[edit] Second quote

The following is from your "article":

Whether these clues would have sparked a national emergency or simply been treated like the August 6 memo entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike US" is subject to debate.

Whoever wrote this is a big Bush hater, no other way to describe it. You know you are.

I'm trying to determine the origin of the quote that Samit said he was "so desperate to get into Moussaoui's computer I'll take anything." Reference 2 refers to a Houston Chronicle article, but that quote is not in the Chronicle article. I searched the net for the text of the quote, and I see it appearing in blogs, and I see it in a couple Yahoo News articles, but when you read the text of the actual news article, that quote does not appear in the article. My google skills are probably failing me, can any one else find the source of this quote? Thanks. Rob 07:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Found a source for Samit's September 10th quote, removed disputed tag. Added more biographical info, details of arrest, and Samit's attempts to secure search warrants. Also changed the wording a bit, Samit was not trying to warn of September 11^th specifically, he was trying to warn of an act of terrorism involving aircraft. Rob 03:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
