ORLANDO, FL -- Tuesday, July 13, 2004 Posted 1:30 PM EDT -- TomFlocco.com -- Homeland Security whistleblower Mary Schneider is naming names, revealing that former FBI Director Louis Freeh, Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI Director Robert Mueller and numerous U.S. senators and congressmen knew before the September 11 attacks that U.S. immigration officials were bribed by an illegal Moroccan Muslim allegedly linked to Osama bin Laden’s half-brother. This according to Schneider, who was told about the illegal alien's ties to terrorism by outside informant Bonnie Sharrit.

Khalil bin Laden was allowed to leave the country after 9-11 via a documented 140-person multi-flight Saudi airlift through the auspices of the White House who declined to hold Khalid as a material witness despite his suspicious connections to the Tri-Border frontier region of Brazil--known for evidence of terrorism--but also Khalil's inquiries to informants Bonnie and Ed Sharrit about bringing in Arabs from Saudi Arabia and Brazil to attend a Florida flight school.

Within three months after this issue was addressed in the February, 2003 court deposition of Orlando immigration supervisor Susan Dugas in Schneider vs. Ashcroft & Zigler, the security officer was relocated from the Orlando office after reporting the incidents. The FBI, INS, senators and congressmen with full knowledge failed to take any action to stop the bribery.

Schneider said she contacted U.S. Senators more than one year before the attacks about the allegations linked to Abad, Atta and Khalil bin Laden--including Bob Graham (D-FL), Trent Lott (R-TX), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Arlen Specter (R-PA), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), but also Congressmen Cliff Stearns (R-FL), Joe Scarborough (former Florida Republican congressman and current MSNBC host), Walter Jones (R-NC), Harold Rogers (D-KY), Corrine Brown (D-FL), John Mica (R-FL), Bill McCollum (former Florida Republican congressman and current U.S. Senate candidate), former Florida congressional Republicans Charles Canady (R-FL) and Tillie Fowler (R-FL), Lamar Smith, (R-TX) Dan Burton (R-IN) and David Weldon (R-FL).



Besides multiple contacts with the FBI, INS and Congress before the attacks, Schneider also sent letters since 9-11 to all members of both the Senate and House Permanent Select Committees on Intelligence who have ignored and thus far failed to respond to her pleas for action to remove the terrorist cells.

This, as Byron York of National Review Online (9-11-2002) quoted FBI spokesman Bill Carter: "Unless you have evidence to stop them from leaving the country , they have every right to do that," Carter explained.

3. Sleeping with the enemy
Exclusive: Breaking 9-11 scandal

Sleeping with the enemy

Homeland Security whistleblower told Congress, Bush, Ashcroft, Mueller, Ridge that Florida immigration officials accepted sham marriage bribes linked to congressional office, al Qaeda operatives, and 9/11 terrorism. House and Senate still silent.

by Tom Flocco

< April 10, 2004 Letter To Chairman Thomas Kean & 9-11 Commission, Washington, DC ( via facsimile, E-mail & FedEx overnight express) : "...Muslim Moroccans were using illegally obtained permanent U.S. residence (green cards) to aid and abet Osama bin Laden terrorist subversives operating out of Orlando and Miami....Since April of 1998, I have repeatedly sent an aggregate total of hundreds of letters, memoranda, emails and official case notes to dozens and dozens of accountable officials: to INS Commissioners Ziglar, Garcia and Aguirre, DOJ OIG Glen Fine, DOJ Attorney General John Ashcroft, DOJ FBI Directors Louis Freeh and Robert Mueller, DOJ Criminal Division, OSC Elaine Kaplan, President George W. Bush, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and dozens of other congressmen, only to have this sensitive information continually handed over to the known conspirators. This provided them unending opportunities to destroy incriminating material evidence, such as video tapes, and pay off or threaten informants and witnesses."[br />Mary Schneider, Dept. of Homeland Security / Citizenship & Immigration Services (DOJ/INS), District Adjudications Officer, Orland& Designated Federal Whistleblower:

ORLANDO, FL -- Wednesday, May 26, 2004 Posted 10:30 PM EDT -- TomFlocco.com -- An illegal Moroccan Muslim reportedly linked to Osama bin Laden’s brother and who lived with 9-11 hijacker Mohammed Atta prior to the attacks, allegedly engaged in immigration felony fraud, bribery, and perjury in conjunction with United States immigration officials. The government employees allegedly conspired with this and other illegal Muslim extremists and aliens to approve sham-marriages for the purpose of acquiring permanent green cards to stay in the U.S. before and after the attacks to support terrorist cells in America.

Mary Schneider, a citizenship and immigration services district adjudications officer for the Department of Homeland Security in Orlando told TomFlocco.com in a series of interviews over the past few days that the illegal Muslim was reportedly associated with Osama bin Laden's brother. Khalil bin Laden resided for years in the Orlando area prior to September 11; but the FBI permitted him to leave the country on September 16 without being questioned--despite alleged ties to an al-Qaeda supporter and the lead 9/11 hijacker, according to an outside informant.

4. Something on Khalil bin laden
Magazine: Osama bin Laden's brother is Brazil's Honorary Consul in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Copyright APonline E-mail this story
The Associated Press

SAO PAULO, Brazil (September 23, 2001 09:20 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - Terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden's brother is Brazil's representative in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah, a Brazilian magazine reported Sunday.

Khalil Mohamed bin Laden has been Brazil's Honorary Consul in Jeddah since 1988, according to respected weekly magazine Veja. He was appointed by then-president Jose Sarney.

Khalil bin Laden is married to a Brazilian, Isabel Cristina Bayma, and visits Brazil once a year. The couple met while studying in the United States, the magazine reported.

Khalil spends a great deal of his time in the United States, the magazine reported, where he has business interests. It quoted a Brazilian diplomat as saying Khalil denounced his brother in the past as being a religious fanatic.

There are 1.5 million Muslims living in Brazil, with the largest concentration in the states of Parana and Rio Grande do Sul, according to the Brazilian Islamic Federation. The first mosque in Latin America was built in Brazil in 1956.

5. A little more:
In addition, Khalil bin Laden has interests in the tri-border area discussed in—among other programs--FTR#402. “Khalil bin Laden, who boarded a plane in Orlando that eventually took him back to Saudi Arabia, won the attention of Brazilian investigators for possible terrorist connections. According to a Brazilian paper, he had business connections in the Brazilian province of Minas Gerais, not far from the tri-border region, an alleged center for training terrorists. . . .” (Ibid.; p. 176.)
