Missed Calls: Is the NSA lying about its failure to prevent 9/11? (James Bamford)

[nationalize the fed]

16. The truth might have come out earlier

Here's a sample of over 5+ years of work done by a pro pilot that was deeply affected by 911- he knew some of the pilots and crew that died. And he knew it could have been him.

Saudi Connection to the 9/11 Hijackers

The hijackers’ training records from several U.S. flight schools indicate that they were marginal pilots, at best, even in single-engine airplanes. In early 2000, three of the pilot/hijackers are heavily documented at a small flight school near Venice, Florida, while the fourth attended schools in Arizona and California. This would account for the basic flight training of the pilots but in no way can explain the expert level of airmanship required for the 911 hit...snip

... So began my search for Middle Eastern operators of Boeing airliners. Because the hijackers were mostly Saudi Arabian, the firm of Dallah Avco, a Saudi operator of multiple private Boeing airliners, soon stood out as a focal point. To my amazement, I immediately discovered that Congressional investigators had already linked Dallah Avco with the actual hijackers. Omar Bayoumi, a Dallah employee and operative within the Saudi Ministry of Aviation, had provided housing and basic support for three hijackers: Nawaf al-Hazmi, Khalid al-Mihdhar and the pilot/hijacker of American 77, Hani Hanjour.

FBI evidence of the cell would confirm that the hijacking team of American 77 had formed and operated separately with direct financial support from top-level members of the Saudi government, bitter enemies of al Qaeda. The picture was beginning to clear.

One Saudi official in particular, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, Saudi Ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005, was quickly traced to direct funding of the hijackers, through cashier’s checks, not from him he would say, but from his wife. Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, Maine Senator Susan Collins and Florida Senator Bob Graham learned that Saudi officials had directed agents in the United States to assist the future hijackers.snip

It would be great if the writer could tell his full story- he had documents that led him to a CIA airfield in Arizona called Pinal Airpark- very near where one of the hijackers was attending flight school-- a CIA airport going back to the Vietnam war. Where maybe a thousand or more airplanes sit on the tarmac, waiting to be dismantled for parts- and where jet training could easily be given to anyone, under the radar.

The writer is dead though. It was a "suicide". He supposedly shot himself, his two kids and his dog, right before he was to introduce "blockbuster new evidence" -(his words) of the making of 911.

RIP Philip Marshall. Thanks-We will keep calm and carry on.
