Former White House Counterterrorism Czar Richard A. Clarke is accusing the CIA of conducting a massive cover-up in the leadup to 9/11 over their failure to recruit two al-Qaeda terrorists who eventually became 9/11 hijackers. Clarke says the CIA deliberately withheld the identities of the two from the White House, even though they were living in Southern California under their own names, to avoid embarrassment.

So I get the first shot at this sucker…??? O.K….O,K, It's Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar that are the topic here.. BUT as I remember …. The San Diego Connection. Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Mihdhar lived with a well paid FBI informant, Abdussattar Shaikh, in San Diego, in early Fall, 2000.

"The San Diego Connection
Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Mihdhar lived with a well-paid FBI informant, Abdussattar Shaikh, in San Diego, in early Fall, 2000, before heading to Shreveport where they met Graham that November. (This San Diego FBI informant story is mainstream news, it was first broken by Michael Isikoff at Newsweek.)
Abdussattar Shaikh was a crooked character with academic credentials from a diploma mill. Shaikh was fiercely protected by FBI. Senator Bob Graham (the Florida Democrat, no relation to the Shreveport dentist) was part of the Senate/House Joint Inquiry investigating 9/11. The Senator was keen to interview Shaikh, regarding his embarrassing shepherding of the 9/11 terrorists. But the FBI refused to produce Shaikh. Senator Graham prepared a subpoena. The FBI refused to accept that subpoena from him and, according to Senator Graham’s book, chose instead to practically run out of Graham’s Senate office.
According to a 2005 story by Josh Meyer in the Los Angeles Times, new documents surfaced showing that Shaikh received $100,000 from FBI for staying out of the reaches of Senator Graham and the Joint Congressional Inquiry in 2003. After the White House withheld documents from the Joint Inquiry, Senator Bob Graham concluded, “the White House was directing the cover-up” in his important book, Intelligence Matters (Random House, 2004). “Directing the cover-up” is a putting it mildly. The cover-up was not all the White House directed. I have access to Senator Graham, and in our interview, I intend to probe this further."
You should take a look at http://www.sanderhicks.com/aegis.html, The page that covers this topic is short and to the point.. Oddly the last paragraph is:
Saudi Prince Bandhar
So let’s get this straight:
Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar had financial support from the Saudi Royals close to President Bush.
Good sources report they were agents of Saudi Intelligence.
They got protection from CIA, from the US Pentagon, from the FBI in several cities. The pattern of protection itself shows a pattern: in FBI cases, intermediaries, or “handlers” were used. The media coverage, when it’s there at all, slants heavily towards the official story. Whistle-blowers like Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer are eviscerated by the Pentagon. The influential newspapers fall in line.
But the truth is still alive. Justice deferred is only justice delayed. Inevitably, there will be a reckoning."
Prophetic words indeed… Don't miss this NEW smoking gun… There are so many….
Here is another good ref. " “On Sept. 7, 2001, Mohamed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi pounded down drinks at Shuckum’s Oyster Bar on Young Circle in Hollywood,” the paper reported…”forever changing life for some in South Florida who unknowingly entered their orbit. Like Tony Amos, the night manager who backed up waitress Patricia Idrissi at Shuckum’s.”
Mohamed Atta got—not just drunk—but drunk and belligerent.
For the past almost ten years the official story has insisted exactly the opposite.
Read the whole story here. http://www.madcowprod.com Daniel Hopsicker is a tireless ferretter out of many secrets.. He has videos of the Budweiser drinking taxi driver who drove Atta to the strip clubs, bars… He has interviews with Amanda Keller, Atta's underwear model girlfriend… He IS the man!!!!
Well, perhaps we'll find out the truth some day. Any whistleblowers out there? No one who in these past 10 years grew a conscience? How is it that so many people carry such secrets with them for so long, in some cases even take them to their graves? And it's not like there are shortages in the US of these shocking events and the invariable series of lies upon lies to keep Americans from the truth. I don't get it. Good for Gates though, he was always one of the good guys in a nest of traitors and bastards.
Gates??? Really???
Whoops. Make that "Clarke".
Dicky Clarke, ten years later. Now? Freaking now he's gonna cleanse his conscience? Pish-posh. Go sit yourself down Dicky boy, you are irrelevant.
I think we will hear his end story. A MYSTERIOUS death. No one who opened his mouth lived to tell the truth. Dicky's men always waiting the green light to eliminate any threat.
CIA can make impossible possible but lies will remain lies and one day truth will come out.All of them were CIA and FBI agents this is horrible criminals name they don,t know but Bush knew immiately the name how funny. americans can believe.
After careful consideration I have decided that Clark' s " Explosive New 9/11 Charge" is nothing new to those who have studied 911. Maybe I'm too cynical, but his "news" makes me want to see his contract with the film makers… $$$$$…????? So this "charge" really has a tendency to reinforce the official story, rather than undermine it. Oh, yeah the CIA guys were –trying– to recruit these guys and were "embarrassed" that they didn't succeed… and allowed these guys do 911. Apparently to the point of trying to keep their recruiter away from Graham and the 911 commission… and giving him $1OO,OOO.OO… But… in the context of the other maneuvers of the CIA and other Gov. agencies to expunge ANY evidence not in sync with official story. E.G. the withheld CCTV surveillance tapes of the Pentagon strike: http://infowars.net/articles/may2006/170506Pentag…. The destruction of the tape made by the "Air Traffic Controllers"… that were in RADIO CONTACT with the plane that THEY made .minutes after the strike so as to preserve and not forget any of the details of their recollections:… http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename… Also the efforts of the FBI (CIA??) to keep Amanda Keller from selling her story.. 9/11 Witnesses Intimidated by FBI in Florida Cover-up: http://madcowprod.com/issue44.html

Many people, smart and not, discredit any tinge of "conspiracy theory" when talking about 9/11. But there are just so many inconsistencies and unanswered questions – and questions that were asked and avoided – that one really can't continue to ignore. Yeah, I know, but when you consider the amount of money that has changed hands since 9/11 you really can't just chalk it up to "conspiracy theory."
Clarke, a very smart man – is not irrelevant. He was moving around the hub of events at a critical time. And he was an independent. Despite his position, he hadn't drunk the Kool-aide and for that he was eventually removed – and probably advised to keep what he knew to himself though it would have been couched in diplomatic but understandable terms… (Hey, I write spy novels in my spare time)
10 years is not so long for something this big to be kept quiet. Something this big comes with dangers very dear. And with the complicity of the media the vibe has been relegated to less-than-high-profile websites. Isikoff can be a formidable investigative reporter so why has he been silent for so long on what he pieced together? I'd like to hear that he's working on some big expose that will "blow the lid" off the 9/11 adventure. But won't be surprised if not. So many skoff at the conspiracy theory that threats of death – or worse – are what keeps things from being told. I believe that the amount of money involved puts anything into play.
Sorry for the digression…back to the point. Clarke is one person I would tend to listen to with interest. 10 years is not too long to wait for something of the magnitude of 9/11. I suspect there is more he knows, too.
Let's see how the CIA and FBI react.
Clarke will be lucky to make it to see 2012, IMHO. My Magic 8-Ball says he will probably die of natural causes or a freak gardening accident before too long.
Dennis Kucinich was supposed to launch a Congressional investigation into the 9/11 "insider trading". It never happened.
Patrick Leahy was supposed to launch a Congressional investigation into the "anthrax attacks". It never happened.
The simple fact is of the matter is this: IF THERE WAS NOTHING TO COVER UP, THEY WOULDN'T BE COVERING IT UP.
But George II awarded Tenet the Medal of Freedom and that must mean he is a great American.
We all are aware that Cream and/or Scum will eventually rise to the surface. Ten years is a long time to wait, but in the passage of time, that is as a second. Anyone with any common sense knows that 911 was planned and executed by powerful people in our government. Zionist Israel was the lever, so why is everyone prancing all around that knowledge ? There is no other way that it could have been carried out…or kept hidden all this time. But the truth will be known, hopefully in time to expose all that had a hand in this dastardly attack on our nation.
what a refreshing break from all the self rightious bush obama etc crap. Go Clark Go.
This is another false lead. The only interesting thing is Richard Clark offering himself up for the modified limited (very limited) hang-out. Why and why now?
to sell hiz book(s)…??!!
Maybe because of the "Toronto Hearings" next month.
Evidence indicates the availability of these 'hijackers'' names was because of their being trained to fly dope for the Bush-bin Laden drug cartels. They probably were contacted to go fly and pick up a load of something. 7 of these pilots did not show up for their assignment and so live today
Can you imagine if the 9/11 attacks had actually been planned and carried out by Arabs/Moslems?
Can you imagine the reaction that would've happened?
Why, there would've been all kinds of investigations and Congressional hearings. There would've been all kinds of Islamophobic posturing and grandstanding and a contest to see who could most ingratiate themselves to Israel and it's fanatical partisans. People would've been reprimanded…people would've been fired…people may even have been criminally charged.
Instead what'd we get? We got "minders" and we got a trail of fake, planted "evidence"; and we got: "don't look too closely"; and we got inconvenient facts ignored; and we got inconvenient witnesses ignored; and we ended up with an embarrassingly obvious fraud of an "investigation".
And the moral of the story is: Real terrorist attack –> real investigation; fake terrorist attack –> fake investigation.
Could it be that the total lack of whistle-blowers is due to there not actually being a massive government conspiracy but rather a government that took advantage of a terror attack to wage its own ideological jihad?
It doesn't make one feel as important as knowing the "truth" about an "inside job" but it would explain the curious silence from the thousands of people who would have had to be involved.
Why "thousands"? Who would some of the "thousands" of knowing participants have been?
Shii-yat!
I thought Clarke was going to 'out' the CIA as the motive force in dropping all that real estate.
Some day?
