Tom Ridge's challenge WASHINGTON -- The monumental challenge facing Tom Ridge in battling terrorism on the home front is emphasized by a slowly emerging scandal. The FBI had advance indications of plans to hijack U.S. airliners and use them as weapons, but neither acted on them nor distributed the intelligence to local police agencies. From the moment of the Sept. 11 attacks, high-ranking federal officials insisted that the terrorists' method of operation surprised them. Many stick to that story. Actually, elements of the hijacking plan were known to the FBI as early as 1995 and, if coupled with current information, might have uncovered the plot. Tim, I think you saw the post I made re. the guy who was arrested in Germany....he told German authorities to tell the CIA of a plot a few days before the hijacking. He was ignored. The Republican senator from ALA is going ballistic over this issue. ted
