The source learned what bin laden was looking to finance attacks inside the United States and that the information helped foil a plot against a target in los angeles. Lets bring in our National Security analyst, the al qaeda expert, peter bergen, who actually met with bin laden back in 1997. Pretty explosive indications here. The fbi was sitting on a source close to bin laden but apparently never shared that information with all the committees investigating what happened. Yeah. Its extraordinary, wolf.

Now, we all have egos that engage in some kind of public life, but the cause must be bigger than the ee owe ago and focus must not get off the purpose of your gathering, and they did that perfectly yesterday in a most impressive way i have seen in a long time, aside from they probably had the largest march and rally in our lifetimes. But joining me now are three high school students, Dominique Johnson from harlem here in new york. Jackson monroe from washington, the district of columbia. And juan reyes from chicago, illinois.
