Did We Know About Mohamed Atta?

Investor's Business Daily ^ | October 5, 2010 | IBD Editorial Staff

[Anti-Bubba182]

"..The impulse to dismiss this as just another conspiracy theory is overwhelming. Yet the fact is that the Pentagon bought and destroyed 10,000 copies of a book.."

This is no way to discredit the story, but they will just stonewall until it is forgotten.

I would suggest you go back and read these and other IBD editorials and get caught up:

Then why would the IBD Editorial Staff ask the question, “Did we know about Mohamed Atta?”

We knew. First Twin Towers, Tanzania and Kenya embassies, we knew. Did the Clinton administration do anything but dismantle not just our military structure( "it's the economy stupid...." stripped the military of so much)and the spy community? Heavens, I was _____redacted a job back in____redacted to go into _____redacted and BUY back slaves( offered by _______redacted),Christian slaves; those not killed by_____redacted, (but think Mecca money) or ______redacted, maybe China???country's money being sent to Chad then off to Daffy Qhadaffi at 5-10 bucks a head.

Sorry no hard proof( burned all burned up), but even what I had showed it was a wild plan opportunity without having a LOT of boots on ground. Osama promised 9/11, but Clinton was too busy disrespecting our generals, our military structure in particular, ignoring a lot of intelligence or negligent on following through on hard facts then chose to waffle in a missile to the infamous milk factory was lame.

USS Cole and the assassination of a major asset masuod just before 9/11 made 9/11 imminent; granted I didn't know how bad it was going to be, never had a clue, but dang, I find it hard to believe the thousands working in the Pentagon, Lake Meade, across the river, there HAD to be ignored reports or just plain buried negligence. heack we bug everyone along with cooperation from the Brits...how could we have missed this? Doubtful; that's what pisses me off about the redactions but the redactions are there to save the arses of probably still working "company" assets sitting on their butts and can't even stop wikileakes these days

It was a rhetorical question.

Sandy Berger, Jamie S. Gorelick. Great examples of the Political Class protecting themselves.
Citizens were screwed, murdered to protect these people, and more

[Paladin2]

What you mean “we” Kemosabe?

[ScottinVA]

I`m quite sure Sandy Berger knew all about him...thus the visit to the National Archives and his subsequent “sloppy” handling (read: theft) of classified documents from there.

She never goes away, does she! I assume her ‘wall’ still stands.

[The Comedian]

At least he had a birth certificate.

We know more about Atta than we do about Hussein.

And frankly, he did less damage.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[AnalogReigns]

I wonder what a copy of that book would go for, assuming one might be available?

31.50 in hardcover at Amazon.com Of course this is the revised edition. The spiel from Amazon:

Important Message for Customers On Friday, August 13, 2010, just as St. Martin’s Press was readying its initial shipment of Operation Dark Heart, the Department of Defense expressed concern that its publication could cause damage to U.S. national security. The publication of the initial edition was canceled. However, after consulting with the author, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, St. Martin's Press agreed to incorporate some of the government’s changes, which includes redacting classified text, into a revised edition.

...he’s stuck in paradise without his suit! Hah!

Somehow, I doubt that he's in paradise right now.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Is this the guy whose plans for the 9/11 attack were on his hard drive and discoverable before 9/11

I think you maybe referring to Ramsi Yousef(sp?) and Project Bojinka.

IIRC, it was Ramsey who Tymothy Mc Veigh was cavorting with in the Philippines.

Sorry I’m late on this. If you want to check out someone, google Dietrich (Dieter) Snell and tell me he’s not the key player in all of this.
