question that the terrorists,
in pulling off the 9/11 attacks, had access to some of this
nation's most important secrets. New York Times columnist
Bill Safire reported that, as the WTC went down in flames,
the terrorists made it clear they had penetrated the inner
defenses of White House security:

"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."

Safire swears this was told to him by Karl Rove, who said
the President was going to go back to Washington until the
Secret Service "informed him that the threat contained
language that was evidence that the terrorists had knowledge
of his procedures and whereabouts." As Safire put it:

"That knowledge of code words and 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." >>>

Thinking about the validity of this story, I look at the source - Safire. What agenda would he have to fabricate this story? I can't think of one, except perhaps to stir up hysteria?
