Tips not shared with the San Diego FBI were key.

Sounding like a motivational speaker, blending wit and wisdom, Blair told Congress he had come with an “urgent sense of mission,” and he summed up what America, Britain and the free world face: “September the 11th was not an isolated event, but a tragic prologue, Iraq another act, and many further struggles will be set upon this stage before it’s over.”
