The Evidence?

[Ken Hanly]

"Sources familiar with the investigation"? Like psychological warfare
experts or who? Ah yes we cant tell you for security reasons. Which is why
many times we cant tell you the truth either. So they intercept bin Laden's
phone calls including one that is a clear warning signal but they knew zilch
about what was coming apparently. What is this, evidence for conspiracy
theorists? Celebratory messages exchanged by al-Quaida members "suggest"
prior knowledge of the attacks. Exactly how? Clear as mud. They would surely
celebrate whether they knew of the attack or not. If some of the hijackers
were members of cells with al-Quaida members a few might have known but it
is well known that terrorist groups operate in such a way that very few know
the whole plan and each cell will have its own particular task. This is
essential to minimise the possibility of detection. I think it probable that
bin Laden may have been indirectly involved through financing and through
training some of the terrorists in Afghanistan but on the whole I think this
whole thing about bin Laden is mostly a useful tool to put a face on
terrorism.
Makes for better manipulation of public opinion etc.

Cheers, Ken Hanly

"The full range of material that is being shown to
U.S. allies is not known, but sources familiar with
the investigation have told NBC News in recent days
that investigators have:

 Learned from a foreign intelligence service that bin
Laden phoned his mother two days before the attacks to
tell her, "In two days you're going to hear big news,
and you're not going to hear from me for a while."

 Intercepted messages indicating that celebratory
messages exchanged by al-Qaida members on Sept. 11
suggest prior knowledge of the attacks.
