Secret dossier sought in 9/11 trial
Expatica -28 November 2003
HAMBURG - A German prosecutor is seeking permission to reveal top-secret intelligence documents to a Hamburg court that is trying a man accused of involvement in the 11 September 2001 attacks.
To the surprise of judges, federal prosecutor Walter Hemberger asked for extra trial time while he waits for permission from officials who answer direct to Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in Berlin.

Brandnew (Video-) Analysis by Scott Loughrey
The Mysterious Cameraman
November 28, 2003
So who is this guy? When Gedeon films from the street after the South Tower (WTC 2) collapse there is a great deal of dust in the air. However, he never mentions that he is with someone who is helping him videotape. This person blows periodically on the camera lens.
At this time Gedeon doesn't have facial hair. Jules does; however we're supposed to think at this point that Jules and Gedeon have been separated. This person does have a strong resemblance to Jules. Why is this man never interviewed?

Update: "Stonewalling the 9/11 Commission" (New letters) 11/30
Amid fears that it can no longer meet a spring deadline, the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks is coming under increasing pressure to seek an extension of its work into the 2004 election season.
Although the panel's leadership says it can still complete its investigation on schedule, a growing number of commissioners believe that is unlikely and are pushing the group to consider asking Congress for more time, several officials said.
An influential group of relatives of Sept. 11 victims, the Family Steering Committee, also issued a statement yesterday recommending that the commission seriously discuss an extension.

What makes you think you actually KNOW what happened on those planes? All four were obliterated, along with everyone on board, remember? No crime scene, no direct evidence, no recognizable remains, no witnesses whatsoever -- it's a blank canvas. How convenient for any party intent on launching a new era of global imperialism, and willing to spin this tragedy into a viable excuse. Indeed, all of the attack's consequences are far better explained by this agenda than by Bin Laden's purported death wish. Those presuming to examine this matter, i.e. ALL OF US, need to recognize that such trickery is a timeless specialty of governments.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Former Sen. Max Cleland, a Democrat, has been nominated by President Bush to serve on the board of the Export-Import Bank.
As a result he will have to leave the commission investigating the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The statutes governing the panel, formally known as The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, bar anyone who holds a federal job like being on the Ex-Im Board.
Cleland has been one of the more outspoken members of the commission, accusing the administration of delaying access to vital documents in an effort to run out the clock on its investigation.

MADISON -- As an insurance company executive testified before the national commission on the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, four Central Jersey women who fought for the investigation sat frustrated in the front row with their children.
Eleven months since the commission started its inquiry, the four women -- who lost their husbands in the World Trade Center attack -- are upset that they still have none of the answers they were hoping to get.
9/11 widow Kristen Breitweiser of Middletown carries daughter Caroline, 4, at yesterday's hearing on the attacks. "It is extremely disappointing," said Mindy Kleinberg of East Brunswick. Her late husband, Alan, worked for Cantor Fitzgerald. Kleinberg had worked with Patty Casazza of Colts Neck, Kristen Breitweiser of Middletown and Lorie Van Auken of East Brunswick to lobby Congress to create the National Commission on the Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.

Excerpted from: Truth, Lies, and The Legend of 9/11
GlobalResearch -November 20
By Chaim Kupferberg
In these selected excerpts from his landmark article, Chaim Kupferberg looks at the Florida portion of the 9/11 Legend, using the recorded recollections of Yosri Fouda - the only journalist ever to interview the 9/11 mastermind - in order to expose a glaring contradiction in the "official" record of 9/11.
As for his choice for flight training, Atta and his comrades presciently chose to hone their skills within commuter distance of the C.I.A./military base that would later serve as Central Command for the War in Afghanistan. As posted on the CBS News site on March 5, 2003, here was Binalshibh's simple explanation to Yosri Fouda as to why Florida was chosen for its flight schools:
"The prices in America were convenient and the weather was ideal for more flying hours, especially in the coastal states like Florida ... and the term of study wouldn't take long."

German Sept 11 theory stokes anti-US feeling
Daily Telegraph UK -November 20
A former German cabinet minister is drawing huge crowds and stoking the fires of popular anti-Americanism with a book arguing that the US government mounted the September 11 attacks in a plot to win global domination. von Bulow has gone further than Michael Meacher, Tony Blair's former environment minister, who was widely criticised for claiming that America knowingly failed to prevent the attacks.
Mr von Bulow, 66, a former research minister in the German government, believes that September 11, when more than 3,000 people died, was staged to justify the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Berlin has made no official response to the book, but behind closed doors ministers have tried to distance themselves from his radical views. However, his ideas are very popular in Germany, which is wallowing in a wave of anti-Americanism. Polls show that a fifth of the population, and one in three of those under 30, believe the US government ordered the attacks. "If what I say is right, the whole US government should end up behind bars," Mr von Bulow told The Daily Telegraph at his home in Bonn.

By John A. McCurdy
Most should by now be familiar with the proposition that the administration of President George W. Bush in the United States had prior knowledge of, or was complicit in carrying out, the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The proposition clearly points to the existence of a sinister and seemingly preposterous - even paranoid - conspiracy conjecture: that the basis for two years of "War on Terror," which have held the globe hostage to fear and threats of U.S. retaliation, may be a half-truth at best, or a complete fabrication at worst.
The idea has appeared on the Internet to date in a thousand guises, some clearly more credible than others (why this phenomenon of virtual proliferation should surprise anyone, in a culture that now generates a 30 percent increase in information internationally and annually, begs consideration).
A diverse community of researchers, authors, activists, and believers has emerged over the last two years to advance a range of alternative understandings of how and why America was attacked on 9/11 that revolve around this core thesis. They call themselves 9/11 Skeptics and use Internet websites, e-mail, videos, books and magazines to scrutinize, advance and disseminate empirically grounded, vociferously documented, and increasingly sophisticated ideas about the real meaning of Sept. 11. For over two years now I have counted myself among their number.

CIA rejects claim it sought Osama deal before 9/11 (Reuters 11/14)
Where was Osama bin Laden on 9/11?
Bush Administration knew the Whereabouts of Osama
by Michel Chossudovsky
The URL of this article is: http://web.archive.org/web/20031202160941/http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO311A.html
If the CBS report by Dan Rather is accurate and Osama had indeed been admitted to the Pakistani military hospital on September 10, 2001, courtesy of America's ally, he was in all likelihood still in hospital in Rawalpindi on the 11th of September, when the attacks occurred. In all probability, his whereabouts were known to US officials on the morning of September 12, when Secretary of State Colin Powell initiated negotiations with Pakistan, with a view to arresting and extraditing bin Laden.
A recent Reuters report (11/13/03; scroll down) quoting Labeviere's book "Corridors of Terror" points to alleged "negotiations" between Osama bin Laden and the CIA, which took place two months prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks at the American Hospital in Dubai, UAE, while bin Laden was recovering from a kidney dialysis treatment
Enemy Number One in hospital recovering from dialysis treatment "negotiating with CIA"?
The meeting with the CIA head of station at the American Hospital in Dubai, UAE was confirmed by a report in the French daily newspaper Le Figaro, published in October 2001. (See Alexandra Richard, at http://web.archive.org/web/20031202160941/http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/RIC111B.html ,
For a virtual tour of the hospital click http://web.archive.org/web/20031202160941/http://www.ahdubai.com/site/tour_1.htm

The "negotiations" between the CIA and Osama (a CIA "intelligence asset") is sheer disinformation. Even though the CIA has refuted the claim, the report serves to highlight Osama as a bona fide "Enemy of America," rather than a creation of the CIA. In the words of former CIA agent Milt Bearden in an interview with Dan Rather on September 12, 2001, “If they didn’t have an Osama bin Laden, they would invent one.”
Intelligence negotiations never take place on a hospital bed. The CIA knew Osama was at the American Hospital in Dubai. Rather than negotiate, they could have arrested him. He was on the FBI most wanted list.

September 11 - Islamic Jihad or another Northwoods?
by Tim Howells, physics911.org -10th November 2003 [Version 1.0]
In 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, our highest and most responsible military officers, proposed to commit acts of terrorism aimed against U.S. citizens, designed to look as though they had been the work of operatives of Fidel Castro. The object was to provide a pretext for an invasion of Cuba. Among many imaginative proposals, the Chiefs suggested:
"We could develop a communist cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington" and further: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba ... casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." [http://web.archive.org/web/20031202160941/http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/doc1.pdf ]
Although these plans were never carried out (they were rejected by President Kennedy), similar proposals WERE actually implemented during the 1970's and 1980's in Europe by the CIA, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians. In one bombing of a busy train station in Bologna Italy in 1980, 86 people were killed and over 200 wounded. The bombings were designed to look like the work of communist extremists although they were in fact committed by right wing extremists working under the direction of the CIA. The aim of these operations was to whip up anticommunist sentiment among our european allies. [Arthur E. Rowse: Gladio: The secret U.S. War to subvert Italian Democracy. Covert Action Quarterly No. 49, Summer 1994. http://web.archive.org/web/20031202160941/http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/gladio.html ]
Was September 11 a similar operation, mounted by elements of our own government in order to whip up public support for an all out war against the Arab states in the Middle East? The evidence strongly suggests that this is the case.
My aim here is to provide a brief introduction to some of this evidence with pointers for further reading.

Excerpted from: Truth, Lies, and The Legend of 9/11 by Chaim Kupferberg
GlobalResearch.ca -November 16
They were reported to be al-Qaida's key recruiters in the UK and the EU - the men who indoctrinated Binalshibh, Atta, Moussaoui, the "shoe bomber", and countless others into the ranks of al-Qaida. Yet in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, with authorities throughout Europe rounding up nameless Muslim suspects by the score, these men were left untouched.
In this latest excerpt from Chaim Kupferberg's landmark article, Kupferberg looks at the murky background surrounding the 9/11 recruiters, and sets out the following bold hypothesis: if one were to posit the presence of a covert intelligence service behind the actions of the 9/11 hijackers, the most logical place to look would be in the vicinity of al-Qaida's key recruiting agents. Does Kupferberg make his case? You be the judge.
...Presiding over the Finsbury Park recruitment drive was a one-eyed, one-handed sheikh with a metal claw who went by the name of Abu Hamza. Abu Hamza, like bin Laden, was a veteran of the C.I.A.-funded drive to oust the Soviets from Afghanistan. In the mid-eighties, Abu Hamza settled in Britain where he eventually became known as one of the key point men in laying the groundwork for Muslim fundamentalism in the United Kingdom.

Judge Rejects Saudi Terrorist Link
Suit Claimed Members of Royal Family Funded 9/11 Attackers WP Saturday, November 15, 2003; Page A16
Plaintiffs in a massive lawsuit against Saudi leaders have not provided compelling evidence that individual members of the Saudi royal family knowingly funded al Qaeda's Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a federal judge ruled yesterday as he dismissed the victims' claims against two of the desert kingdom's princes.
The $1 trillion lawsuit, filed by more than 900 victims' family members and some injured firefighters and rescue workers, argued that several Saudi leaders and investment organizations helped fund the terrorist attacks and should be held responsible.
They charged that Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, as Saudi defense minister and leader of Islamic affairs, funded charities that he knew subsidized Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization. They claimed that Prince Turki al-Faisal, director of the Saudi Department of General Intelligence, helped the royal family strike a deal to pay bin Laden protection money so he would not carry out terrorist strikes inside Saudi Arabia or work to bring down the Saudi government.

Seattle and Kansas City activists are considering organizing 200 or 300 or more protesters to stand one on each corner of downtown intersections on a Saturday (when traffic is high), thereby covering 75 or more intersections with signs on 4 corners reading "Stop the Bush 9-11 Cover up!" or "9-11: Bush Knew!" or "9-11: What is Bush Hiding?"
EVERYONE should forward this idea to ALL their contact lists, and urge other cities to contemplate the same actions, perhaps coordinating into a national day of 9-11 action.

Bush should fess up on 9/11. Philadelphia CityPaper -November 13-19, 2003

Whether we’re talking about pre-war intelligence or massive pre-9/11 failure, an insular government culture, and in particular, an administration that denies accountability while obscuring the truth behind claims of "executive privilege" is a grave danger to our national security.
There is no more serious threat to the integrity of the Constitution and the national security it was intended to protect than an administration practicing excessive secrecy and obfuscation, especially when unchallenged.
