UH OH........... This is gonna f--k things up for Bush in his attempt to create a coalition for an attack (with the Arabs anyway).... The CIA and FBI are definetely showing their verification abilities with this.......

Lets see how this pans out

I think this just points out that some people's identities were stolen and that is part of the terrorist's plan.

Sounds like these guys used the names of other Muslims who were already pilots. And supposedly, 1500 Muslims were killed at the WTC. They are doing this to fellow Muslims?
No wonder patriotic Muslim-Americans are lining up at military recruitment centers.

I'd check these "alive & well" individual's bank statements to see if perhaps they may have sold their identities to the highest bidder.

This is rather stupid. Everybody knows that terrorists assume bogus or stolen identities. And they did not check more paper trails to make sure that id info's are genuine. FBI spends all its time covering for Clinton regime and clamping down on domestic political dissent.

As far as the real identities of the perps goes, it matters very little. The Arab world will try to use it for negative propaganda globally, alleging that we are targeting OBL (et al) with mis-information. The fact the these no-name perps can be traced to specific groups through their contacts, the flow of money and their training, is all that is needed to open the bomb bay doors. I'm glad that these jerks don't have real names, so that they can't be saluted back in der vaterland. May all of their vigins be men! Really ugly, nasty men!

I think this is called lying. It's not exactly a surprise. It doesn't mean it's a failure of US intelligence. They probably knew/know this.

[imperator2]

I wouldn't trust anything an Arab says. Lying is as much part of their culture as Islam, and probably a lot older.
