I never really anticipated this kind of impact when I wrote this letter to Director Mueller two weeks ago.

HQ (headquarters) personnel never disclosed to the Minneapolis agents that the Phoenix Division had, only approximately three weeks earlier, warned of al Qaeda operatives in flight schools seeking flight training for terrorist purposes,

I wrote once every two or three weeks for about a year, ... and then about a year ago, I got an e-mail.

When he wrote a letter, he would put that which was most material in the postscript, as if it had been a by-matter

Trying to tie this in with terrorism is a little overblown because you can't communicate that kind of information over a non-secured system that goes outside the FBI anyway.

Well, I will quickly correct the record that they are not anti-war extremists. The majority of people I saw in Crawford were actually veterans' groups.
