I have never seen that before. If I am reading that correctly: it is interesting that Israel was doing the work on US soil, giving the FBI/CIA a heads up about a potential large scale terrorist attack against the US and then the FBI/CIA seemingly do little to stop what eventually becomes 9/11 later that year. The FBI/CIA then obfuscate where their intel came from.

Interesting. I wonder what part of their work required them to shut off parts of the WTC and remove a window.

#7This is the first time I hear about this. Was there any coverage of this in mainstream media at that time?

Well, yes. This very article. Which I remember reading in 2002. I think it was covered elsewhere too.

There was coverage but there were too many scattered points to draw an arc and from memory… most journos quickly gave up and moved on to the next thing.

I've seen lots of negative comments (and negative moderation) on HN toward content sourced from Fox News and The Washington Times (and other "conservative" outlets). This article seems to claim that those two employed the only journalists actually pursuing this story, and that other outlets (such as The Washington Post) were actively trying to discredit or sabotage their work.
I'm in the small minority that only gets news by reading, and the stuff I read comes from many different politically biased views. Do this for a while and you'll see that the bias is always present (one way or the other), but the news stories themselves still usually have (at least some) merit.
