“A few of the quotes that came from Senators, and I am only going to quote four Members of Congress, one House Member and three Senators. Although I could quote about 10 of them, I think my point is made by these four. One Senator said: I am gravely concerned about the information provided us just yesterday that the President received a warning in August about the threat of hijackers by Osama bin Laden and his organization. It clearly raises some very important questions that have to be asked and have to be answered. Another Senator said: We have learned something today that raises a number of serious questions. We have learned that President Bush had been informed last year before September 11 of a possible plot by those associated with Osama bin Laden to hijack a U.S. airline. Another Senator: I don't know, again, what he knew and what the White House knew and when they knew it and what they did about it . . . . . . but if prior information had been warnings were there . . . Another Member on the floor said: Yet we have had the gnawing question: was there something that could have been done to prevent the attacks on September 11? I am very proud of the Senator occupying the chair now because he refrained from trying to engage in this type of political activity. What do all four Members who made these statements on the floor of the House and Senate have in common? They are all four running for President of the United States.”
