Dan Rather reports from Iraq on "1000 Years For Revenge"
In 2003, on the eve of publication of my first investigative book for HarperCollins, 1000 Years For Revenge, Dan Rather reported from Iraq in back-to-back pieces on The CBS Evening News, how both attacks on The World Trade Center: the 1993 bombing and the planes-as-missiles attack on 9/11 were directly connected and bankrolled by Osama bin Laden. More importantly, how the FBI and DOJ had gathered enough intel to stop the bombing in February, 1993 and first learned of what became known as the planes operation as early as 1995. The architect of both plots was Ramzi Yousef, whose uncle, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was later identified by the FBI as the mastermind of 9/11.
