You might recall that explaining how the 19 have been identified after 911 as being the alleged hijackers was already once the reason for a lie under oath during a 911 hearing.
"We ran passenger manifests through the system used by Customs—two were hits on our watch list of August 2001," Mr. Bonner testified. "And by looking at the Arab names and their seat locations, ticket purchases and other passenger information, it didn’t take a lot to do a rudimentary link analysis.
Customs officers were able to ID 19 probable hijackers within 45 minutes."
He meant 45 minutes after four planes had been hijacked and turned into missiles. "I saw the sheet by 11 a.m.," he said, adding proudly, "And that analysis did indeed correctly identify the terrorists."

Now here comes the next story how the FBI managed magically to identify the 19 right after the attacks!
“A former FBI agent and a former federal prosecutor who helped direct the New England investigation of the Sept. 11 attacks told Newsday that
one bag found in Boston contained far more than what the commission report cited, including the names of the hijackers, their assignments and their al-Qaida connections. "It had all these Arab-language papers that amounted to the Rosetta stone of the investigation," former FBI agent Warren Flagg said. The former federal prosecutor, who declined to be identified publicly, supported Flagg's account.
“How do you think the government was able to identify all 19 hijackers almost immediately after the attacks?" Flagg asked.
"They were identified through those papers in the luggage. And that's how it was known so soon that al-Qaida was behind the hijackings.”http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-uslugg0417,0,3743892.story?coll=ny-homepage-bigpix2005Impressive.
Only problem it is simply again a lie.
On September 12, 2001 Ameer and Adnan Bukhari and Abdul Rahman Al Omari were considered having being hijackers.
The Department of Justice on September 12 stated that 12-24 hijackers had been aboard the planes. The next day the official talk was 18 hijackers. Hani Hanjour was only added on September 14.
And btw why doesn’t the Rosetta stone not figure on the FBI affidavit?
Why does the Commission not cite it?
Why again is a lie published about the way the alleged hijackers have been identified?
