bin Laden says he's responsible for the 9/11 attacks but.....

Has there ever been evidence that ties him directly to the attacks? I know the pilots were Al Quaida but what evidence exists that bin Laden masterminded the whole thing?

And remember Pakistani ISI had been his paymaster in Afghanistan and it was Pakistani ISI that was paymaster for Atta/alleged hijackers.
The head of Pakistani ISI was in U.S. the week of 9/11 and had been the alleged hijackers paymaster. So there is more clear evidence of ISI involvement than bin Laden, it would seem. There is lots of other info on the ISI involvement also. The relation between bin Laden and ISI at that point wasn't clear.

But also remember that at least 7 of the alleged hijackers are known to still be alive and have objected to being on the list. But have not been officially removed. Why is that?
And the official flight lists don't appear to have the hijackers on the boarding list. From the lists that I've seen.

THE PERPLEXING PUZZLE OF THE PUBLISHED PASSENGER LISTS

and you may remember that the circumstances of the early evidence regarding the hijackers bordered on extremely strange and unlikely circumstances.

It seems no solid evidence has been made public for some reason that I'm aware of. Anyone know of any such?

There was an article on CNN where an interviewer is talking to BinLaden and he asks him about 9/11 and BinLaden denies it. I think he's just a coup and a fake boogeyman. If you've seen any Alex Jones documentaries he has talked about BinLaden working with/for the CIA and all that. You and I know that Bush could get BinLaden anytime he wanted. In the film F911 that Bandar guy was on Larry King's show and he was talking about how for a while the Saudi royal family claimed not to have any contact to BinLaden but one of BinLaden's sons had a wedding and family members showed up so it's obvious they still have contact to each other. There was also a college student in California who had his papers stolen and ID and he told the local police but never got it back. Now he's supposivley a terrorist of 9/11.

There is evidence that suggests that the video shown before the 2004 elections is a fake. The facial features are different on close inspection, and the grayness of the beard looks just the same as it did three years earlier.

Just look at the video and not just the facial features. In the past BinLaden always had a gun right next to him and two body guards at least. The video feeds were always very crackley. Wasn't he also usually outside? Why was he inside this time?

compare the pictures for yourself:

it's just one more lie we were fed to support the war. Also another reason why we should have done a more intensive investigation before going to war. This speaks volumnes that the war was indeed our "Pearl Harbor" for the war in Iraq.
