FBI CLOSING IN ON EVIL GANG

"These are not material witnesses," one law-enforcement source said.
"They facilitated the attack. They aided and abetted the hijackers."

I do hope that this is true.

The FBI doesn't let this kind of information "leak out" unless they have a strategic reason for it. Patience, glasshoppa.

Is this information helpful to either law enforcement or the public?

NO!

Maybe President Bush should review the British policy called the "D notice," which prohibits the media from releasing information that is detrimental to ongoing investigations that impact national security. Our free press is endangering our freedom for the sake of a scoop.

I truly hope that one of the facilitators turns out to be the retired professor who housed two of the hi-jackers and rented rooms in his house to several other "material witnesses" still in custody.

Why blame the press? They are only printing what they've been fed by the Fed. Certainly the Fed has some purpose in releasing this information.

Probably from Berkley.

Nope, San Diego. Lemon Grove to be exact. The old b@stard keeps bragging to the U-T reporters that "he is not a suspect" and so far the FBI has let him get away with his denials. An outrage IMHO. How could he have housed 2 hi-jackers and a total of five other "material witnesses" and not known a thing!

President Bush is not the Queen.

I agree. Perhaps they are trying to cause some kind of 'movement' by the ones observed?

Meanwhile, the Immigration and Naturalization Service yesterday announced the arrest of a Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad sympathizer in Tampa, Fla., on charges he violated his visa. Mazen al Najjar, who helped raise money for the anti-Israel and anti-U.S. groups, was ordered deported by the U.S. 11th Circuit court in Atlanta.

Is that what happened to A+bert?

I think the authorities are trying to panic the leaders of bin Laden's organization. La Repubblica was reporting yesterday that codebooks of al Qaeda were captured in Kabul.

It's hard to see the benefit of this kind of information getting out to the public, but then again I'm not exactly Lt. Kojak, so I don't know. It just makes me nervous it'll tip off the wrong people and thwart the investigation. I hope you're right that this was intentional.

The press is the propaganda wing of the Federal government.
