The first line has two errors. First, 9/11 was on a Tuesday. Saying it was a Sunday is just foolish, as it happened at the start of a busy workday. Many of us still remember it like it was yesterday. Also, the line says 2011.

Further question - how do we know these intercepts are authentic?

> From 3AM on Sunday September 11, 2011

The first line does not have two errors, it makes perfect sense. Here it is below for others to actually see that everything is fine there.

> From 3AM on Sunday September 11, 2011, until 3AM the following day (US east coast time), WikiLeaks is re-releasing over half a million US national text pager intercepts. The intercepts cover a 24 hour period surrounding the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.

It doesn’t say that the original 9/11 incident was on Sunday or in 2011. It says that Wikileaks will be re-releasing their US national text pager intercepts on sunday 9/11 in 2011.

I see. It's a different reading of the first word "from". Thanks for pointing that out.
