Ms. Edmonds has previously said that she saw intelligence reports prior to September 11 indicating that al Qaida planned to fly hijacked aircraft into U.S. skyscrapers. The Justice Department has repeatedly intervened to prevent her from elaborating on her statements in court.
"Edmonds's story has been almost uniformly ignored in the U.S. daily press," wrote Jefferson Morley in the Washington Post, at the same time that it has been widely reported in foreign news media.
