Breaking news - Bin Laden did 911 is 'whacky conspiracy theory'

insidejob | 07.06.2006 11:20 | Anti-militarism

Many people decry 911 sceptics on the basis that they "have no evidence" for their theories. They claim themselves to be rational and sensible and 'conspiracy theorists' as nuts, idiots, and tin hats. Now we have the FBI saying they have no evidence that Bin Laden did 911, that is, Bin Laden did 911 is a conspiracy theory.

June 6, 2006 – This past weekend, a thought provoking e-mail circulated through Internet news groups, bringing attention to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist web page for Usama Bin Laden.[1] (See bottom of this web page for Most Wanted page) In the e-mail, the question is asked, “Why doesn’t Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster make any direct connection with the events of September 11, 2001?” The FBI says on its Bin Laden web page that Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. According to the FBI, these attacks killed over 200 people. The FBI concludes its reason for “wanting” Bin Laden by saying, “In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorists attacks throughout the world.”

On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”

Surprised by the ease in which this FBI spokesman made such an astonishing statement, I asked, “How this was possible?” Tomb continued, “Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11.” I asked, “How does that work?” Tomb continued, “The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11.”

It shouldn’t take long before the full meaning of these FBI statements start to * your brain and raise your blood pressure. If you think the way I think, in quick order you will be wrestling with a barrage of very powerful questions that must be answered. First and foremost, if the U.S. government does not have enough hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11, how is it possible that it had enough evidence to invade Afghanistan to “smoke him out of his cave?” The federal government claims to have invaded Afghanistan to “root out” Bin Laden and the Taliban. Through the talking heads in the mainstream media, the Bush Administration told the American people that Usama Bin Laden was Public Enemy Number One and responsible for the deaths of nearly 3000 people on September 11, 2001. Yet nearly five years later, the FBI says that it has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.

Are you going to support that allegation, or just hit 'n run ... ?

The fact remains that, in nearly five years, the War Criminals who LIED about Iraq, in order to violate the very tenets of International Law and slaughter hundreds of thousands of people, for profit (and Israel - Oh, I know, you're going to insult me now ...) haven't been able to produce even one piece of the compelling and independently-verifiable evidence which would exist, and be forthcoming, if their "The evil Arabs did it! To war!!" Conspiracy Theory, were true.

911 = PNAC, CIA, Mossad

...he is right, isn't he Twilight? The "news site" has some questionable politics which might lead the rest of us to question it as an accurate source of news and comment, in the same way we would be wise to exercise caution with Fox and so forth. How do you respond to that, instead of tired old claims of spookdom?

So Are You Going To Support That?
