“FBI stopped investigation of Muhammad Atta:

"A Lebanon-native who pretended to be an Islamic extremist at the behest of American authorities claims that the FBI took him off the trail of alleged 9/11 plotter Mohammed Atta right as a window of opportunity opened to catch him.

Were it not for the FBI’s action, the informant says he is “one million percent positive” the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks could have been prevented."

“And YOU did not need to be spied on because YOU were not guilty of anything pre-9/11. Right? And yet, it is now well-documented that AT&T was contracted to spy on ALL of us before that day.

“Consider that some of these guy were mere pre-teens when picked up in Afghanistan in 2001 and after 7 years would be more than ready to carry out terrorism, courtesy of The Bush Guantanamo Bay Indoctrination System.”

“How do we know no one did anything? Right here in the good, old, U.S. of A., supposedly Islamic fundies were followed for months by our own security agencies. Why didn't they stop 9/11 when they had at least 20 guys in their sights?”

“Robert Novak wrote an article that was published on September 13, 2001. You can still find it online if you try hard.

In it, he said that 9/11 was an inside job that had to have involved the airlines. Later, he was used by the Bush administration to add cloudiness to the Plame investigation and is now dead. He ain't talking now, is he?”

“Though she never named names or made precise accusations, Naomi Klein's book about disaster capitalism is exactly about that which you wrote.

Those with enough money to make huge disasters happen or to not stop them when they know they will take place that benefit them financially will do it completely without conscience or guilt. As long as they make enough money, they are happy. Case in point..."put options" placed on airline stocks prior to 9/11.”

“Please remind those "Rs" that THEY were the ones who claimed Clinton was using the possible threat of an attack by Al Qaeda as a distraction from his Monika troubles!

It was THEY who publicly declared that he was making much ado about nothing and spending too much money going after the Islamic fundamentalists after the first WTC bombing.”

“Oh, I DO - at every chance. Fortunately, they usually are silent after I point that out to them. Ocassionally, they spout the "Bush kept us safe" chant - but after I come back with Anthrax Attacks & remind them of the bombings in London & Madrid AFTER 9/11, they usually remain silent.

Selective Memory must be a requirement to be in the Republican Party. :P”

“It is also a fact that our own military joint chiefs of staff planned to fly planes into buildings or perhaps into the ground or even shoot them down while our own citizens were in them while Kennedy was president.

The idea was to blame Cuba for the terrorist attacks so we would go to war with them. Has that slipped your memory? Google Operation Northwoods.”

“Not enough has changed since before 9/11. When Clinton was president, the right wingers said his attempts to capture or kill Bin Laden were simply expensive distractions to keep the public from caring about the Lewinsky scandal.

Bush said "Duh. I don't know nuthin!" and proved it by going into a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11 because, as he said, he really wasn't interested in Bin Laden any more.

Obama says we are stepping it up. How? Does anyone think we are any closer to putting a stop to this?”

sherbug replied on Dec 27, 2009 at 09:51:55

“Putting a stop to what? Terrorism? There is no putting a stop to it. Even if bin Laden were killed, that would not stop terrorism. It is a dynamic movement that does not need a single region or a single leader to survive.

As such we need more covert operations and less overt ones.”
