Say no more. The way Bush averts his eyes from all terror trails Saudi, despite the prevalence of Saudi terrorists in the 9/11 attack is... well, "curious" is the euphamism that I'm going with right now.

An Iraqi refugee who said he falsely was accused of being one of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing suspects recently renewed a lawsuit against an Oklahoma City television station.
Al-Hussaini Hussain, who now lives in Boston, accuses KFOR Channel 4 of airing false and defamatory accusations against him in June 1995.

Two of the hijacked 9-11 jets departed from Boston's Logan Airport. Several sources have stated Al-Hussaini was working at Logan Airport on the ramp on 9-11.
U.S. Postal Employee Testifies for Grand Jury - TV Reporter Disavows Conspiracy

NOTE: Staff writer Ed Godfrey contributed to this report.
A U.S. Postal Service employee, who may have seen convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh and another man two days before the Oklahoma City bombing, appeared before the Oklahoma County grand jury Friday.
Raymond M. Klish, 42, a clerk at the post office on NW 5 when the bombing occurred, was expected to testify about an alleged sighting of McVeigh and John Doe 2 in the post office.
Klish worked with Debbie Nakanashi, another postal clerk, who previously testified before the grand jury.
Nakanashi told The Oklahoman a co-worker called her the Sunday after the bombing and jogged her memory of the two men who had come into the post office looking for a federal job.
"He (the co-worker) didn't mention what they looked like or anything like that. It was kind of like a tape running in my head. And as soon as I saw it, I said, `Oh, my God, what are we going to do?' " Nakanashi told The Oklahoman in July.
Grand jurors have been told about John Doe 2 sightings before and after the bombing. The descriptions vary in height, build and complexion. The sightings were in downtown Oklahoma City and Kansas.
On Sept. 9, Nakanashi told the grand jury about seeing McVeigh and John Doe 2 on Monday before the bombing.
She said she picked McVeigh out of a line-up and later spent eight hours with an FBI sketch artist who drew a picture of the man she saw with McVeigh.
Federal prosecutors said the FBI sketch of the dark-haired, muscular suspect actually depicted an innocent Army private and was drawn from information provided by Tom Kessinger, a mechanic at Eldon's Body Shop in Junction City, Kan., where the truck was rented.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The Tom Kessinger John Doe2 sketch of the McVeigh's accomplice in Kansas is the one in reply#49.
I believe the Debbie Nakanashi John Doe 2 sketch of McVeigh's accomplice seen with him in the OKC Post Office is the profile view in reply #50.(and there would certainly be a surveillance video operating in the Post Office at the time of the reported McVeigh visit.)
The other man who was involved in all three attacks was Melvin Lattimore operating out of OKC for all three!!!! Lattimore has also been known to the Feds for his involvement in all three by FBI informants for years.
The Feds really have not "touched " Samir Khalil, AL Hussaini and Melvin LAttimore (until after 9/11 for LAttimore only)and yet they have known to do so-WHY?? Were these men FBI/CIA informants?
Was there not FBI and COngressional Connivance?
Why did Bodansky wait for seven years to go public? Why did Bodfansky tell Davis to keep the details from the public (and courts) starting in 1996 becasue it was "too hot to handle"?
Why did Davis comply with Bodanskys request until after 9/11? She was urged repeatedly for years after 1995 by William Jasper(New American), Charles Key (OK REp), Paul Sperry (WND), Jerry Bohnen (KTOK radio news director in OKC), and Mike McNulty (Waco tape producer) to release details of the memo when she was told and knew that doing so had the strong cahnce of heading off future terror attacks and more government coverup? Why did she refuse their honorable requests for seven years? Even David Schippers told her on 9/11 that it was time to go public with the Bodansky memo-why did even Schippers have to prod Davis to do so after she had waited so long? Schippers showed he had a good conscience by asking Davis to move forward with the memo.
Which Republican and Dempocratic members in COngress , who in the FBI and CIA was Bodansky protecting for seven years? Waiting so long may have cost American lives because it delayed accountability and reform-which we still do not have. Was Bodansky's going public a "controlled release" to set the stage for going after Iraq? We may need to do something about Iraq now but it makes it harder politically and militarily to go after Iraq now when the evidence Bodansky and Davis had and sat on for seven years showed we could have and should have done so in 1995-1996 before 9/11 and before Iraq has gotten stronger militarily and politically (with the Arabs who no longer want to suppport an American coalition against).
Why has the letter by OK Republican Senator Inhofe's DC office chief of staff ,Herb Johnson, on the DOJ orders to the FBI to coverup the ME connection to OKC bombing never been released by Inhofe, by Jayna Davis Attorney Dan Nelson or by Davis herself?
I have personally asked David Schippers, the well known Chicago and former DOJ attorney working with Jayna Davis, Jim Crogan and James Reeser (BlueDogDemo)to have the Herb Johnson letter released. I have also asked Schippers to go public about what he learns from Davis and James Reeser, about Khalid Mohammed and the OKC bombing. I have told Schippers about Lattimore and the Ashcroft's coverup of the Travelers Aid witnesses and urged Schippers to go public about both stories. I am hoping and praying Schippers will follow through and succeed so America does not have to wait for another seven years as it did for the details of the Bodansky memo.
Feds Point Finger at Kuwaiti for 9-11
Wed Jun 5, 4:47 AM ET
By JOHN J. LUMPKIN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The likely mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks is a Kuwaiti-born lieutenant of Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) who had previously plotted to attack the World Trade Center and to bomb several airliners simultaneously, a top U.S. counterterrorism official says. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, one of the FBI (news - web sites)'s most-wanted terrorists, is at large in Afghanistan (news - web sites) or nearby, the law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
U.S. investigators believe Mohammed, working under bin Laden's leadership, planned many aspects of the Sept. 11 attacks.
"There's lots of links that tie him to 9-11," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "He was intricately involved."
Mohammed is accused of working with Ramzi Yousef in the first bombing of the World Trade Center, which left six dead in 1993. He and Yousef also were accused of plotting in 1995 to bomb several trans-Pacific airliners heading for the United States. Yousef, now serving a life sentence in the United States after being convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, also is believed to have planned to crash a plane into CIA (news - web sites) headquarters. Mohammed was charged by federal prosecutors in New York in 1996 in connection with the alleged 1995 plot. The State Department is offering a reward of up to $25 million for information leading to his capture.
Other bin Laden lieutenants are also believed to have helped put together the Sept. 11 attacks, the official said. But evidence is mounting that Mohammed was at the center of the operational planning.
A second U.S. official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged that Mohammed played a critical role in planning the attacks but said questions remain about the extent of his leadership. The official said other bin Laden lieutenants, including Abu Zubaydah, now in U.S. custody, are also believed to have played top organizational roles.
Mohammed, 36, is one of the highest-ranking al-Qaida leaders still at large, officials said, and continues to plan attacks against U.S. interests. Although he was born in Kuwait, officials there say he is a Pakistani national and note that people born in Kuwait do not automatically qualify for citizenship.
According to the counterterrorism official, within three months of Sept. 11, the FBI learned that Mohammed had performed some financial transactions to fund the attacks; since then the United States has gathered other significant evidence pointing to him as the key planner. The official declined to go into detail, citing a need to protect intelligence information.
The FBI describes Mohammed as in his mid-30s, slightly overweight and sometimes wearing a beard and glasses. His aliases include Ashraf Refaat Nabith Henin, Khalid Abdul Wadood, Salem Ali and Fahd Bin Abdallah Bin Khalid. U.S. officials have repeatedly said that capturing or killing bin Laden's cadre of lieutenants — men like Mohammed — is a key goal in the war on terrorism. In some ways, they are considered as dangerous as bin Laden: Where al-Qaida's leader serves as an inspiration to his followers, his top aides conduct the nuts-and-bolts planning of attacks.
The lieutenants are said to pick targets and attack dates, maintain operational secrecy and provide money and training to the foot soldiers and overseas cells chosen to carry them out — sometimes at the cost of their own lives. Most of the 19 suicide hijackers are thought not to have known the entirety of the Sept. 11 plot — or that they were going to die — but Mohammed apparently did, the counterterrorism official said.
Mohammed has not been charged in connection with the attacks, in which hijacked airliners crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon (news - web sites) and a southwestern Pennsylvania field, killing more than 3,000. He was a close associate of Abu Zubaydah when both were free, officials said.
Some of the hijackers trained at Abu Zubaydah's Khalden camp in Afghanistan, officials said. Generally, though, the hijackers trained in groups of one or two at several camps, and they were kept apart from most other trainees.
Abu Zubaydah, captured in Pakistan in March, is said to have told U.S. interrogators that the hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was destined for the White House, suggesting he knew of the planning.
According to investigators, the Sept. 11 attacks were largely paid for by Shaikh Saiid al-Sharif, also known as Mustafa Ahmed al-Hisawi, who is bin Laden's financial chief. Officials traced a number of financial transactions between him and several of hijackers, but Shaikh Saiid was not believed to have the wherewithal to plan an operation of Sept. 11's magnitude. He is at large.
A fourth bin Laden lieutenant, Tawfiq Attash Khallad, is also suspected of playing a planning role. He met with Sept. 11 hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in January 2000, just before Almihdhar and Alhazmi entered the United States. Khallad paid for some of the pair's travel before Sept. 11, the counterterrorism official said.
Khallad, believed to be a chief planner of the October 2000 USS Cole (news - web sites) bombing, remains at large, the official said.
Some key connections have yet to be worked out, the official acknowledged, such as who selected the hijackers to conduct the Sept. 11 operation.
Bin Laden and his top two deputies, Ayman al-Zawahri and Mohammed Atef, were believed to have known about the attacks in advance, by virtue of their station in al-Qaida. Al-Zawahri's family was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan. It is not known where he is.
Atef, killed by U.S. airstrikes in November, had a martyrdom video of other purposed hijackers at his house. Ramzi Binalshibh was a member of Atta's cell in Germany, but was unable to enter the United States. He remains at large.
Bin Laden himself admitted foreknowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks on a Nov. 9 videotape of him having dinner with a Saudi sheik, al-Zawahri and some other supporters.

Assistant US Attorney Murdered or Suicided For Investigating Federal Cover-up of OKC Bombing?
Rescuers live with memories - Many didn't seek help in dealing with stress
Diane Plumberg
04/16/2000
Excerpts
NOTE: 9:02 WE COME TO REMEMBER
Ted Richardson was not a well-known figure in the bombing saga. The assistant U.S. attorney was not assigned to the bombing case but helped with preparing it, as did several attorneys in his office. It was the same office shared by U.S. Attorney Pat Ryan, who helped prosecute McVeigh and Nichols.
On a Tuesday morning in the parking lot of the First Christian Church where bomb survivors and relatives often met, Richardson held a shotgun to his chest and pulled the trigger.
On the front of the white T-shirt he was wearing were the images of a doctor, a police officer, a firefighter, a dog and the inscription "Nameless Saints We Give Our Thanks."
The back of the shirt read "The hundreds of people that give their all without personal individual acknowledgment, April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City, OK."
The latest suicide was Laurence Martin.
He wasn't a rescuer, but a survivor. He was one of those victims whom rescuers fought so hard to save.
Martin was a U.S. Army recruiter in the federal building.
In October 1998, Martin rented a Cessna from an Oklahoma City airpark and flew to a church he and his girlfriend attended. He pointed the nose of the airplane toward the ground and fell to the earth. He was 41.
Terry Yeakey restored many families that day. The 30-year-old police sergeant crawled over piles of crushed concrete and furniture as electrical wires sparked overhead. He saved Richard Williams, Randy Ledger, Tom Hall and a woman he only knew by her injuries.
Not long after the bombing, a friend, Romona McDonald, said Yeakey wrote her about his problems.
"I think my days as a police officer are numbered," the letter stated. "I think there is a lot of secrets floating around now about my mental state of mind. I believe that a lot of the problems the officers are having right now are because some of them know what really happened and can't deal with it."
In May 1996, Yeakey was found in a grassy field near a grove of trees in El Reno, where Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols had been held in a federal prison. He had slit his wrists and neck and shot himself in the head.
Yeakey is buried next to his mother in an El Reno cemetery. He left behind two young daughters, who are now 8 and 6.

For such reasons, Johnston said in papers filed in federal court in Oklahoma City that, "Dr. Barbouti and his companies in this country continue to pose a clear and present danger to the people of the United States."
iirc, Wallaby posted to the forum some indepth research on Barbouti a couple years ago. unforutately, they are "archived".

LAWMEN GET WARNING OF PLOT ON U.S. TARGETS
ROBERT RUDOLPH
U.S. law enforcement authorities have obtained information that Islamic terrorists may be planning suicide attacks against federal courthouses and government installations in the United States.
The attacks, it is feared, would be designed to attract worldwide press attention through the murder of innocent victims.
The Star-Ledger has learned that U.S. law enforcement officials have received a warning that a ''fatwa,'' a religious ruling similar to the death sentence targeting author Salman Rushdie, has been issued against federal authorities as a result of an incident during the trial last year of four persons in the bombing on the World Trade Center in New York.
The disclosure was made in a confidential memorandum issued by the U.S. Marshals Service in Washington calling for stepped-up security at federal facilities throughout the nation.
The ''fatwa'' was allegedly sanctioned by an unidentified Islamic Iman, or holy man, in retaliation for what was perceived as a religious ''insult'' against Islamic fundamentalists by federal law enforcement officers. According to the memo, the information about the threat was obtained from an unidentified ''informed source'' who said the death sentence was specifically directed against U.S. Marshals Service personnel.
The informant reported that the threat was issued because deputy U.S. Marshals allegedly ''insulted'' Islam ''by stepping on a copy of the Koran,'' the Islamic holy book, during a scuffle with several prisoners convicted in the World Trade Center bombing.
The Marshals Service memo said the agency believes that ''there is sufficient threat potential to request that a heightened level of security awareness and caution be implemented at all Marshals Service-protected facilities nationwide.''
Government sources say authorities in New Jersey are taking the danger seriously and have increased security at key federal facilities in the state, including all federal courthouses.
The memo, issued by Eduardo Gonzalez, director of the U.S. Marshals Service, warns that attacks may be designed to ''target as many victims as possible and draw as much media coverage as possible'' to the fundamentalist cause.
