"Of course the U.S. had prior warning. Flying a plane into a building requires a permit that has to be applied for months in advance."

Old Man

Thomas Carter,
Systems Analyst
"In a post-Sept. 11 world, this pre-Sept. 11 information is chilling."

Black Man

Bob Gullickson,
FBI Agent
"As a regional FBI director, I want to assure the American people that tracking down potential terrorists is really, really hard."

Old Woman

Melanie Parrish,
Psychologist
"If Bush had gotten all panicked about the warning, the terrorists would have already won."

Young Woman

Jill Cromartie,
Caterer
"I told everyone that something bad would happen to America in 2001. I even said the letter 'A' would be involved. But did they listen?"

Young Man

Kenneth LeFlore,
Electrician
"Whoa. Back up. Now, what happened on Sept. 11?"
