Pt I thought this would be a welcome addition. Look at some of these people who are also disbelievers. Boy you would think it was only you, me, and Agent that cooked up this bizarre scenario. Hell, there is even a Marine who has big time doubts.

WHY IS THE 911 "FRINGE" MOVEMENT SO MAINSTREAM?
By Devvy Kidd, devvyk@earthlink. net
October 25, 2007

"It just didn't make any sense to me... When one starts using his own
mind, and not what one was told, there is very little to believe in the
official story." September 5, 2007 - U.S. Navy 'Top Gun' pilot, Commander

Ralph Kolstad

On October 19, 2007, some individuals in the audience of a taping of
the Bill Maher show disrupted the airing; Maher joined security in removing
these folks from the building. I know little about Maher and have never
subscribed to any of the so-called premium channels like HBO on moral
grounds. The individuals removed wanted Maher and his guests to talk about
911. The aftermath was a fresh barrage of verbal missiles aimed at anyone
with questions about 911. Useful idiot, John Gibson, of the FAUX (FOX)
Network,
refers to people with reasonable questions about 911 as "ragtag
conspiratorialists."

Bill O'Reilly and his stable of regular commentators always refer to
those seeking the truth about 911 as conspiracy wackos;
the "fringe element"
that no one takes seriously. He is particularly nasty and often hysterical
in his tirades. They all pull out Rosie O'Donnell as the poster child to
bolster their rants. Following along with the rest of these mindless robots
comes Glen Beck.
Uh, who? Beck does a show on CNN's News Network. I'm not
sure who would waste their time watching him after having scanned his show a
couple of times for a total of five minutes, but apparently he has some sort
of audience or he'd be off the air. Beck is a documented 911 truth basher.
His latest statement on his web site reads: "Bill Maher's nasty spat with
some 9/11 conspiracy nut jobs was a nuisance on live TV, but are these
conspiracy theorists a menace to society? You bet they are."

Beck also has a poll up on his site with the question: "Conspiracy
Craziness: Anyone who believes our government could have successfully
planned 9/11 is not only giving them too much credit, but they're also
insane. Do you agree or disagree?" Oops, Mr. Glen. The results as I work
this column: I agree: 2,279. I disagree: 7,045. It would appear Beck's own
audience doesn't even agree with him.
Wait, it gets better. On his show
October 22, 2007, he said:

"Anybody who thinks that 9/11 was carried out by the government isn't
a truther. They're idiots....These truthers are exactly the kind of people
who want to rock this nation's foundation, tear us apart and plant the seeds
of dissatisfaction in all of us..
..Oh, no, don't get me wrong, I think they
do believe it, which is why I believe these guys are dangerous. I believe
these guys are anarchists that are looking to tear us apart. I mean, this
is -- this is the kind of group that a Timothy McVeigh would come from."

According to all these high paid "experts" on "mainstream" and cable
network television, anyone who has reasonable questions about what really
happened on 911 is not only outside the "mainstream" of society, but would
have been an advocate of Timothy McVeigh. Here's just a few of these
"fringe" wackos so maligned by the aforementioned:


Bob McIlvaine, father of Robert McIlvaine, Assistant Vice President,
Merrill Lynch, WTC North Tower, 106th floor. Interview by Evan Solomon, CBC
News 8/30/06: Bob McIlvaine: "I believe 100% that the U.S. orchestrated 9/11
with the help of other agencies around the world.
But my blame goes to the
United States because it happened in the U.S. There's people within the U.S.
that knew it happened, that planned this to happen."

Bill Doyle - father of Joseph Doyle, Cantor Fitzgerald, WTC North
Tower. Article 8/6/05: "I honestly don't believe the government story.
During another interview, Doyle said: The 9/11 Commission is probably the
worst representation of the 9/11 Families or for that matter all the
American public because it's a sham. It really is.... We had tons of
different questions that we asked them to ask. They wouldn't do it. And the
continuing cover-up is just beyond belief..
. There's just such a continuing
coverup. And why don't we just let the information about 9/11 be known? And
then maybe this conspiracy type of thing would go away, but it's never going
to go away or I don't think it can go away because they were complicit..."

Michelle Little, sister of Firefighter David M. Weiss, FDNY, Rescue
Company 1, Midtown Manhattan, lost his life trying to rescue others from the
World Trade Center the day of the attacks. Press Conference, National Press
Club 9/12/06: "I am here today to call for the facts of September 11, 2001
to be released to the American public. ... The time is now to call upon all
the Americans to lobby local media to cover this story and to pressure
members of Congress to support legislation by reopening this investigation.
We must hold those involved accountable for this atrocious tragedy. My
brother, David, and ten brothers from his unit were murdered on 9/11. For
them and for all of our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and
uncles that died that day, it is imperative for their lives to know the
truth."

Lt. Col. Shelton F. Lankford, U.S. Marine Corps. Retired U.S. Marine
Corps fighter pilot with over 300 combat missions flown. 20-year Marine
Corps career. "This isn't about party, it isn't about Bush Bashing. It's
about our country, our constitution, and our future. ... Your countrymen
have been murdered and the more you delve into it the more it looks as
though they were murdered by our government, who used it as an excuse to
murder other people thousands of miles away. If you ridicule others who have
sincere doubts and who know factual information that directly contradicts
the official report and who want explanations from those who hold the keys
to our government, and have motive, means, and opportunity to pull off a
9/11, but you are too lazy or fearful to check into the facts yourself, what
does that make you?"


Barry Zelman, brother of Kenneth Zelman, Oracle Corp., on assignment
at Marsh & McLennan, WTC North Tower, 99th floor. Speech given at The
Citizens' Commission on 9-11, 9/9/04: "I just embrace people that understand
that four airplanes an hour and half between the first impact and the second
impact with zero military response in the United States. It didn't happen
that way. It couldn't have happened that way. You're talking about the most
intelligent agencies that we have on the face of the earth. State of the art
agencies ... And there was zero military response?
...It's very transparent
that our own president did not want to investigate this tragedy. And I'm
standing before you today for one reason. The only thing that I can give my
brother is the truth. That's it."

Donna Marsh O'Connor, mother of Vanessa Lang Langer, Regus Business
Center, WTC South Tower. Press Conference, National Press Club 9/12/06:
"This government has made me a victim of conspiracy theories because they
haven't answered fully, or allowed anyone to ask the true questions of
September 11th. And that's what I'm asking from you [members of the media]
today; for exposure. We are not crazy. We have questions. We demand answers
...We're asking for a new investigation into the events of September 11th

and this time a truly bipartisan, global--with families invested from the
beginning, middle and though out the end."


Those Americans are just a tiny number of not only family members, but
fire fighters, first responders, professionals such as engineers, pilots,
former military, aviation experts and demolitions experts from every walk of
life, every race, religions and different political parties. Are they all
part of a fringe element out of their minds by asking questions? How about
seven veteran CIA personnel who call the official version of 911 a joke,
monstrous lies and a cover up? You can read the statements of 190 Americans
who ARE mainstream folks and this includes the spontaneous statements of
fire fighters who heard bombs go off in the underground (basement) of the
World Trade Towers by clicking here.


Are we to believe that thousands of Americans who have read the 911
(Omission) Commission Report and family members who have been intimately
involved in the farce called an "official investigation" are all Bush
haters? That they are all nuts, wackos, the "fringe of society" and
advocates of Timothy McVeigh? According to Dan Abrams, Bill O'Reilly, Sean
Hannity, Alan Colmes, Glen Beck, John Gibson and others, they are. Without a
doubt a whole cottage industry has blossomed over 911 and a great deal of it
is simply trash, misleading, disinformation and some of it sickening, i.e.,
on Flight 93: "Find da plane, da plane!" like it's some sort of game. How
insulting to the loved ones who lost someone on Flight 93.

As someone who has spent a substantial amount of time, including a
cross country trip to Pennsylvania to look into Flight 93, it's been
difficult to separate credible research from those profiting from 911. On my
web site is an index of all my 911 columns; see link section below. I have
never stated that Bush knew in advance or planned 911. However, I do believe
that Dick Cheney and Rudy Julie Annie must be hauled in front of a real
grand jury. If you read, Crossing the Rubicon, by Mike Ruppert, you will
understand why I take this position. You don't have to agree with Ruppert's
assessment on peak oil because there are strong advocates for both sides of
that argument and so much conflicting information and statistics. But, his
research about that day, backed up by footnotes for his sources - especially
the military exercises - is critically important.

A new slide show is now available for viewing for free on the
Internet. As you'll see on slide one, Richard Gage leads the way. Gage is a
member of the American Institute of Architects. There are 318 slides in this
presentation. This slide presentation is endorsed by dozens of others in his
profession (list on slides 3 & 4) demanding a real investigation. Are they
ALL Bush haters?
The fringe element of society? This slide show contains a
few film clips from what I believe is far and away the best presentation on
the twin towers and aspects of what really happened that day: 911 Mysteries
Demolitions. You can watch the parts here and I strongly recommend every
American with a computer take the time to watch this unbiased presentation.
I know time is an issue for everyone, but the weekend is coming. Please book
mark this column and take the time to watch 911 Mysteries Demolitions and
Richard Gage's 9/11: Re-examining the 3 WTC High-rise Building "Collapses"
slide show.

See this picture of the Murrah Building in OKC? That building was
blown from the inside out. Anyone with two eyes can see this building was
NOT blown up by a "truck bomb" parked 50' away from the front doors. The
guilty are still walking around free, protected by the U.S. Government (U.S.
Department of Justice, FBI and elected public officials). When you view
Gage's slide show, remember OKC because it's the same scenario: The Murrah
building was not blown from the outside and the twin towers did not fall
from fire weakening steel. For those who believe the bilge published by
Popular Mechanics on 911, I submit to you than once you view 911 Mysteries
and Gage's slide presentation, you will see for yourself that a "mainstream"
publication put their name and repuation on biased trash.

Besides the family members, do people really think individuals like
Gage have nothing better to do with their time than put together a
professional slide show on a complicated issue like this? Because they're
all Bush haters? Because they have no life and "need" to believe some
conspiracy theory? Let YOUR eyes be the judge of what is real and what is a
lie. Every piece of draconian legislation nullifying the Bill of Rights and
the unconstitutional invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are a result of 911.

Thousands of these family members and professionals have signed petitions
for a real, unbiased investigation. Despite the old smear tactics from the
"mainstream" media anchors mentioned above, millions of Americans do not
believe the fairy tale told by the U.S. government and its minions who work
for paychecks instead of the truth.

High paid mouthpieces like Bill O'Reilly continue to chant that to
question 911 is hurtful to the families and that family members who lost
loved ones that day are insulted by anyone asking reasonable questions. I
will leave you with these words from two people Glen Beck considers a menace
to society:


Rosemary Cain, mother of Firefighter George C. Cain, Ladder Company 7,
Manhattan, FDNY. "It is our right to know, as the families of those who paid
the highest price. We demand to stop the lies so they can rest in peace. The
truth must be known. They did not die in vain!"


Daniel Wallace (1984 - 2007), son of Lt. Robert Wallace, Engine 205,
Ladder 118, FDNY. Speech 12/3/06: "Ever since that day, I believed the
official story for all about 2 minutes. I always had my questions. My family
had their questions. The government sent us the 9/11 Commission or I should
say omissions, really. They sent us that. I read the whole thing. As I'm
reading the whole thing; it was just incredible; the lies in this book... It
hurt me to read this book....


"The truth: to actually be out there knowing that I'm fighting for
something that's right and something that's American. That's the American
way. ... My father was a true patriot and I will follow in his footsteps.
I'm gonna try so hard. I'm gonna try to the death of me to get him justice.
Not only him, but the three thousand others that died, too. ... My father
was a patriot. I'm a patriot and everybody in this room that believes in
truth and wants to find justice is a patriot. Because this is America. It is
of the people; for the people; and by the people. And that's the America I
know and that's the America that I'm gonna defend, no matter what."

thanx sponge, great post ...

what ive concluded is either people are too lazy to really investigate or their own mind has a fail/safe filter for the truth bc they must protect their fragile belief system that man is inherently good ... which is fine, i know a lot of people like that ... if 50% of pop. thinks it stinks with all the media shell games, then just think how many would believe if they had 1/50th of the exposures of what really went down

laughable but tragic coincidences

London Underground Exercises: Peter Power Responds

Jon Rappoport | July 13 2005


A couple of days ago, I reprinted an excerpt from an article written by Alex Jones and Paul Watson, and posted at prisonplanet.com.

This article highlighted and analyzed an interview (July7) on BBC Radio 5, the Drive show. The man interviewed, Peter Power, is a consultant for a firm, Visor Consultants. Visor does much security work on contract. Power stated that his, yes, mock terror drills were taking place at several of the sames times and places as the actual bombings, and his people suddenly realized it as they were doing their mock work on the morning of the bombings.

The implications of Power's statements were dazzling, to say the least, and since then I have received queries about whether this radio interview really took place. I can understand people's shock and doubt, because the import of Power's remarks opens up a whole new direction in the research of the bombing attack.

As Jones and Watson pointed out in their article, the mock-drill- versus-real-event mirrored what happened in the US on 9/11, when mock air attacks were being conducted as the real thing took place.

I decided to try to contact Peter Power. I sent an email to Visor consultants, and I received an answer. It comes from Mr. Power, although, as you'll see, it is a standard message that is being sent out by him to all the people who are flooding his email box with questions.

"Thank you for your message. Given the volume of emails about events on 7 July and a commonly expressed misguided belief that our exercise revealed prescient behaviour, or was somehow a conspiracy (noting that several websites interpreted our work that day in an inaccurate / naive / ignorant / hostile manner) it has been decided to issue a single email response as follows: It is confirmed that a short number of 'walk through' scenarios planed [sic] well in advance had commenced that morning for a private company in London (as part of a wider project that remains confidential) and that two scenarios related directly to terrorist bombs at the same time as the ones that actually detonated with such tragic results. One scenario in particular, was very similar to real time events.

"However, anyone with knowledge about such ongoing threats to our capital city will be aware that (a) the emergency services have already practiced several of their own exercises based on bombs in the underground system (also reported by the main news channels) and (b) a few months ago the BBC broadcast a similar documentary on the same theme, although with much worse consequences [??]. It is hardly surprising therefore, that we chose a feasible scenario - but the timing and script was nonetheless, a little disconcerting.

"In short, our exercise (which involved just a few people as crisis managers actually responding to a simulated series of activities involving, on paper, 1000 staff) quickly became the real thing and the players that morning responded very well indeed to the sudden reality of events.

"Beyond this no further comment will be made and based on the extraordinary number of messages from ill informed people, no replies will henceforth be given to anyone unable to demonstrate a bona fide reason for asking (e.g. accredited journalist / academic).

Peter Power"

If you go back and read what Power said to host Allen in his BBC interview, Power was a lot more shocked himself at the time.

Obviously, Power, in his email, is trying to downplay the significance of the mock-versus-real events.

It's clear that the simultaneous staging of mock drills and the emergence of real events in the same times and places could confuse law enforcement, delay response, and also, as Jones/Watson point out, create a possible cover story for persons in the midst of planting real bombs ("I'm part of an exercise.").

I have received and seen several reports from people who were in and about in London as the bombings were taking place. One person, unnamed, states that he saw underground stations along one line shut down by many police BEFORE the bombings occurred. Another observer notes that additional bombs were reported by the press, early on, as DIFFUSED before they went off. And as I've written, the story of how many bombs there were and when they went off was changed several times in press reports---7-8 explosions were reduced to 4.

Bombs diffused before the explosions began (unless these were mock bombs---see how a cover story could work?)) implies foreknowledge of some kind on the part of law enforcement, and of course we have several press stories that indicate the Israeli embassy in London (but no one else?) was actually warned before the first explosion.

Visor consultants has probably received emails accusing them of being in on a bomb plot. Whereas, it would be easy for the ops managers of the real thing to USE the Visor mock drills as a distraction/cover for a short time that morning.

In any case, it will take a great deal more digging to sort out who was using whom.

Note that most of what is in this article has received NO follow-up from the mainstream press. If you were a reporter in London, wouldn't you, for example, jump in with both feet and talk to Peter Power in depth and find out exactly how his drills interacted with the real thing?

From Power's statements so far, it is not entirely clear to me whether he is denying that any of Visor's people were actually at bomb scenes on 7/7. He claims that the mock drills were largely a paper exercise. But the specifics are blurry.

cutting it close

cutting it close

atta took a big chance taking a commuter plane from portland, maine at last second to catch his Logan fictional seat on flight 11:shrug: why would anyone do this, jeopardize his mission. and even more bizarre why would he drive a rental from boston to portland the night before. plus he said in arabic '****, god,' only days earlier in a florida restaurant. lap it up, those living on da Nile.

"There's a real question there because he took a tremendous risk in going to Portland the night before and then having to catch a commuter flight to Boston,? said Roger Cressey, who was director of transnational threats for President Bush's National Security Council. ?Given the vagaries of traveling on the East Coast, (it was a) tremendous risk to take. And so, we still don't know what he was doing there."

On Sept. 10, 2001, Atta picked up another 9/11 terrorist, Abdul-Azzia Al-Omari, at the Milner Hotel in Boston. They drove a rented Nissan to Portland, Maine, and arrived at the Comfort Inn Hotel at 5:43 p.m.

At the time, Tyler Drumhiller was a top official at the CIA, responsible for all European Operations.

"Might have just been doing surveillance detection just to see if somebody might have been following him up in that area,? Drumhiller said. ?It's hard to tell."

Financial records and bank video show Atta and Al-Omari made two ATM withdrawals in Portland, and the men were reportedly spotted at an area Wal-Mart, as well as in the parking lot of a Pizza Hut restaurant.

On the morning of 9/11, Atta and Al-Omari drove to Portland International Jetport and boarded a 6 a.m. commuter flight to Boston's Logan International Airport.

"It is possible that he calculated that security would be less stringent in Portland, Maine, than it would be in Boston,? said terrorism expert Steve Emerson.

Another theory is that the 9/11 ringleader was concerned about a last-minute weather glitch or traffic jam in Boston.

DAY OF INFAMY 2001

Airline denied Atta
paradise wedding suit
At last minute, American turned away luggage containing cologne, gold Koran



WASHINGTON ? The clothing found in one of hijacking ringleader Mohamed Atta's bags wasn't a pilots' uniform, as first reported, but his paradise wedding suit, says an American Airlines employee who was with authorities when they first opened his luggage.


Mohamed el Amir Atta

Alongside the navy suit ? which was eerily laid out as if Atta were in it, with a sapphire-blue necktie looped under a crisp dress-shirt collar and neatly knotted ? was a bottle of cologne. At the foot of the bag, which had been locked, was a fancy leather-bound Koran painted gold.

"It was like opening a casket," the American employee said in an exclusive WorldNetDaily interview.

Because of an American policy instated just before Sept. 11 to curb baggage-related flight delays, Atta's two checked bags ? which had been held up from an earlier flight ? were left behind in Boston, says the employee, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal from the Dallas-based carrier, which continues to gag all employees from talking about the Sept. 11 hijackings. Two of the hijacked flights were American.

As it happens, Atta was the only passenger among the 81 aboard American Flight 11 whose luggage didn't make the flight, American sources confirm. Atta is thought to have piloted the Boeing 767, loaded with some 16,000 gallons of fuel, into the first World Trade Center tower a year ago today.

As a result, the 33-year-old Egyptian native, who was single, was denied his ceremonial outfit with which he apparently expected to enter the Muslim version of Heaven and join in "marriage" the "women of paradise ... dressed in their most beautiful clothing," as a five-page letter found in his other bag envisioned it.

According to the Koran, Muslims' sacred book, the afterworld is more a physical than metaphysical place, filled with sensuous earthly pleasures. Martyrdom, or dying in the cause of Allah, is the shortest path to get there.

In preparation for martrydom, ablution.

"Shave excess hair from the body and wear cologne. Shower," advises the letter, which was handwritten in Arabic and later translated by the FBI (it's still not clear if Atta penned the letter himself). "Do not leave your apartment unless you have performed ablution."

The clothing found in Atta's bag has previously been described as a pilots' uniform.

But there were no markings or any other signs that indicated so, the American employee says.

"It was a suit," he said. "It was not a pilot's uniform."

The bag with the clothing, moreover, included only personal items, whereas the other bag contained utility items, such as navigational tools and even a large serrated knife.

"The personal stuff was by itself," he said. "The suit on the top, and the Koran in the gold leather case, with Arabic writing, at the bottom. And on the side was the cologne. Everything was perfectly placed."

He adds that the suit was neatly folded, and the tie was tied snug to the collar button.

He says as soon as he and others gathered at Logan International Airport saw the suit and other items arranged as they were in the suitcase, it became clear to them that Atta had no plans on coming back to this world.

"All the pieces came together when we saw that suit," he said. "This was his suitcase he thought he was going to get into paradise with."

The other bag, which had also been locked, contained, among other things:


A videotape of the Boeing 757 aircraft.

A flight operating manual for the Boeing 757, which has the same cockpit as the 767.

An Arab-English dictionary.

A packet of papers which included the 5-page letter, as well as Atta's last will and testament, which was dated April 11, 1996, and also written in Arabic.

A chart-plotting ruler.

A manual slide-rule device called an "E6B," but more commonly known as a flight "computer," which pilots use to measure fuel consumption, weight and balance and other things.

A folding-blade knife with finger grips on the handle.
One suitcase had Atta's earthly belongings, including many things he used or wanted to use in his mass-murdering plot, while the other contained his spiritual requirements to enter paradise.

"It was clear to us he did not want to check those bags," the American employee said.

Indeed, Atta intended to carry on all three of the bags he initially brought with him to Portland International Jetport in Maine earlier that morning, sources there say.

But Atta was forced to check his two larger bags, described as soft-sided with roller boards, because the 19-seat commuter plane he flew to Boston allows passengers just one carry-on bag each, says a US Airways Express employee who works at the ticket counter where Atta checked in.

The two bags were tagged for final destination to Los Angeles International Airport, which is where Flight 11 had been bound.

Both Atta and his traveling companion and fellow hijacker, Abdulaziz Alomari, boarded US Airways Express Flight 5930 with one carry-on each.

Their carry-ons also contained papers, says a passenger who was seated two rows in front of Atta on the shuttle flight.

Atta and Alomari pass through security at Portland International Jetport in Maine

Roger Quirion of Winslow, Maine, says he observed the two, who he says were "joined at the hip," while waiting at the gate.

"They were sitting together, acting very serious. They were going through papers, something from their carry-on," Quirion told WorldNetDaily.

"It struck me as though they were preparing for some type of meeting," he added. "I thought they were business travelers."

When Atta arrived at Logan's Terminal B from Portland, little did he know that US Airways was slow in transferring his bags from the commuter jet to the American baggage dock.

They arrived before takeoff ? but after American's just-imposed cut-off time for late baggage. The new rule refused any bags delivered within 10 minutes of the flight's scheduled take-off. Atta's came within several minutes.

"His bags, which were transferred rampside, were transferred late by US Airways Express," the American employee said.

As soon as the bags were dropped off at American's loading dock, a ground-crew worker checked the tag, put them on a cart and drove them out to the 767 getting ready to taxi to the runway.

But he got a "thumbs down" by the crew that loads the bags, the employee said.

"It was about three minutes before departure," he said. "They had it locked up, and it was ready to go."

The bags were brought back and tagged for rerouting to the 11 a.m. flight to LAX, he says.

When it became clear that Flight 11 had been hijacked, the crew chief called the Massachusetts State Police, which dispatched a state trooper to the baggage rerouting area with a bomb-sniffing dog, says the American source, who assisted the trooper and other authorities.

After the dog cleared the bags for explosives, the trooper had the small locks on Atta's bags cut off and the bags opened.

Then the FBI got involved.

more atta garbage--fact checkers flunk

more atta garbage--fact checkers flunk

What Muslim would write: 'The time of fun and waste is gone'?
Robert Fisk



Fearful, chilling, grot-esque ? but also very, very odd. If the handwritten, five-page document which the FBI says it found in the baggage of Mohamed Atta, the suicide bomber from Egypt, is genuine, then the men who murdered more than 7,000 innocent people believed in a very exclusive version of Islam ? or were surprisingly unfamiliar with their religion.

"The time of Fun and waste is gone,'' Atta, or one of his associates, is reported to have written in the note. "Be optimistic ... Check all your items ? your bag, your clothes, your knives, your will, your IDs, your passport ... In the morning, try to pray the morning prayer with an open heart.''

Part theological, part mission statement, the document ? extracts from which were published in The Washington Post yesterday ? raises more questions than it answers.

Under the heading of "Last Night'' ? presumably the night of 10 September ? the writer tells his fellow hijackers to "remind yourself that in this night you will face many challenges. But you have to face them and understand it 100 per cent ... Obey God, his messenger, and don't fight among yourself [sic] where [sic] you become weak ... Everybody hates death, fears death ..."

The document begins with the words: "In the name of God, the most merciful, the most compassionate ... In the name of God, of myself, and of my family.''

The problem is that no Muslim ? however ill-taught ? would include his family in such a prayer. Indeed, he would mention the Prophet Mohamed immediately after he mentioned God in the first line. Lebanese and Palestinian suicide bombers have never been known to refer to "the time of fun and waste'' ? because a true Muslim would not have "wasted'' his time and would regard pleasure as a reward of the after-life.

And what Muslim would urge his fellow believers to recite the morning prayer ? and then go on to quote from it? A devout Muslim would not need to be reminded of his duty to say the first of the five prayers of the day ? and would certainly not need to be reminded of the text. It is as if a Christian, urging his followers to recite the Lord's Prayer, felt it necessary to read the whole prayer in case they didn't remember it.

American scholars have already raised questions about the use of "100 per cent'' ? hardly a theological term to be found in a religious exhortation ? and the use of the word "optimistic'' with reference to the Prophet is a decidedly modern word.

However, the full and original Arabic text has not been released by the FBI. The translation, as it stands, suggests an almost Christian view of what the hijackers might have felt ? asking to be forgiven their sins, explaining that fear of death is natural, that "a believer is always plagued with problems''.

A Muslim is encouraged not to fear death ? it is, after all, the moment when he or she believes they will start a new life ? and a believer in the Islamic world is one who is certain of his path, not "plagued with problems''.

There are no references to any of Osama bin Laden's demands ? for an American withdrawal from the Gulf, an end to Israeli occupation, the overthrow of pro-American Arab regimes ? nor any narrative context for the atrocities about to be committed. If the men had an aspiration ? and if the document is above suspicion ? then they were sending their message direct to their God.

The prayer/instructions may have been distributed to other hijackers before the massacres occurred ? The Washington Post says the FBI found another copy of "essentially the same document'' in the wreckage of the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania. No text of this document has been released.

In the past, CIA translators have turned out to be Lebanese Maronite Christians whose understanding of Islam and its prayers may have led to serious textual errors. Could this be to blame for the weird references in the note found in Atta's baggage? Or is there something more mysterious about the background of those who committed a crime against humanity in New York and Washington, just over two weeks ago?

From the start, the hole in the story has been the reported behaviour of the hijackers. Atta was said to have been a near-alcoholic, while Ziad Jarrahi, the alleged Lebanese hijacker of the plane which crashed in Pennsylvania, had a Turkish girlfriend in Hamburg and enjoyed nightclubs and drinking. Is this why the published text refers to the "forgiveness'' of sin?

The final instruction, "to make sure that you are clean, your clothes are clean, including your shoes,'' may have been intended as a call to purify a "martyr" before death. Equally, it may reflect the thoughts of a truly eccentric ? and wicked ? mind.

The document found in Atta's baggage ends with a heading: "When you enter the plane". It then urges the hijackers to recite: "Oh God, open all doors for me ... I am asking for your help. I am asking you for forgiveness. I am asking you to lighten my way. I am asking you to lift the burden I feel ...''

Was this an attempt to smother latent feelings of compassion towards the passengers on the hijacked planes ? who included children among them ? or towards the thousands who would die when the aircraft crashed? Did the 19 suicide bombers say these words to themselves in their last moments?

Or didn't they need to.

Hey, Garden!

You ever see the video of Clinton when asked whether he'd been involved with Miss Lewinsky?

Love to see this debate PT. Heck of an idea that would never see the light of day. The neocon hacks who usually only have one comeback and will stay on that forever would just get drilled with so many questions being fired their way. Maher is coming on in 12 minutes. im kinda wondering where he is gonna go tonight. I have a hunch that he may talk about this tonight and give it a fair chance or just ignore it all together. Got to see who got to him. I wonder if there is an plants in the audience tonight. Stay tuned.

The government won't make a real investigation, just as its shills won't allow real debate. You can fool most of the people most of the time, and the ones you can't, you can marginalize or murder.

The deception is so brazen that it's wrong to call it deception. No planes scrambled? War games going on at the time of the attack? - in both U.S. and Britain? Israelis arrested with boxcutters, taping the WTC demolitions while dancing and laughing? The Fox report on this being Memory-Holed?

ARE YOU FKING KIDDING ME?

There is not one thing the government has said about "9/11" -- itself a propaganda term -- that is on the up and up.

In fact, the government is all but admitting what it's doing, counting on a dumbed-down, overentertained, take-everything-at-face-value public to go along.

Support the government or you're a traitor. That's what we hear now from these "conservative" Jews making our policies. Back in the sixties these "conservatives" were communists, David Horowitz being the prime example. It's all a big joke, and real Americans are being played for fools by O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Congress and the Jews/Zionists/Israelis who own them.

Don't be fooled by the lefties, either. This war isn't about oil. We're going to spend 2 trillion dollars on it. We could have simply purchased the oil if it were about oil.

The war was about 1) getting rid of Saddam; 2) reordering the Middle East to Israel's advantage. The war has only failed from the American perspective. It has succeeded from the POV of its fomentors, the Zionists. They got rid of Saddam. And dispersed Iraq's army. And messed up the Iraqi state. Now they work the same lines to the same malign end against Iran.

Why should the Jews of Israel put their kosher asses on the line when there are tens of millions of sapsucker American Christians willing to die for them?

OK......lets play devils advocate and say you are right about the Jews of Isreal...........Can you explain to me how they came to have so much power (and wealth)...........

is this something that has been going on for a long long time 200 years or a shorter period (60 years)..............

Why do so many prominent Jewish people change their last name???

You have to have more sense that this..........youre telling me its more dangerous to send rescue helicopters (shit these guys are trained for I might add)on top of a building not knowing what was going to happen next than it is to send people back to their offices and not evacuate the building............you make absolutely not sense with this logic........on one hand you say its to dangerous to rescue people from the top of the building but not at the bottom (firefighters and policeman going in)...........
You need to either WAKE THE F**K UP or really think about what you are saying before you ask me if I am serious...........

Is it that you think the firefghters and policemans lives are not as valuable as military rescue mission personnel...........:nono:
