Massport security director to be fired By Frank Phillips, Globe Staff, 10/01/01 purred by repeated security breaches at Logan Airport, Acting Governor Jane Swift plans to remove Massachusetts Port Authority security director Joseph Lawless from his post, administrative source said today. Joseph Lawless (AP Photo) From the Globe Archives: Lawless defends qualifications Weld defends Lawless Lawless sought free rein Political ties strong at Logan Weld backers hired at Logan The source said Swift is actively pursuing well-known law enforcement leaders, including former New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton, to take over the job tempporarily. As for Lawless, who has been under fire since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the source said: ``He's being moved out.'' Lawless, who was Governor William F. Weld's former security director and driver, has insisted that he is not to blame for the hijackings of two planes that departed Logan and were crashed into the World Trade Center. But, in recent days, despite stepped-up presence of state police at Logan, several security breaches have occured. This weekend, a Natick salesman said he walked from his car to a US Airways gate at Terminal B without encountering a security check of any kind. Lawless also set off a dispute the day after the attacks when he refused to allow the participation of the U.S. Marshals in a planning meeting on airport security. Lawless's rebuff was followed by an apology from Massport executive director Virginia Buckingham.

meet Ayman al-Zawahiri I think that it is very important to realize that this is not just a bin Laden problem. I sometimes think that one of the worst things that could happen would be if the Taliban handed a living bin Laden over to the US. This would make it more difficult to go after the many senior leaders who need to be killed. I very much doubt that bin Laden is the mastermind who is planning these attacks. I think we need to be looking for somebody with military or intelligence service training, who is very smart, and has considerable practical experience in terrorism or guerilla warfare. None of the people who have been publicly profiled so far really fit this description. I think that bin Laden is their George Bush. We need to make sure we get the whole administration. Finding these people in Afg. is going to be very tough. In Somalia we were chasing a guy called General Aideed. We never caught him, and a bunch of US soldiers died trying.
