- If we are to believe the 9/11 whitewash commission, al-Qaeda
"planned to have nine ... planes crash into the FBI and CIA headquarters,
the Pentagon and the White House, as well as nuclear plants and the tallest
buildings in California and Washington state," according to CNN. But
this was called off because Osama couldn't handle the logistics.
-
- I don't believe Osama and his fundie cave dwellers were
able to handle the logistics of what ultimately happened on 9/11, either,
but then I don't have Khalid Shaikh Mohammed filling up my head with a
load of nonsense.
-
- But then I don't believe a word our rulers say about
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed or his alleged confessions. In fact, I don't believe
the US has Mohammed in custody. Recall that this evil terrorist was reportedly
captured in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, March 1, 2003. But this does not make
sense. "Like the man accused of arranging the murder of Wall Street
Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, Mohammed was an ISI asset," writes
Robert Fisk, "indeed, anyone who is 'handed over' by the ISI these
days is almost certainly a former (or present) employee of the Pakistani
agency whose control of Taliban operatives amazed even the Pakistani government
during the years before 2001."
-
- And if Mohammed was or is an ISI asset, it stands to
reason he is a CIA asset as well.
-
- "It is a matter of public record that the Pakistani
intelligence agency (ISI) and the CIA have very close ties. Over the last
two decades the two agencies worked together continuously in such activities
as intelligence gathering, covert funding, and covert operations (which
included drug smuggling)," explains the \Center for Cooperative Research.
"They worked together to train, fund, and arm the Mujaheddin forces
that expelled the Soviets in the ë80s. And in the late ë90s,
they worked together to help the Taliban consolidate power in Afghanistan."
-
- It does not make sense for the ISI and the CIA to "capture"
one of their assets and turn him over to be interrogated about things both
agencies already know and may have planned.
-
- Last night I watched the excellent film "Day of
the Jackal," about an assassination plot against Charles DeGaul. In
the film, the assassin steals the passport of a Danish school teacher and
sets about with some hair dye to make himself look like the guy on the
stolen passport. Now this may work in the movies, but it is more difficult
to pull off in real life. But this is what the ISI and CIA did with the
man they "captured" and told the media was Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
-- they found a guy who looked something like Mohammed and passed him off
as the real McCoy. Take a moment to look at the"captured" Mohammed
and the Mohammed from a 1998 wanted poster. Do you think this is the same
guy?
-
- But, of course, none of this matters now. Americans don't
remember details about Khalid Shaikh Mohammed or do they know anything
about his ISI-CIA past. All that matters now is that the whitewash commission
says al-Qaeda had planned to hijack a bevy of planes and kill far more
people than they supposedly did on 9/11. It makes al-Qaeda seem far more
powerful and far-reaching than it actually is or was. Guys with this sort
of ambition will strike again. Osama is still out there. So is al-Zarqawi
and his gang of beheaders. (Incidentally, al-Zarqawi worked for the ISI-CIA
in Afghanistan, just like his supposed mentor, Osama.)
-
- Be afraid. Be very afraid.
