How very interesting..
Another posted article here on FR noted that the commission's disclaimer was that Atta did not recieve his visa until MAY 2000, and "couldn't have been in the country before then..
The relevant data discussed by the officer showed Atta to be a member of an al-Qaida cell in New York City from February to April 2000, the statement said. But the commission knew that according to travel and immigration records, Atta first obtained a U.S. visa on May 18, 2000, and first arrived in the United States on June 3, 2000, the statement said.
9/11 Commissioners Defend Intel Omission
Yet, in THIS ARTICLE, there is a statement "from the commission" saying:
The CIA, and the 9/11 commission, say Atta wasn't in Prague April 9, 2001, because his cell phone was used in Florida that day. But there is no evidence of who used the phone. Atta could have lent it to a confederate. (It wouldn't have worked in Europe anyway.)
So, which IS IT?
Seems the Commission is saying Atta WAS here, and WASN'T here in practically the same breath!!!
He was in Florida in May, (or in Prague) but either way, he had a cell phone registered in his name in the US, on APRIL 9, 2000..
Yet, Commission officials insist he didn't apply for a visa until MAY 18, 2000, and didn't arrive in the US until JUNE 3, 2000..
These people need to be charged, and forced to testify before a Grand Jury, every one of them...
Then indicted, tried, and sent to jail for a very long time..
I know, it will never happen..
Cheers!
I do't know what the Commission reported about Atta...But the Senate Intelligence Report dated December 2002 says: Atta and al-Shehhi rented apartments in NY before going to Florida in early July of 2000.
