"How could they let this happen? They knew this building was a target. Over the past few weeks we'd been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual. I think they had an inkling something was going on."

"We were the first ones in the second tower after the plane struck. I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there was bombs set in the building. I had just asked another firefighter to stay with me, which was a good thing because we were trapped inside the elevator and he had the tools to get out."

"On February 23, 1993, six people were killed an a thousand were injured when bombs were detonated in the parking garage beneath the Center, leading to life-sentences for six Islamic extremists. But the building held. Much earlier, on July 28, 1945, a B-25 bomber got lost in the fog and slammed into the 79th floor of the Empire State Building. Fourteen lives were lost and there was massive damage, but that building held, too. When the World Trade Center was in design, the Empire State incident was recalled, and the Twin Towers were built to withstand the blow from a big jetliner--the biggest jetliner being flown at the time [a Boeing 747]."

"Terrorism works. It is a tool of the strong. The United States studied Nazi methods and picked up those methods, and these became US manuals for 'counterterrorism'. The US then recruited Nazi war criminals. 'Counterterrorism' and 'Low-intensity conflict' are the US definitions for its own acts of terrorism.... If I think that someone who robbed my house lives in a neighborhood across the street, I don't take an assault rifle and kill every innocent person in that neighborhood.... We organize and train terrorist armies.... 'Enduring' means 'suffer', and many nations have 'endured' US intervention." --Dr Noam Chomsky, MIT, author of Manufacturing Consent, on Free Speech TV - Pacifica Radio in Exile, November 2001 http://www.freespeech.org/fsitv/ramfiles/dnnoamchomsky.ram

Transition of Power: President-Elect Bush Meets With Congressional Leaders on Capitol Hill

Aired December 18, 2000 - 12:00 p.m. ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: In the nation's capital, it's all about George W. Bush -- he's here and doing business -- while in state capitals, it's the day the Electoral College meets and votes. And if all goes as planned, the electors will certify Bush's narrow victory in last month's election.

He's already looking forward as he makes the rounds here in the nation's capital. A key item on his agenda today: meeting congressional leaders.

CNN's Chris Black joins us from Capitol Hill with more now -- Chris.

CHRIS BLACK, CNN CONGRESSIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Frank, President- elect George W. Bush came to Capitol Hill today for the first time since the election intending to listen to congressional leaders, the bipartisan congressional leadership. But he also made it clear to them, in more than two and a half hours of meetings, that he intends to stand by his tax cut proposal and other planks in his campaign agenda.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENT-ELECT: I told all four that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BLACK: President-elect Bush met with the House and Senate Republican leadership teams today. And sources in those meetings say that they discussed tax cuts and energy policy. There was a great deal of concern, according to congressional sources, about how the Bush administration will keep the economy moving ahead.

In his meetings with Dick Gephardt, the House Democratic leader, and Tom Daschle, the Senate Democratic leader, they told him that they would try to move expeditiously on the Senate side on his nominations, but also said that their view of bipartisanship is that Bush adopt some items from the Democratic agenda; particularly items that did well in the 106th Congress but didn't quite become law: the minimum wage increase, HMO reform and campaign finance reform. The meetings were described as cordial, but Mr. Bush made it very clear both publicly and privately that he believes that he was elected president because of the things he campaigned on. That's an analysis the Democrats disagree with. They say this election was a tie -- Frank.

SESNO: Chris, a very interesting comment from the House Democratic leader, Richard Gephardt, when he was up there saying, look, we'll meet you 50 percent of the way, maybe even a little bit more than 50 percent of the way. We'll meet you in the middle. Now, this notion of governing from the middle, how does that square with the tax plans and all these other things that Bush has on his mind?

BLACK: Well, there's unquestionably -- there is a place in the middle. For example, even on items as controversial as repeal of the marriage penalty and repeal of the estate tax, Democrats had their own versions of those tax cuts which did not go quite as far. They say they're willing to consider any tax cuts proposed by Gov. Bush, but he is not -- they are not going to go all the way. There's a great deal of concern about the total price tag, something which Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Fed, also is concerned about.

SESNO: All right, Chris Black on Capitol Hill, thanks.

WAR

"Let me now warn you in the most solemn manner. Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest."
--President George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

"Naturally, the common people don't want war. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism."
--Hermann Goering, Reichstag Nazi Party President and Luftwaffe Commander in Chief

The following excerpts are taken from the original 15-page US Government TOP SECRET document, "Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba [including cover memoranda], March 13, 1962," available at the National Security Archive website in pdf format at the following link: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/doc1.pdf (if you don't have it, download Adobe Acrobat Reader to view pdf formatted files).

The introductory text entry point for this document is at Pentagon Proposed Pretexts for Cuba Invasion in 1962 (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/) and is reproduced here:

In his new exposé of the National Security Agency entitled Body of Secrets, author James Bamford highlights a set of proposals on Cuba by the Joint Chiefs of Staff codenamed OPERATION NORTHWOODS. This document, titled "Justification for U.S. Military Intervention in Cuba" was provided by the JCS to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962, as the key component of Northwoods. Written in response to a request from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba. These proposals -- part of a secret anti-Castro program known as Operation Mongoose -- included staging the assassinations of Cubans living in the United States, developing a fake "Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington," including "sink[ing] a boatload of Cuban refugees (real or simulated)," faking a Cuban airforce attack on a civilian jetliner, and concocting a "Remember the Maine" incident by blowing up a U.S. ship in Cuban waters and then blaming the incident on Cuban sabotage. Bamford himself writes that Operation Northwoods "may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government."

THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF

WASHINGTON 25, D.C.

13 March 1962

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

      Subject: Justification for U.S. Military Intervention
               in Cuba (TS)


   1. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have considered the attached
Memorandum for the Chief of Operations, Cuba Project, which
responds to a request of that office for brief but precise
description of pretexts which would provide justification
for US military intervention in Cuba.

   2. Thje Joint Chiefs of Staff recommend that the 
proposed memorandum be forwarded as a preliminary submission
suitable for planning purposes.  It is assumed that there
will be similar submissions from other agencies and that
these inputs will be used as a basis for developing a 
time-phased plan.  Individual projects can then be 
considered on a case-by-case basis.

   3. Further, it is assumed that a single agency will be
given the primary responsibility for developing military
and para-military aspects of the basic plan.  It is
recommended that this responsibility for both overt and
covert military operations be assigned the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.

                            For the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

APPENDIX TO ENCLOSURE A

DRAFT

      MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

      Subject: Justification for U.S. Military Intervention
               in Cuba (TS)

   1. Reference is made to memorandum from Chief of Operations,
Cuba project, for General Craig, subject: "Operation MONGOOSE",
dated 5 March 1962, which requested brief but precise
description of pretexts which the Joint Chiefs of Staff
consider would provide justifications for US military inter-
vention in Cuba.

   2. The projects listed in the enclosure hereto are forwarded
as a prelimiary submission suitable for planning purposes.
It is assumed that there will be similar submissions from
other agencies and that these inputs will be used as a basis
for developing a time-phased plan.  The individual projects
can then be considered on a case-by-case basis.

   3. This plan, incorporating projects selected from the
attached suggestions, or from other sources, should be
developed to focus all efforts on a specific ultimate
objective which would provide adequate justification for
US military intervention.  Such a plan would enable a logical
build-up of incidents to be combined with other seemingly
unrelated events to camoflage the ultimate objective and
create the necessary impression of Cuban rashness and
irresponsibility on a large scale, directed at other
countries as well as the United States.  The plan would also
properly integrate and time phase the courses of action to
be pursued.  The desired resultant from the execution of
this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent
position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and
irresponsible government of Cuba and to develop an inter-
national image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western
Hemisphere.

Appendix to
Enclosure A

Page 9

   4. Time is an important factor in resolution of the Cuban
problem.  Therefore, the plan should be so time-phased that
projects would be operable within the next few months.

   5. Inasmuch as the ultimate objective is overt military
intervention, it is recommended that primary responsibility
for developing military and para-military aspects of the plan
for both overt and covert military operations be assigned the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.

ANNEX TO APPENDIX TO ENCLOSURE A

PRETEXTS TO JUSTIFY US MILITARY INTERVENTION IN CUBA

   (Note: The courses of action which follow are a preliminary
submission suitable only for planning purposes.  They are
arranged neither chronologically nor in ascending order.
Together with similar inputs from other agencies, they are
intended to provide a point of departure for the development
of a single, integrated, time-phased plan.  Such a plan would
permit the evaluation of individual projects within the context
of cumulative, correlated actions designed to lead inexorably
to the objective of adequate justification for US military
intervention in Cuba).

   1. Since it would seem desirable to use legitimate
provocation as the basis for US military intervention in Cuba
a cover and deception plan. to include requisite preliminary
actions such as has been developed in response to Task 33 c,
could be executed as an initial effort to provode Cuban
reactions.  Harassment plus deceptive actions to convince the
Cubans of imminent invasion would be emphasized.  Our military
posture throughout execution of the plan will allow a rapid
change from exercise to intervention if Cuban responses justifies.

   2. A series of well coordinated incidents will be planned
to take place in and around Guantanamo to give genuine
appearance of being done by hostile Cuban forces. 

      a. Incidents to establish a credible attack (not in
   chronilogical order): 

         (1) Start rumors (many). Use clandestine radio. 

         (2) Land friendly Cubans in uniform "over-the-fence"
      to stage attack on the base. 

         (3) Capture Cuban (friendly) sabateurs inside the
      base. 

         (4) Start riots near the entrance to the base (friendly
      Cubans).

Appendix to
Enclosure A

Page 11

         (5) Blow up ammunition inside the base; start fires. 

         (6) Burn aircraft on airbase (sabatage). 

         (7) Lob morter shells from outside of base into base.
      Some damage to installations. 

         (8) Capture assault teams approaching from the sea
      of vicinity of Guantanamo City. 

         (9) Capture militia group which storms the base. 

        (10) Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires -- napthalene.

        (11) Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals
      for mock-victims (may be lieu of (10)). 

      b. United States would respond by executing offensive
   operations to secure water and power supplies, destroying
   artillery and mortar emplacements which threaten the base. 

      c. Commence large scale United States military operations.

   3. A "Remember the Maine" incident could be arranged in
several forms: 

      a. We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and
   blame Cuba. 

      b. We could blow up a drone (unmannded) vessel anywhere
   in the Cuban waters. We could arrange to cause such incident
   in the vicinity of Havana or Santiago as a spectacular result
   of Cuban attack from the air or sea, or both.  The presense
   of Cuban planes or ships merely investigating the intent of
   the vessel could be fairly compelling evidence that the ship
   was taken under attack.  The nearness to Havana or Santiago
   would add credibility especially to those people that might
   have heard the blast or have seen the fire.  The US could
   follow with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US
   fighters to "evacuate" remaining members of the non-existant
   crew. Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful
   wave of national indignation. 

   4. We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in
the Miami area, in other Flordia cities and even in Washington.

Appendix to
Enclosure A

Page 12

The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking
haven in the United States.  We could sink a boatload of Cubans
enroute to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts
on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even to the
extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized.
Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the
arrest of Cuban agents and the release of prepared documents
substantiating Cuban involvement also would be helpful in
projecting the idea of an irresponsible government. 

   5. A "Cuban-based, Castro-supported" filibuster could be
simulated against a neighboring Caribbean nation (in the vein
of the 14th of June invasion of the Dominican Republic). We
know that Castro is backing subversive efforts clandestinely
against Haiti, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Nicaragua at
present and possible others.  These efforts can be magnified and
additional ones contrived for exposure.  For example, advantage
can be taken of the sensitivity of the Dominican Air Force to
intrusions within their national air space.  "Cuban" B-26 or
C-46 type aircraft could make cane-burning raids at night.
Soviet Bloc incidiaries could be found.  This could be coupled
with "Cuban" messages to the Communist underground in the 
Dominican Republic and "Cuban" shipments of arms which would
be found, or intercepted, on the beach. 

   6. Use of MIG type aircraft by US pilots could provide
additional provocation.  Harassment of civil air, attacks on
surface shipping and destruction of US military drone aircraft
by MIG type planes would be useful as complementary actions.
An F-86 properly painted would convince air passengers that they
saw a Cuban MIG, especially if the pilot of the transport were
to announce such fact.  The primary drawback to this suggestion
appears to be the security risk inherent in obtaining or modify-
ing an aircraft.  However, reasonable copies of the MIG could
be purchased from US resources in about three months.

Appendix to
Enclosure A

Page 13

   7. Hijacking attempts against civil air and surface craft
should appear to continue as harassing measures condoned by the
government of Cuba.  Concurrently, genuine defections of Cuban
civil and military air and surface craft should be encouraged. 

   8. It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate
convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down
a chartered civil airliner enroute from the United States to
Jamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela.  The destination would
be chosen only to cause the flight plan   route to cross Cuba.
The passengers could be a group of college students off on a
holiday or any grouping of persons with a common interest to
support chartering a non-scheduled flight.

      a. An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and
   numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered
   aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the
   Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be
   subsituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be
   loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under
   carefully prepared aliases.  The actual registered
   aircraft would be converted to a drone. 

      b. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual
   aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of
   Florida.  From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying
   aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly
   into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB where arrangements will
   have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the
   aircraft to its original status.  The drone aircraft
   meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan.  When
   over Cuba the drone will being transmitting on the inter-
   national distress frequency a "MAY DAY" message stating he
   is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft.  The transmission
   will be interrupted by the destruction of aircraft which will
   be triggered by radio signal. This will allow IACO radio

Appendix to
Enclosure A

Page 14


   stations in the Western Hemisphere to tell the US what
   has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to
   "sell" the incident.

   9. It is possible to create an incident which will make it
appear that Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF aircraft
over international waters in an unprovoked attack.

      a. Approximately 4 of 5 F-101 aircraft will be dispatched
   in trail from Homestead AFB, Florida, to the vicinity of Cuba.
   Their mission will be to reverse course and simulate fakir
   aircraft for an air defense exercise in southern Florida.
   These aircraft would conduct variations of these flights at
   frequent intervals. Crews would be briefed to remain at 
   least 12 miles off the Cuban coast; however, they would be
   required to carry live ammunition in the event that hostile
   actions were taken by the Cuban MIGs.

      b. On one such flight, a pre-briefed pilot would fly
   tail-end Charley at considerable interval between aircraft.
   While near the Cuban Island this pilot would broadcast that
   he had been jumped by MIGs and was going down. No other 
   calls would be made.  The pilot would then fly directly
   west at extremely low altitude and land at a secure base, an
   Eglin auxiliary.  The aircraft would be met by the proper
   people, quickly stored and given a new tail number. The
   pilot who had performed the mission under an alias, would
   resume his proper identity and return to his normal place
   of business.  The pilot and aircraft would then have
   disappeared. 
   
      c. At precisely the same time that the aircraft was
   presumably shot down a submarine or small surface craft
   would disburse F-101 parts, parachute, etc., at approximately
   15 to 20 miles off the Cuban coast and depart.  The pilots
   retuning to Homestead would have a true story as far as
   they knew.  Search ships and aircraft could be dispatched
   and parts of aircraft found.

Enclosure A

ENCLOSURE B

FACTS BEARING ON THE PROBLEM

   1. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have previously stated*
that US unilateral military intervention in Cuba can be
undertaken in the event that the Cuban regime commits hostile
acts against US forces or property which would serve as an
incident upon which to base overt intervention.

   2. The need for positive action in the event that current
covert efforts to foster an internal Cuban rebellion are
unsuccessful was indicated** by the Joint Chiefs of Staff
on 7 March 1962, as follows:

      " - - - determination that a credible internal
   revolt is impossible of attainment during the next
   9-10 months will require a decision by the United States
   to develop a Cuban "provocation" as justification for
   positive US military action."

   3. It is understood that the Department of State also is
preparing suggested courses of action to develop justification
for US military intervention in Cuba.

In 1968, the recipient of the above memo, Robert McNamara, Secretary of War for Kennedy/Johnson, a former president of Ford Motor Company, testified to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" in 1964. This non-attack on the USS Maddox, which was operating in North Vietnamese territory during US terrorist, er, special forces, attacks on North Vietnam, provided the Pentagon a convenient excuse to reverse the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam ordered by murdered-president John Kennedy's and thus "officially" start the murderous Vietnam War:

"I must address the suggestion that, in some way the Government of the United States induced the incident on August 4 with the intent of providing an excuse to take retaliatory action which we in fact took...."

"I find it incomprehensible that anyone even remotely familiar with our society and system of Government could suspect the existance of a conspiracy which would have included almost, if not all, the entire chain of command in the Pacific, the chairman of the Joint chiefs, the Secretary of Defense and his chief assistants, the Secretary of State, and the President of the United States."
