Khobar Towers (as told by Louis Freeh - WOW!)

You could add in the response
"What do the polls say?"

[bwteim]

You are most welcome!

[Dick Bachert]

Lots of folks haven't read Freeh's book so this is NEW news.

Damn glad none of YOUR loved ones perished in that explosion!

And if the bad guys become active here again, we'll send them to YOUR house first.

Insensitive dolt!!

Don't forget the embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi.

Upon being advised that our investigation now had proof that Iran blew up Khobar Towers, Mr. Berger's astounding response was: "Who knows about this?" His next, and wrong, comment was: "That's just hearsay." When I explained that under the Federal Rules of Evidence the detainees' comments were indeed more than "hearsay," for the first time ever he became interested - and alarmed - about the case. But this interest translated into nothing more than Washington "damage control" meetings held out of the fear that Congress, and ordinary Americans, would find out that Iran murdered our soldiers.

Freeh's a good man - and he should have headed up the "Page Investigation" - what is Danny Boy thinking?

About that stalling... guess who was on the FBI investigation? James Stonewall Comey. Evidently he could never prove the Mullahs’ intent.

Always interesting when you revive old threads.

Here’s something else from Freeh :

““What I say is that it was very clear that the Iranians knew at some point that the Americans knew that they had blown up a dormitory and murdered 19 Air Force heroes in Khobar, and they also knew that we weren’t taking any action to address it.”“

Trump took action to address the Iranians the other day

[piasa]

Yep.

...two of the primary leaders of the attack, Ahmed Ibrahim al-Mughassil and Abdel Hussein Mohamed al-Nasser, are living comfortably in Iran with about as much to fear from America as Osama bin Laden had prior to Sept. 11 (to wit, U.S. marshals showing up to serve warrants for their arrests). The aftermath of the Khobar bombing is just one example of how successive U.S. governments have mishandled Iran.
