I SEND THE AG A LETTER

Dear Sir(s),

Recently AG Mukasey mentioned that we had knowledge
of a phone call from an Al Qaeda safe house to the U.S.
before 9-11. He implied that if we had been able to tap
this call, we would've been able to prevent the terror
attacks on 9-11.

Would you please tell me HOW we knew there was such
a call and why we didn't get a tap?

Thank you,

You can too: AskDOJ@usdoj.gov

Others have had the same idea (h/t Atrios):

(Washington, DC)- Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Subcommittee Chairmen Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Robert “Bobby” C. Scott (D-VA) sent a letter to United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey demanding answers about a recent public statement claiming there was a pre-9/11 call from a terrorist safe house in Afghanistan that was apparently not intercepted by federal authorities.

UPDATE: Other reactions here.
