Michael Silence links up to a blogger who argues that the Israelis did not have foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks:

Yesterday morning, I was on the phone with several friends in Israel. As usual, I was awake during the night and had the news on when a terrorist bulldozed its way down Jaffa Street, killing several people and injuring dozens more.

Years ago, I worked on a community development project that wanted to put up clear signage (I did not even know it was a word let alone a community activist project) to help pedestrians locate important services like toilets or baby changing stations. I guess the theory was that you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows because there are plenty of good signage.
