More trouble with the 911 O-mission! Captain Ed is all over this story - it's going to explode in the MSM one of these days, because this is hot stuff.

Some info of interest to you perhaps... and to others you may know

Iran info for you...

This certainly provides a motive for Berger's burgling.

It is such a pain in the arse to sign into Captains Quarters that I will use FR to tell the Captain that his report that Atta and Benalshib met in Madrid is wrong, they actually met in Tarragona. The interesting aspect of this is that the German intelligence service notified the Spanish intelligence service of Benalshib's arrival in Spain. Simultaneously, Atta arrived by plane from the USA, rented a car, and met Benalshib in Tarragona. It is quite possible that the German service is now aware that it screwed up as badly as the CIA and is thus attempting to cover its tail.

You can take it to the bank that if Iran's ties to 9/11 were ever mentioned by President Bush, the left would immediately charge him with trying to spread false rumors to justify an attack on that country.
The left would not be convinced by any evidence, unless Bush could produce a video tape, with audio, of Atta saying a last goodbye to the Iranian mullahs the day before 9/11.
In my opinion, hearings or no hearings, findings or no findings, this story, as far as the MSM is concerned, is deader than the Air America financial scandal.
The need for cover up is so great that the powers that be will stop at nothing to kill it. Why, just the other day I listened in amazement as an MSM reporter implied that Able Danger had, in their files, evidence against - Condi Rice! This not so subtle attempt to blackmail her into participating in the cover up is typical of the lengths that the guilty will go to save themselves.

Amazing. Thank you for posting that link...And Timmerman's book is one I have to read as well.

It is apparent that the 911 Commission needs to add another failure statement to it's missive....a 'failure to control ego'.

The sheer arrogance of officials up and down the ranks of the CIA, Justice Dept., NSA, the Commission itself, etc. is SO loud and clear...if they didn't think of it or they didn't own the source then it was discounted utterly, however, the coverup of those arrogant actions is the more sinister.

I bought and read that miserable report. Where can I get my money back?

[popdonnelly]

There was obviously large-scale bureaucratic CYA on the part of the FBI and the CIA regarding the run-up to 9/11. Both these agencies have demonstrated incompetence and are in need of reform. The American public needs to know the truth about this incompetence and about the roles of Iraq and Iran in assisting Al Qaeda. There is no way intelligent decisions about future actions can be made unless this information is disseminated to the public.
