It was Snell who took my "testimony" after I "testified" before the Commission on March 15th, 2004. When I showed up in the closed door conference room at 26 Federal Plaza (the same building that houses the FBI's NYO) Snell was accompanied by Marco Cordero, an FBI agent on loan to the Commission.
Was it Peter Lance? Why would Lance provide testimony on the 9/11 attacks?
Sorry, yes, I should have identified that quotation as coming from Peter Lance - it appears in the interview with Jamie Glazov of www.frontpagemag.com
I'm not certain why he was interviewed by Snell, but I suspect he initiated contact with the 9/11 Commission, telling them he had found some important info, etc. Snell would probably claim that's why he wasn't deposed under oath, etc. (if he wasn't giving 1st-hand testimony) but it would be very interesting to know if Lance is right that perhaps "90%" or so of people interviewed by the staff of the 9/11 Commission were handled in such an 'informal' way -- with no oath, no transcript or formal deposition, etc. That would be outrageous - anyone who had any 1st hand knowledge of words or actions by gov't officials, etc. certainly should have been under oath and formal depositions should have been part of the record created by the 9/11 Commission.... otherwise they are simply leaving many loopholes, gray areas, and soft spots where no one coming after the commission can know what the real evidence was.....
On the night of 9/11 -- it was 13 hours ahead in the Philippines. As Col. Mendoza sat working on a report he got an text message on his Nokia cell phone. It said, "urgent turn on CNN." When he did, only to see the South Tower fall, the first words out of his mouth when he called backed his friend were "They have done it. They have DONE it..." That's how certain he was that Yousef's plot exposed to him by Murad in 1995 -- which he had warned the Feds about in the spring of 1995 -- had been executed.
FP: How does all of this tie in to the 9/11 Commission?
FP: Do you remember Dietrich Dieter Snell, the AUSA who was the co-prosecutor on the Bojinka case. Well, an FBI #302 memo from 3/7/96 on my website shows that he was a direct party to all of the Scarpa-Yousef intelligence on TWA #800. Yet in early April, 2004 when forensic investigators Angela Clemente and Dr. Stephen Dresch, presented these #302's to the 9/11 Commission, not a word of any of this showed up in their final report published in late July, 2004. The report nominated for The National Book Award.
Understand the significance of this. Here is evidence from the FBI's own files of al Qaeda involvement in the second biggest act of terror in U.S. history and the 9/11 Commission -- lead by investigators like Dieter Snell, flushes it all.
Furthermore, Snell took all of the evidence from Col. Mendoza in the Philippines, which I presented following my testimony to the Commission in March, 2004 -- evidence which sets the genesis of the plot with Yousef and KSM in the fall of 1994 and he reduced it all to a end note at the end the book pushing the genesis of the plot FORWARD to 1996 and claiming that KSM had acted alone and that only recently had he joined al Qaeda.
My authority was Col. Rodolfo Mendoza, the man who interrogated Abdul Hakim Murad for 67 days. I sent the 9/11 Commission a transcript of my interview with the colonel in March, 2002, the video tape of the interview and multiple declassified PNP memos showing that all of the Yousef-KSM Manila plots 9n 1995-95 -- Bojinka, the plot to kill the Pope and the plot executed on 9/11 -- were funded directly by OBL via his brother in law.
But Dietrich Snell's source for the genesis of the plote in 1996 -- two years later -- in which an alleged lone KSM came up with the plan -- was Khalid Shaikh Mohammed himself.
