9-11 reactions: San Diegans on street, counter-terror contractors, Black Muslims
Mom at kids at home, hijackers with San Diego connections, former SEALs
Dillon Taylor: "The feeling was ‘We need to find these people and take care of this.’ "
In Case They Attack
“I’ve been melancholy. It made me very sad. Deep-down sad. I realized immediately that our lives would never be the same again.
“We’ve never had war on our shores. And I’ve always felt that’s a lot of what we’re resented for. War has always been on someone else’s shores, and we’ve been safe.
“But it’s deeper than that. The sadness, to me, is that a lot of joy was taken away from us."

SAIC security personnel. What had SAIC's counter-terrorism unit actually been doing in the days leading up to the September 11 attack?
How to Make Big Money in Bio-Warfare
After the attack on the World Trade Center, Downing was quoted by the Philadelphia Inquirer as saying, about plans to take out Osama bin Laden, "We've been prepared to do this kind of thing for years. But they have always been rejected as too aggressive. A lot of solutions have been proposed, too, but they were all rejected, dismissed as too extreme or too dangerous. So what we end up with is something ten times as bad as Pearl Harbor."

Adib Mahdi and Abdur-Rahim Hameed. Mahdi is concerned about the expression of widespread fear of Muslims that has followed the terrorist attacks.
Atrocious Act
“This was an atrocious act! It is written in the Koran that Islam is a religion of peace and that a Muslim is one who submits his will to the will of the Creator, to Allah. And Allah does not command us to murder women and children, to kill innocent people. No! Submission to the will of Allah means to follow what is natural in life. Everything in nature follows the will of Allah.”

“Honey, there's been a terrible tragedy.”
Where We Were
“Tell them there’s been a terrible tragedy and lots of people have died and that we need to pray for the victims and for their families and for the horrible people who would do this."
I gathered the kids around me. Kneeling in the upstairs hall, I told them that some bad people had crashed planes into some big buildings in New York and Washington. I told them lots of people had died.

Nawaf Alhamzi, Khalid al-Midhar, and Hani Hanjour tried to get more from exotic dancers. "We may not be nuns, but Kerry and I aren't alley-cat sluts."

Cathal Flynn in Vietnam (holding goat). Flynn turned to Elson’s e-mail accusing him of giving SEALs a bad name: “I’ve seen a copy of that memo and of course dispute it."
No One Knew I Had a Knife in My Pocket
Flynn said that before the events of 11 September security was geared toward what experience had taught: hijackers normally wanted something in return for freeing the passengers. Perhaps it was money, freedom for imprisoned comrades, publicity for a cause, or a combination of such goals. The hijackers would have to land at some point to close the deal. The pilot’s job was to placate the hijackers and get on the ground as soon as safely possible.
