A lot of folks had to revise their theories about terrorism after 9/11. I'm sure this fellow was one of them.

Hmm... Apparently, Larry C. Johnson worked for the branch of The State Department For Counterterrorism that doesn't actually deal with terror.

Here's a very interesting interview with Johnson the day after the 9/11 attacks on the WTC. There's also a link at the bottom that points to a prior interview.

I really dont know if I like this guy. I need to re-read his interviews again with more caffeene before I decide.
