Is Code Red coming? (Insider Report).

"Don't be surprised if in the coming hours or days we go to Code Red," predicted former Senator Gary Hart, co-chair of the Commission on National Security for the 21st century, during a March 19th panel discussion organized by George Washington University. For residents of some states, raising the terrorism alert level from Orange (the present level as of this writing) to Red would mean, in essence, "protective" house arrest until local homeland security officials give the all-clear.

Like the commission co-chaired by Hart, the GWU panel drew heavily from the Council on Foreign Relations. CFR participants included Hart, former national security adviser Samuel Berger, and former CIA director James Woolsey.

The most significant statement made at that conference, according to a summary provided by the GCN news service (a tech-centered service of the Washington Post), was Hart's observation that the 9-11 attacks "were not Pearl Harbor ... America was warned." Leaving aside the fact that FDR had detailed advance knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack, Hart's passing comment--coming, as it did, from someone deeply involved in the Establishment's policy-making apparatus--dramatically confirms that the Black Tuesday attack could have been prevented.
