FBI Admits: No Evidence Links 'Hijackers' to 9-11
After seven months of non-stop declarations by U.S. government spokesmen that there exists solid proof tying 19 Muslim men to plotting the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, FBI Director Robert Mueller has now admitted quite the opposite.

That 19 Muslim men who have apparently disappeared have been named as the hijackers is not in doubt.

What is in doubt is whether those 19 men were actually plotting anything, either individually or together.

The amazing possibility remains that others carried out the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, using the identities of the 19 Muslims who have been assigned guilt in the tragedy.

In an April 19 speech delivered to the Common wealth Club in San Francisco, Mueller said that the purported hijackers, in his words, “left no paper trial.” The FBI director stated flatly:

Not sure how real/legitimate this "press" is, but found that interesting that it is very effectively buried from mainstream. (tinfoil firmly in hand)

2. Considering that 4-5 of these suspects...
turned up alive elsewhere after 9/11 only strengthens this argument, heard it on BBC right after 9/11, let me dig up the article.

6. Nobody believes me, but I had classes with one of the "Hijackers"

His name is Waleed(sp). I went to Embry Riddle, and that guy was in my program. I think it was either a meteorolgy class, or an aircraft performance class... they both shared the same class room.

3. But they are absolutely positive Osama bin Laden was behind it...
How?

And to those who insist that the Fat Osama confessed on video (neither of which is really the case, IMHO), how do they know he wasn't just bragging and taking credit for it? (since the whole escapade has now basically turned him into Elvis).

The Bush Administration promised the world that they would present their 'ironclad' evidence that bin Laden was behind the 9/11 attacks several years ago. To this date, and TWO invasions and occupations later, we still have NOTHING from the administration proving that bin Laden did it.

I don't know if bin Laden was involved in the attacks or not. I would have expected that the administration would at least do a little preliminary police work to determine the culprits before they invaded two countries on this pretext -- but obviously they did not. Or if they did, they never shared the conclusions with the rest of us.

5. Uh-oh...
Poking around its pages I find...

"The following article appeared in the first issue of the AFP. It gives an excellent description of what we are all about.
WE CHOOSE LIFE
and that is why we've prepared this first issue of American Free Press, brought to you by the former staff of The Spotlight, who are now the publishers."

A-and who's this Spotlight when they're at home....

I suspect this is why you're not finding this story in any real newspapers.

7. “left no paper trial.”
I seem to recall a pristine passport found on the streets that was used to connect Osama Bin Laden. Now they say there was no paper trail. As far as I know no one has ever seen any evidence that Osama Bin Laden was involved in any manner except that he admittedly Hates the US.

8. Here are some links to the transcript of the speech (which was in 2002)

The hijackers also left no paper trail. In our investigation, we have not uncovered a single piece of paper – either here in the U.S. or in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and elsewhere – that mentioned any aspect of the September 11th plot. The hijackers had no computers, no laptops, no storage media of any kind. They used hundreds of different pay phones and cell phones, often with prepaid calling cards that are extremely difficult to trace. And they made sure that all the money sent to them to fund their attacks was wired in small amounts to avoid detection.

9. According to Richard Clarke, it was BinLaden...
who had plans to attack the US, and they've been on his trail for years. Taking a left turn into Iraq to kill Hussein and devastate the innocent Iraqis, does not make America nor the world safer, when most evidence pointed to BinLaden.

And if it was BinLaden, Donald Rumsfelt is to blame. He supplied the weapons and kissy kissy to BinLaden. Also the bushes are to blame, since they have such tight ties to the rich BinLaden family.

Sorry, I just hate those stupid, greedy, unAmerican bushes.
