 | | Administration lawyers asked a judge to prevent a former FBI translator from testifying in a lawsuit brought by families of September 11 victims; the translator told the 9/11 commission that the government had considerable evidence months before the attacks that Al Qaeda was planning to use aircraft as weapons in the United States. |  | | The White House, under pressure from the commission, declassified the August 6 briefing, which in fact warned that Al Qaeda might be planning to hijack airplanes in the United States. |  | | Officials were surprised that the terrorists were able to operate for years without being detected in a police state where civil liberties are largely nonexistent. |

 | | More to the point, as we wrote in a 1995 assessment when I was in the government, terrorists can do plenty of damage with "conventional" weapons, like 9-11's airplanes. |  | | We will also need to increase the price states pay for using terrorism as an instrument of statecraft. |  | | Like the anti-globalization movement, al Qaeda is made up of a politically, nationally, and ethnically diverse group of militants, who don't agree on everything but subscribe in general terms to an ideology. |
