If the FBI doesn't think Bin Laden was behind Sept. 11...
then who are they going after?

<<SNIP>>

Why is there no reference to the attacks on September 11?

1. You know, ive posted and asked this SAME question before
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 10:03 AM by MadAsHellNewYorker
and gotten almost no response. I did get one logical response that he has yet to be indicited. I mean, if the govt wasn't so quick to blame him, I guess that makes sense...:eyes:

9. I know
this question has been asked many times. And it will continue to be asked, as nothing has been logical about the 9/11 investigation.

2. ATTACK ON A FEDERAL FACILITY RESULTING IN DEATH? (I guess)
But its wierd that its not in the rest of the bulletin. If they had absolutely no clue of who was behind 9/11 everything would make a lot more sense.

5. that could go for the pentagon, but I think it reefers to the
Embassy Bombings in Africa. The WTC wasn't a federal facility...

6. No, I think that concerned embassy bombings in Saudi Arabia or the Cole
Those he was charged for. He's never been charged with being involved with the attacks on September 11th, 2001.

3. Nobody has ever built a criminal case against bin Laden for Sept. 11th
You'd think they could have by now, but nada.

The closest they've come in this country is to charge Moussaoui as the '20th hijacker', but they know he didn't actually do anything material, since he'd been in jail for months by 9/11. They are charging that he somehow knew about it ahead of time. That case has since run up on the rocks anyway.

I think the Germans charged someone with a conspiracy charge related to 9/11, but I think they got off because the US wouldn't cooperate with the German courts on releasing evidence.

So who's wearing the tinfoil NOW? Which conspiracy theory are you going to believe -- the government's conspiracy theory or someone else's?

10. hoHO! Now that raises some interesting questions!
But that's all there are, endless questions. I have faith, that some fine day in the future, I will be able to look at all this without 'going what the F**K?'

11. Bush was going to come out with the proof OBL did it. But then
security was to big as issue and he never did. Then Blair said he would come out with the proof, but as I remember what he said, it wasn't proof just more of the same "we know it was OBL". But I had not realize he is not up for 9-11 arrest. Amazing. Especially since the head of the FBI said he had no idea who was on the planes.

Al-Zawahiri is apparently off the hook, too.

And I think Federal facility is referring to the embassy bombings

16. It's simple.
The FBI poster is a response to criminal acts.

The WTC was an act of war, as Bushco so regularly reminds us, and thus is removed from criminal jurisdiction. Therefore, it is not mentioned on the updated FBI wanted poster.

Of course, if it had been treated as a criminal act, rather than a chance to go to war, he would have been captured and convicted by now, as was the leader of the 1st WTC bomb plot. But let's not go there.

20. Have they updated the hijacker names/pics yet?
How about the Anthrax killer(s)? FBI looking for them?

Very odd that the worst crime ever committed against the USA and there is no "most wanted" for the perpetrators.

Perhaps Bush is compromised by the House of Saud/House of bin Laden?

Why did we let OBL escape from Tora Bora? Lots fo questions, no answers from this administration.
