1. This article looks to try to downplay the Saudis connection in

9/11! Unfortunately Americans have a bad taste for the Saudis right now! :bounce:

They better look for some Nukes!

2. Notice how

they talk about all this information they are getting from Khalid about bin Laden's plans and all the people involved, who operated in many different countries. But they never talk about how all of this was paid for and who financed it. Guess we wouldn't want to ask Khalid about any of that, now would we?

Oh that's right, all of this stuff is supposed to be a secret. There's still an ongoing/neverending investigation and of course identities do need to be protected.

3. Liddy Dole ended Air Marshall Program & made 9/11 possible

Jimmy Carter's air Marshall program:
"Hijacker" produces a weapon and attempts hijacking;
Air Marshall draws .44special (with special loads) and blows terrorist to hell.

Terrorists are capable of long term planning.
Reagan's Secretary of Transportation:
Liddy Dole canceled the Air Marshall program.
"Armed trained federal cops riding airliners, specifically to prevent hijackings."


Ten years later Republicans were able (as a result) to run Operation Northwoods without a hitch.

An armed cop on board?
Airmarshall with a .44 special against (cia) "hijackers" armed with boxcutters?
Mention on the evening news about dead hijackers
and NO major event to justify imposition of a police state on all of US.

Without foresight and foreplanning by "America's real terrorists: the Republican right wing"
America's Reichstag fire could have not been produced and manipulated.

Yeah bush minions, tell us again how itenerant arabs,
who couldn't even fly a Cessna,
were able to control jumbo jets/ and other fairy tales!

"Pay no attention to the elephant behind that curtain!" the rightwing media lap dogs tell us.

I say pay attention!

4. LBN Rules... locking

The rules of the Latest Breaking News Forum require that when linking to a news article, the poster use the exact title of the article as their subject line.

In this case, the subject line should read "Terrorist Says 9/11 Plot Began in '96."

This story will be of interest to many LBN readers, and I hope you'll repost it with the accurate subject line.

Thanks!
