JW Proven Right on Terrorism Findings of JW¹s Groundbreaking Book Fatal Neglect Affirmed by News Reports
The best one can say of the news media is better late then never. Three months after Judicial Watch documented the continuing failure of the U.S. government to protect American citizens from terrorism in its book, Fatal Neglect, articles are popping up in newspapers across the country making the same point.
For example, a recent Washington Post front-page story entitled, "In U.S., Terrorism's Peril Undiminished," suggests that even after a year-long war on terrorism, we are just as vulnerable as we were on September 11. Many of the reports used by writer Barton Gellman to bolster his claim were published first in Fatal Neglect.
A January 6, 2003 article in the Washington Times puts forth evidence that bin Laden bought software on the Russian black market that was originally created by a U.S. company. The software, which was stolen by the Justice Department and ultimately sold to the Russians by spy Robert Hanson, enabled bin Laden to monitor the activities of U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Again, this was a story reported in Fatal Neglect in September 2002.
Judicial Watch also forecasted the "whitewashed" investigation conducted by the Congressional Joint Intelligence Panel and the failure of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, to this day, to keep foreign criminals and potential terrorists out of the country.
"Those who read Fatal Neglect will be astounded by the accuracy of our forecasts and predictions concerning the lack of preparedness on the part of the U.S. government to respond to terrorism ," said JW Chairman Larry Klayman. "This is one situation where we hate to be right. I would rather the U.S. government simply do its job."
