Occam's razor should be applied, at a certain point.
I thought they used Occam's razor to create
the mobius loop already???
Or is it a
jigsaw puzzle with no picture on the box???
An aide to former Clinton Justice Department official
Jamie Gorelick blocked the 9/11 Commission from
hearing testimony about the findings of the elite
Able Danger military intelligence team who had
identified Atta and three more of the 9/11
highjackers over a year before 9-11-2001 but had
not been able pass the information to the FBI
because of Justice Department policy under Janet
Reno.
"It was Dieter Snell who did not brief the 9/11
Commission. The 9/11 Commissioners were never
briefed on Able Danger." Congressman Curt Weldon
The same team had warned of the attack on the
USS Cole and had recommended she not enter the
Yemeni port.
And unless Sandy Burglar makes a death bed
confession, we will never know what documents
he destroyed.
Home
On January 5, 1995, a decision was made by
Secretary of State Warren Christopher and
supported by Deputy A.G. Gorelick, that arguably
ranks as one of the most profound intelligence
errors committed by any U.S. official in the years
leading up to 9/11.
............Nonetheless, the very next day, Gorelick
serving in Janet Renos absence as acting
attorney generalsent an expedite letter in
support of Christophers deportation request.
Its difficult to fathom how it could have been in
the interests of the United States to allow the
deportation of Osama bin Ladens brother-in-law;
a man the State Department had just named as
a terrorist.
Khalifa also filed a civil suit to get back the
contents of his luggage, which included the
coveted PDA and other computer files.
Astonishingly, the Feds complied. On March 23rd,
1995, in a response to Khalifas motion for return of
property and an order unsealing his search warrant,
assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen R. Freccero stated
that The United States has no objection to the
unsealing of the search warrant [and] the return of
the property seized. So the treasure trove of al
Qaeda-related intelligence went back to MJK.
Ironically after his extradition, Khalifa landed in
Saudi Arabia where he ran a seafood restaurant in
Jeddah for several years. Arrested after 9/11 by
the Saudis, he was later freed and openly
condemned his billionaire brother-in-law bin Laden
criticism for which he may have paid dearly. On
January 31st, 2007 an armed group of some 20 men
attacked his house in Madagascar and murdered
him; stealing his belongings and any trace that may
have remained of his links to the Manila cell behind
the 9/11 plot.
In this memo, (the Gorelick wall) written two
months after her letter acquiescing to Khalifas
deportation, Gorelick issued that Justice
Department directive creating the infamous wall,
instructing FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors to
separate past criminal investigations, including the
bombing of the World Trade Center and the
indicted case of United States v. Rahman, et al.
from Foreign Counter Intelligence (FCI)
investigations of future terrorist acts.
In effect, Gorelick was ordering the breakup the
Justice Departments war on terror into two
separate camps.
(Of course Bush's AG Ashcroft could have ended
that policy but didn't, he renewed it)
In the entire 604-page authorized edition of The
9/11 Commission Report, there isnt a word about
Gorelicks role in supporting the exit of Mohammed
Jamal Khalifa, or about the wall memotwo of the
most damaging moves the United States justice
system took on the road to 9/11.

------------------------------------------
Cover Up: What the Government Is Still Hiding About the War on Terror.
The two big questions:
1) Why did the U.S. Justice Department ignore
probative evidence from the Philippines National
Police (PNP) in 1995 that Ramzi Yousef, the original
World Trade Center bomber, had conspired with his
uncle Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (KSM) as early as
1994 to set in motion the plot that culminated on
9/11?
In the spring of 1995, Col. Rodolfo B. Mendoza, a
leading PNP investigator who had interrogated
Yousef's lifelong friend and co-conspirator, Abdul
Hakim Murad, gave the U.S. Embassy in Manila
evidence that Yousef and KSM already had chosen
had six targets: the WTC, The Pentagon, CIA HQ
at Langley, VA, The Sears Tower in Chicago, the
Transamerica Tower in San Francisco and an
unnamed nuclear facility.
Col. Mendoza also had evidence that up to 10
Islamic radicals were then training in U.S. flight
schools.
This was 1995.
Col. Mendoza, who was the Richard Clarke of The
Philippines, when it came to his knowledge of
Islamic radicalism, was very clear with the U.S.
government and warned our officials in in the spring
of 1995 of that PRECISE plot which unfolded six
years later.
The Justice Department seemingly failed to pursued
this extraordinary warning.
2) The second question left unanswered,........was
why did the FBI and Justice Dept. treat the hunt
for KSM so differently than the public hunt for his
nephew -- which had successfully brought Yousef
to ground?
The second half of Cover Up is a painstaking
analysis of the 9/11 Commission and it's
effective whitewash. I go into great detail
with evidence of how;
-the Commission was hopelessly skewed on both
the right and the left;
-how the staff was riddled with conflicts of interest
-- almost half of the staff members were alumni of
the very intelligence agencies they were asked to
judge;
-how both Democrats and Republicans, cherry
picked evidence and limited the scope of the
investigation to 1998 forward in order -- I believe
-- to ignore the culpability of the FBI, CIA and
other agencies for failing to stop Osama bin Laden's
12 year juggernaut;
-how, in effect, the fix was in on this Commission
from day one -- there was an intentional decision
to limit the damage across three presidential
administrations and eliminate ANY accountability or
blame for what I call the
biggest
intelligence failure since The Trojan Horse.
They decided to bury the treasure trove of al
Qaeda intelligence which Scarpa Jr. had risked his
life to get.
Despite not a single homicide conviction, he was
sentenced to 40 years for RICO violations. Compare
this to Sammy The Bull Gravano who got just 5
years after killing 19 people.
The Feds ended up calling Greg Jr.'s intel from
Yousef -- material with details that NO WISEGUY
ever could have known -- a "hoax" and "a scam."
They allowed a Supervisory Special Agent in the
New York office who had been involved in a corrupt
relationship with Greg's father to retire with a full
pension after he had taken the Fifth and answered
"I don't recall" 44 times following a grant of
immunity.
.....back in the fall of 1996, the fix was in and a
series of high level DOJ officials of the Clinton
Justice Department went on as if it were business
as usual, sweeping under the rug, I believe, the
biggest act of al Qaeda terror prior to 9/11.
By the way in a speech last fall at Claremont,
College in California, 9/11 Commission, John
Lehman, the former Secretary of the Navy, let it
slip that intelligence indicated that Baluchistan
(Iran) is
where OBL was now hiding.
