Most Americans never knew George E. Elliot, Jr., but many know about him.George was the radar operator on December 7, 1941 who sounded the alarm one hour before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.However, nobody believed him.People were complacent.They were content.Mostly, they were incredulous that such audacity could actually happen to Americans—on American soil.
George saw a blip on his radar screen and reported it.When he told his superiors how big it was, smug in their complacency, they told him that his radar must be broken.An hour later, all hell broke loose in Pearl Harbor.The enemy had killed thousands because Americans were asleep at the switch.
Sixty years later in July 2001, Kenneth J. Williams, an FBI agent and analyst in Phoenix, sent a report to the FBI headquarters that became known as the notorious “Phoenix Memo.”In it, Williams stated that Middle Eastern men were attending flight schools but were showing little interest in learning how to land the aircraft.In Minnesota, another agent, Coleen Rowley, questioned the FBI’s laxity in investigating the so-called twentieth hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui.He had been detained by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in August 2001 for suspicious activity in a Minnesota flight school but was allowed to go free.
Prior to September 2001, Richard Clarke, the government’s top counterterrorism agent, told officials that, “Something really spectacular is going to happen here and it’s going to happen soon.”Numerous other warnings from France, England, Egypt, and Israel were received by our government in the weeks and months before September 11, 2001, but all were lost in the bowels of American bureaucracy.As a result, we failed to stop the attack on the United States we now refer to as the tragedy of 9/11.
There is a big blip on the radar screen for America today.We have seen terrorists strike time after time in Palestine, Israel, the Philippines, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and throughout the Middle East.We have had our own experience of 9/11, yet many are incredulous to think that it could happen again.
This story is about how it might.It is just that—a story.However, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.If one person reading this book is spurred to action that strengthens our defense, the effort to tell this story will have been worthwhile.If thousands or perhaps millions of Americans act, it might just squelch Jihad in America and preserve our nation and our way of life.
