Reply #18: RE: Whose negligence would you say is most to blame for the attacks of 9/11? [View All]

There is now more than enough evidence to prove many people knew about these attacks and it is now easy to see where the negligence, the out right criminal negligence, is found.

Here is a partial list of who knew what when and what did they do about the information they had.

CIA:

The CIA knew the names of several of the terrorists who were to take part in this attack for 21 months, Khalid al-Mihdhar, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Salem al-Hazmi. They even had photographs of them from surveillance of an al Qaeda planning meeting in Kuala Lumpur in January 5-8, 2000. They had photographed at this same meeting Khallad Bin Attash, later found to be the mastermind of the Cole bombing who had recruited and trained several of the terrorists who took part in the attacks on 9/11. At this meeting both the attack on the USS Cole and the attacks on the World Trade Towers had been planned. Khalid al-Mihdhar, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Salem al-Hazmi were all on flight AA 77 that hit the Pentagon.

The CIA knew they were all long time al Qaeda terrorists, knew several weeks prior to the attacks on 9/11 that they were inside of the US. But what is the most horrific, the CIA even ultimately knew several weeks prior to the attacks on 9/11 that they were going to take part in a huge al Qaeda terrorist attack inside of the US that would kill thousands of Americans.

The CIA knew that the Kuala Lumpur meeting where these terrorists had been photographed had taken place less that one week after the hijacking of AirIndia 814, a hijacking where the hijacked aircraft was flown to the airport at Kandahar, Afghanistan , the airport where Mohammed Atef, military commander of the al Qaeda terrorists, had his headquarters. and the administration headquarters of the al Qaeda terrorists. So the CIA knew full well that the meeting in Kuala Lumpur with many long time al Qaeda terrorists was being held in order to plan future aircraft hijackings.

June 12, 2001, according to the 9/11 Commission report, the CIA finds out Khalid Sheik Mohammed is involved in the huge attack they are aware of. They are told KSM is sending many al Qaeda terrorists into the US, in the summer of 2001, to link up with other al Qaeda terrorists who already inside of the US to carry out this attack.
The CIA already knows Ramzi Yousef had been arrested at an al Qaeda safe house in 1996, that Yousef and KSM are related, and that both had been involved in the 1993 bombing at the WTC Towers and in the Bojinka plot. Philippine intelligence had already told the CIA that the second part of the Bojinka plot, found on Harkim Abdul Murrad's computer, described hijacking multiple aircraft inside of the US and flying them into the WTC Towers, the Pentagon and the Capitol and the CIA HQ. The CIA was aware that KSM had helped financed the WTC Towers attack of 1993,

So when the CIA is told the names of the people who are behind the attack in the summer of 2001 it is inconceivable that they do not know that it involves multiple hijacked aircraft and the targets are the WTC Towers, Pentagon, Capitol and other symbolic buildings in the US.

Tom Wilshire, former Deputy Chief of the Bin Laden unit.

July 5, 2001 Wilshire sends email back to the CIA and his CTC mangers that says he is sure that people at the Kuala Lumpur meeting, Khalid al-Mihdhar, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Salem al-Hazmi, are all connected to the warnings of a huge al Qaeda attack, warnings that the CIA has been receiving since April 2001.

July 13, 2001, just 3 days after Tenet and Black tell Rice and Clarke a huge al Qaeda attack will take place inside of the US that will kill thousands of Americans, Wilshire asks his CTC managers via email, for permission to send this information to the FBI. He is never given this permission.

NOTE: I had personally asked Bob Woodward, who was speaking in San Francisco at the Commonwealth Club, in October 2006, and who works at the Washington Post and is the author of "State of Denial" when he clearly describes this July 10, 2001 meeting is his book, and the fact that Tenet and Black told Rice and Clarke about this horrific attack, then why did Tenet ad Black forbid Wilshire on July 13, 2001, three days after this famous July 10, 2001 meeting from transferring the information on the Kuala Lumpur meeting, and Khallad, Mihdhar and Hazmi, over to the FBI, an action that would have prevented the attacks that took place in 9/11. His answer was "every time you look at the events on 9/11 you can peel back yet another layer of the onion!"

July 23, 2001 Wilshire again sends a email request to his CTC mangers asking what had happened to his July 13 request to transfer information on the Kuala Lumpur meeting to the FBI and further says he is sure Mihdhar, and by association, Hazmi, will be found at the point of the next big al Qaeda attack. He again is not given permission. It is clear his CTC mangers were being supervised and directed by CTC head Cofer Black and his boss George Tenet.

August 22, 2001, Wilshire is told by FBI Agent Margaret Gillespie, a FBI IOS agent working at the CIA Bin Laden unit, that Mihdhar and Hazmi are now both inside of the US. While, he is clearly aware that they will take part in a huge al Qaeda attack that will kill thousands of Americans, Wilshire continues to hide this information from the FBI, and also continues to hide the photo of Khallad Bin Attash taken at Kuala Lumpur from the FBI knowing this will allow FBI agents at FBI HQ (FBI Agent Dina Corsi) to block any investigation of Mihdhar and will prevent the FBI criminal investigators from stopping these attacks. He clearly knows that as a result, thousands on Americans will perish from his and CIA actions.

George Tenet and Cofer Black

July 10, 2001 Tenet and Black tell Condoleezza Rice and Richard Clarke that a huge al Qaeda attacks is just about to take place inside of the US that will kill thousands of Americans.

July 17, 2001, Tenet and Black tell Rumsfeld and Ashcroft the same information that a huge al Qaeda attack will take place inside of the US that will kill thousands of Americans. Ashcroft is so terrified of being killed in a aircraft hijacking, he immediately quits flying on commercial aircraft for fear of being on a aircraft hijacked by al Qaeda terrorists. Since Ashcroft is suppose to be the head of the FBI it is strange he does never tells the FBI what the CIA knows. CBS reports this on July 26, 2001.

August 23, 2001

When Gillespie forces the CIA Bin Laden unit to issue a worldwide alert for Mihdhar and Hazmi on August 23, 2001, the entire CIA Bin Laden unit and even the entire CIA hierarchy, including Tenet and Black, knew these al Qaeda terrorists were inside of the US for no other reason than to take part in the huge al Qaeda attack the CIA was aware of. Yet this information is deliberately kept secret by all of these people, from the FBI. Although we are told in the CIA IG report that 50-60 people at the CIA are now aware of this information, no one raises any alarm and no alarm is ever given to anyone at the FBI about the huge attack inside of the US that is just about to take place.

Tenet is also told about Zacarias Moussaoui on August 23, 2001, and is told that the FBI thinks he is an al Qaeda terrorist training on a 747 without any flight experience because it appears to them he is planning to take part in an aircraft hijacking that will fly a plane into the WTC towers. Moussaoui is found with two four-inch knives in his possessions. The CIA is told Moussaoui is in hurry to finish his flight training by August 22, 1001.

August 24, 2001 Tenet flies down to Crawford for an emergency meeting with the President, a meeting that has been kept secret from the MSM and the American people. In the 9/11 Commission hearings on April 14, 2004 Tenet was asked by Tim Roemer on the 9/11 Commission why if he knew a huge al Qaeda attack was about to take place that would kill thousands of Americans why did he not tell the President in August 2001. He said he had not talked to the President in August, but Bill Harlow, CIA spokesperson, right after Tenet was done with his testimony and could no longer be asked any questions, said Tenet had lied. He had flown down to Crawford in August several times and talked to the President.

So why did Tenet lie, this shows in legal terms what is referred to as consciousness of guilt, an action that shows you are guilty of something. It is clear that Tenet did not want to answer, and in fact was afraid to answer any questions as to what did he tell the President in August about this huge attack. But Tim Roemer had asked him multiple times if he knew thousands of Americans were just about to be killed in this huge attack, and the President's most important job is to keep the American people protected, what did he tell the President in August to make sure Tenet did not misunderstand the question. Tenet said he not talked to the President at all in August because he was in Washington and the President was in Crawford. When he was asked why he did not pick up the telephone and call the President, Tenet said he could not explain why he did not pick up the telephone and call the President, this was just something he could not explain. When asked what did he tell the people at the Principles meeting on September 4, 2001, this was the first Principles meeting on the al Qaeda terrorists in the current administration, Tenet said he told them nothing, and when asked why, he said, "For what ever reason it was not appropriate, (to tell the Principles that a huge al Qaeda attack was about to take place that would kill thousands of Americans), and he could not explain any further.

When asked by Scott Pelle in 60 Minutes if Tenet told Rice, Clarke, Ashcroft and Rumsfeld, why did he not tell the President, Tenet said he simply just had not told the President and then said he could not explain this any further. Tenet said Pelle could ask until the cows came home but he would have no further explanation to this all but incomprehensible behavior!

So what did Tenet tell the President in August or the six times he talked to the President in September just before the attacks on 9/11?

The whole world would like to know.

Was he lying when he said he had not told the President. He had lied many times to the Joint Inquiry Committee and to the 9/11 Commission but we are now suppose to believe Tenet on this issue, even when it is clear that his answer makes no sense and he says he will not further explain his answer to clarify an answer that makes absolutely no sense.

If Tenet did not tell the President he is then clearly guilty of treason and the whole world knows it. But if he did tell the President and the President did nothing and just let all of these 3000 Americans be murdered by the al Qaeda terrorists on 9/11 then you have to reach an entirely different conclusion.

Tenet won't say what he told the President in August or September. Then what did Rice, Rumsfeld and Ashcroft tell the President, when they were all told of this huge al Qaeda attack the CIA had told them about? We don't know the answer for that either.

So many questions and so few answers! The conclusions you can reach is up to every American to reach themselves.

But it is now clear that the Director of the CIA, the head of the CTC section of the CIA, the entire Bin Laden unit at the CIA, several CIA stations including Yemen, Thailand and Malaysia and even the FBI director, the head of the FBI ITOS, the liaison to the FBI ITOS, the FBI Bin Laden unit and the FBI RFU unit were all involved in hiding critical information from the FBI field criminal investigators or in blocking critical investigations of at least three al Qaeda terrorists inside of the US.

We now know that almost everyone of importance in the current administration, including Rice, Clarke, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft and perhaps even the President himself, clearly knew about this attack, knew it would kill thousands of Americans, and then they did absolutely nothing in any way to prevent this huge attack from taking place. They even seemed to go out of their way to make sure nothing was done to prevent this huge al Qaeda terrorist attack. No one even bothered to alert the FBI, or step in to block the CIA and FBI HQ from shutting down investigations of known al Qaeda terrorists inside of the US.

What is the biggest horror story of all is that all of this is information is now in the public domain.
All of this is now all explained in much greater detail in a new book, "Prior Knowledge of 9/11".

The big question is why has the main stream media been deliberately hiding this information from the American public?

GO FIGURE!
