First, it is clear the US authorities did little or nothing to pre-empt the events of 9/11. It is known that at least 11 countries provided advance warning to the US of the 9/11 attacks. Two senior Mossad experts were sent to Washington in August 2001 to alert the CIA and FBI to a cell of 200 terrorists said to be preparing a big operation (Daily Telegraph, September 16 2001). The list they provided included the names of four of the 9/11 hijackers, none of whom was arrested.

It had been known as early as 1996 that there were plans to hit Washington targets with aeroplanes. Then in 1999 a US national intelligence council report noted that "al-Qaida suicide bombers could crash-land an aircraft packed with high explosives into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the CIA, or the White House".

Fifteen of the 9/11 hijackers obtained their visas in Saudi Arabia. Michael Springman, the former head of the American visa bureau in Jeddah, has stated that since 1987 the CIA had been illicitly issuing visas to unqualified applicants from the Middle East and bringing them to the US for training in terrorism for the Afghan war in collaboration with Bin Laden (BBC, November 6 2001). It seems this operation continued after the Afghan war for other purposes. It is also reported that five of the hijackers received training at secure US military installations in the 1990s (Newsweek, September 15 2001).


Whoa!, this story is raging across Europe but not one story about it in the US press.. Why is that?

Let me tell you a secret of the internet:

When you mouseover a link, look at the bottem of your browser, it will tell you the actual address.  And it only pops up one ad, and is the source for your information, anyway.

Not it isn't.  It's the Guardian.  It says so right on the link, and you don't even have to read it at bottom of the IE windows.

The guy who wrote that is an idiot and I hope he commits suicide as well. However it would be my honor to torture and kill him.

I don't know if the war on terrorism is bogus other than the fact they'll never be able to prove they've won it.

I think we win everyday that passes that we do not experience another 9/11 or worse on our soil

The US was not the only country to fight against Germany in WWII. Nor was it the first to join the fight.
