 t r u t h o u t - ISSUES - FBI Agent's Report in July "Was Very Specific."
Agent Kenneth Williams suspected that a group of about eight Middle Eastern men in the Phoenix area were not merely studying at flight schools but also had shown a keen interest in airplane engineering and airport construction and security, according to sources familiar with the closed-door briefings Williams gave members of Congress this week.
The still-secret memo that Williams prepared in July, warning that the FBI should canvass flight schools around the country for possible terrorist ties, has become Exhibit A in the eyes of some members of Congress who accuse the Bush administration and the intelligence community of missing possible warning signs before Sept. 11.
Williams also told lawmakers that his interest in the flight school issue was piqued last year because Bin Laden had known ties to Arizona, the official said.

His relationship with his parents - he hated his father and adored his mother - was key to the development of his personality.
In the latter, his roles included the eccentric folk singer, Rambling Syd Rumpo, and Sandy of the extremely camp couple, Julian and Sandy (Julian was played by Hugh Paddick), notable for their arch double entendres and use of the underground gay slang, Polari.
His diaries contain many references to unconsummated or barely-consummated relationships, described in code as traditional matters or tradiola, probably because homosexuality was still a criminal offense in the United Kingdom for much of the period the diaries cover.
