That’s exactly right. He was joking in order to make the pre-warning people received into a joke. It is real, however.

Do you mean former, disgraced senator?

It's possible that Franken received a call, but not likely. Franken's book is satire, so this isn't the best example to use. I suppose he could have been called, and couched his confession in a satire book, but that he made it a joke removes the seriousness of such a confession. That Franken wasn't scheduled to travel that day means he probably didn't get a call. It's possible Mossad requested he add this joke to the book to make the legit pre-warnings look kooky.

On the other hand, people who were definitely warned not to travel, were likely warned because they had been scheduled to fly that day, like San Francisco mayor Willie Brown , who was called by Condeleeza Rice . You see, the conspirators certainly had access to flight manifests and ticket purchases that day, and warned only the people who were scheduled to fly that day.

Why the fuck would Al Franken have had an office at the world trade center? In 2001 he was just a shitty washed up comedian.

Al Franken may have been a comedian who went to Washington, but this is not funny .. being forewarned about 9-11 is a [capital] criminal matter. MeetUp.com .
