Evidence Suggests CIA Purposefully Spiked Investigations
Dear Members of the Press:
A grave miscarriage of justice is afoot. After years being withheld the
Administration finally is forced to release the CIA's IG Re****t on 9/11.
While earlier news accounts said the re****t would be released in early
September it was released in the middle of a Congressional recess, in the
middle of a Summer break, thus insuring it will not receive the attention
it
deserves. Worse still is the conclusion in most press re****ts since its
release that bolsters the official narrative, i.e., that all the myriad
failures were simply due to 'systemic failure' and/or incompetence.
The cir***stantial evidence running contrary to this conclusion is
compelling and convincing.
It appears that Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar were being protected by higher ups
in the CIA. Respected author Joe Trento has re****ted that they were
working
for Saudi Intelligence. Others re****ted the two were removed from the
watchlist two days before 9/11. I don't know if either was the case. It is
clear, however, that there was a concerted effort to protect them, similar
in some respects to the way authorities in FBI HQ refused to allow Rowley
and company in Minnesota to go into Mousaoui's laptop computer or how
higher
ups prevented Robert Wright in Chicago from going after the money trail of
Yassin Al-Kadi (Qadi) who financed the software company Ptech and the
terrorist group Hamas and who was later named a "Specially Designated
Global
Terrorist" by President Bush in October of 2001.
There is a pattern here that cannot be adequately explained by charges of
'systemic failure' or incompetence. As Kristen Breitweiser has suggested,
something else is going on, and the repeated missed op****tunities (she has
do***ented 7) and blocked communications suggests something "purposeful"
on
the part of authorities. The IG Re****t says 60 agents reviewed the Intel
about the two.
Please review the statements below made by 9/11 widow Kristen Breitweiser
and by Investigative Journalist Michael Isikoff of Newsweek. These are
merely jumping off points to following a trail few have had the courage to
examine closely and relentlessly until answers to the questions raised by
Kristen and others are answered. In the wake of 9/11, billions of dollars,
the lives of soldiers and the Constitution are being sacrificed. Let not
truth be sacrificed as well, not when it comes to what happened on
September
11th, 2001.
Thank you.

[snip] Perhaps even more disturbing is the information regarding Khalid
al-Midhar and Nawaf Alhazmi, two of the hijackers. In late August, the CIA
asked the INS to put these two men on a watchlist because of their ties to
the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole. On August 23, 2001, the INS informed the
CIA
that both men had already slipped into the country. Immediately
thereafter,
the CIA asked the FBI to find al-Midhar and Alhazmi--not a seemingly hard
task in light of the fact that one of them was listed in the San Diego
phone
book, the other took out a bank account in his own name, and finally, an
FBI
informant happened to be their roommate. [snip]*
Later, after three more years of connecting dots, Kristen Breitweiser
wrote
in Huffington Post, August 20, 2005:
[snip] Additionally, when one carefully reads the 9/11 chronology and
information provided in the public record, it becomes increasingly clear
that the CIA´s repeated failure to share information with the FBI about
two
of the 9/11 hijackers-al Mihdhar and al Hazmi-- was purposeful. There
exists
at least seven instances between January 2000 and September 11th, 2001,
that
the CIA withheld vital information from the FBI about these two hijackers
who were inside this country training for the attacks. Once, twice, maybe
even three times could be considered merely careless oversights. But at
least seven do***ented times? To me, that suggests something else. (To
read
about these instances, I suggest you read 9/11 materials relating to the
"watchlisting issue" involving al Mihdhar and al Hazmi which is a story so
detailed, that it deserves its own lengthy blog.) [snip]
*From an interview with Newsweek Investigative Re****ter Michael Isikoff
for
the do***entary, 9/11: Press for Truth http://www.911pressfortruth.com
:*
MICHAEL ISIKOFF: The CIA learned about this meeting. It arranged for it
to
be under surveillance by the Malaysian special branch... The CIA
subsequently learned within days that... Almihdhar and Alhazmi were headed
for the United States. ...An FBI detailee who knew about this at the
Counter
Terrorism Center of the CIA drafted a cable to alert the FBI, and that
cable
was quashed by superiors at the CIA.
