MANILA, 26 July 2003 — The third highest ranking official of Osama Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda terrorist network has admitted to US authorities that he plotted in Manila the Sept.11 , 2001 attacks on the United States, CNN reported last night.

CNN said Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who was arrested overseas earlier this year, admitted during interrogation that he and his nephew Ramzi Yousef planned in 1994 the Sept. 11 attacks that killed more than3 , 000people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

“They were sent to carry out an audacious plot to bomb 11 US airlines over the Pacific, which the FBI estimates could have killed 4, 000people,” it said, adding that the plan was aborted after the two men’s safe house — a unit in an apartment building on Manila’s Quirino Highway — accidentally caught fire.

Mohammed has been charged in the 1995 plot to bomb or hijack 11 US-bound flights coming from Asian countries, including the Philippines. Yousef was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York.



Now tell me again, Condi, no one ever thought that someone would fly airplanes into buildings? No one could connect the dots? You didn't have to connect the dots. You had the whole damn plan on a silver platter. Google Project Bojinka, if you want to know more about what our National Security Advisor claims she couldn't have possibly have known anything about.

What Condi meant was that no one ever thought that someone would fly those specific airplanes into those specific buildings at that specific rate of speed at that specific time of day and hit those specific floors of those specific buildings causing a specific number of people to die?

See?

She's completely blameless.

Damn anti-American freedom-hater, you.
