SANDER HICKS: Glass said, "The only information that the terrorists -- the guys ever talked about -- was just the World Trade Center. They didn't ever say anything to me or to Dick, to my knowledge, that airplanes were going to be used. The State Department guy told me that. In other words, I called up and I bluffed him. I called up and I don't know what they knew that I knew. I just knew that America was going to be attacked. I didn't know if it was going to be the World Trade Center or what it was going to be. These people had talked about purchasing these weapons to use against us."

Later Glass stated that the State Department contact said, "Musharaf just took over and our position is that they're a nuclear power and they've been flexing their nuclear muscles with India and we are trying to prevent a nuclear catastrophe. And we know about the threat, the terrorist threat, from Al Qaeda and Bin Laden flying airplanes into the World Trade Center. And Musharaf has guaranteed us -- because it's his ISI behind it -- that he can stop it if we support him publicly. Look, Randy, we know you're a straight guy so we're going to give you some information. You cannot do two things: You cannot go to the media under any circumstance. This is -- we're playing in a nuclear minefield now. Secondly, you can't tell the agents that you're working with now because they're cut out of the loop. They know nothing."

...

RANDY GLASS: When I called the State Department, I said to them, "Listen, I already know about the World Trade Center." So they assumed that I knew more than I did. And I didn't. I didn't know anything about airplanes. But ... I just said what I knew. I said, "Look. Listen, I know the World Trade Center is going to be attacked." And then this guy said to me, "Randy, listen, you cannot mention any of these things, especially airplanes being used to fly into the World Trade Center." And when he said that I almost fell off of my fucking chair. I mean, you have no idea.
