Those tapes had a real eerie quality to them, especially the ones of him shooting video of 1 Liberty Plaza and the malls.

Now, right after 9/11, I seem to recall some arrests were made in connection with this kind of videotaping, but I don't have any idea of the disposition of the cases.

I do remember a thread here at FR about a carload of Middle Eastern types who were arrested for videotaping the Holland tunnel in NY, and they were found to have a whole bunch of passports in different names, but, as you may have suspected, they had Diplomatic Immunity, were from the UN, and the cops had to cut them loose..

This is the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks. Too many Freepers and others who want to see these tapes so I can't load the video's now.

This reminds me of a couple of personal experiences after 9/11 that I posted.

There is a lake, a good one hour drive from my home. It is in the middle of nowhere and is not a tourist thing. Usually the only people you see on the road besides the few who live there are boaters and fishers like me.

About two months after 9/11 I noticed several times middle eastern appearing people on the dam, which is just off the road, taking pictures. In over 25 years of going to up to that area, I never saw foriegn tourists taking pictures of the dam and the lake below the dam.

I mentioned this to a deputy sheriff that I knew who worked that big area. He had heard similiar reports and suggested that I carry a camera and to take pictures of those suddenly interested in the photo ops from the dam.

So I bought a disposable camera. About one week later on my trip home from fly fishing down stream. There were 3 middle eastern appearing guys taking pictures.

I pulled up behind in my big OJ Simpson Bronco, got out with my camera and placed my cell phone on the hood, and said "Let me take you picture, gentlemen!" They were in the car and took off in seconds. I took a picture as the vehicle was leaving and the little camera did not get the license plates.

About a month later, again on a trip home after fly fishing, there was another car and two couples who appeared to be middle eastern. When I parked behind them and got out, they got in their car and took off.

Since then, the officials have prohibited anyone from going within a quarter of a mile below the dam. They are watching the lake a lot closer. One day a small plane got very low over the lake and was doing some weird flyovers. Within minutes 2 jets from Travis AFB were there and basically in the face of the pilot. He took off and left.

Maybe the picture takers were just there for the scenery inspite of the scenery not being on any tourist map. Maybe not!
