From 9/11 Encyclopedia:
On February 2nd, 2002 Julie Sirrs, former DIA agent doubted,
that September 11th was the result of a small "failure" :
"I would
disagree
with that not only because just the fact that it happened indicates
that it was a failure, unless it was something that we wanted,
which I
certainly don't believe." She confirmed, that the official statement of
the CIA was, that they "had bin Laden under control;
`In a box' , was
one of the phrases used".
Sirrs is able to understand Pashtun, a little
bit of persian. After she came back from a 2001 trip from Afghanistan,
she tried to explain the CIA,
"how closely linked bin Laden was with
the Taliban", but "US policy seemed to prefer to treat them as two
separate issues".
Sirrs criticised the Pakistan Secret Service Isi.
In 2001, Julie Sirrs
travelled twice to Afghanistan. She claimed, DIA officials knew in
advance about both trips.
Sirrs saw a terrorist training center there,
and met with Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Massoud (->), who
was later assassinated on September 9th, 2001.
On her second trip she
returned with what she later claimed, "a treasure trove of
information", including evidence
that bin Laden is planning to
assassinate Massoud. However, upon returning, a security officer met
her flight and confiscated her material.
Ultimately, Sirrs' security clearance was
pulled and she resigned. She eventually quit the DIA in
frustration.
