European news media reports that Osama Bin Laden in July
2001 was treated at the American Hospital in Dubai and even
visited by a known official of the CIA.

This story is either true or false and demands investigation, for
if it is false, such bogus stories must be laid to rest and if it
is true, here is clear evidence of government (or at least CIA)
knowledge of Bin Laden's whereabouts prior to 9-11.


Bush appointed Krongard Executive Director in 2001.... true false


As of July 16, 2002, Congress had yet to question the former Alex
(A.B.) Brown division head A. B. ‘Buzzy’ Krongard....true false

1. This would be good to know !!!

[chuck555]

2. It was a French radio network.

No one else reported it so its BS.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

4. The French report

goes uncorroborrated (sp) however it is well known that many Saudi princes paid money to Bin Laden and or associates either for protection or just to carry on the fight against the infidels. If this weren't true.. then some of them wouldn't have met such untimely deaths last year.... car crash.... plane crash... "thirst?". Interesting to say the least.

NEW YORK -- A top al-Qaida operative in U.S. custody has revealed that key Saudi Arabian and Pakistani figures had prior knowledge of the Sept. 11 terrorist plot against the United States, according to a new book.

In "Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11," author Gerald Posner also says three Saudi royal princes who had contacts with the terror network died unexpectedly within a week last year, and a Pakistani military officer was killed seven months later.

While he concedes that the deaths could be "coincidences," Posner says, they occurred after the CIA had passed along to Saudi and Pakistani officials information it had obtained from Abu Zubaydah, a key associate of al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden.

"My gut tells me that if Zubaydah's information was accurate, our error was telling the Saudis what we had," he said in an interview. "People did not want them to talk, and took them out. Can I prove it? No."

Two of the subjects, Saudi Prince Ahmed bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz and Pakistani Air Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir, "knew that an attack was scheduled for American soil" on Sept. 11, 2001, but did not know where, when or any other details about which to warn U.S. officials, Posner writes.<<

>>Why America Slept, by Gerald Posner, claims that Zubaidah resisted CIA interrogation, despite the use of "quick-on, quick-off" painkillers and truth drugs.

Posner describes how, in an attempt to frighten Zubaidah, he was moved to a fake Saudi interrogation chamber, manned by Arab-American special forces masquerading as Saudi police.

"His reaction was not fear, but utter relief," Posner writes. Zubaidah recited telephone numbers for one prince, informing the fake Saudis the prince would "tell you what to do".

The effect of Posner's claims may be largely diplomatic: there is no corroborating evidence for his claims, and the prince died of a heart attack, aged 43, last year.

>>Two other princes named in the book as al-Qa'eda paymasters also died within a week of Prince Ahmed.<<

3. CBS

Bin Laden Whereabouts Before 9/11

French network, my ass.

ON EDIT: sorry, this is the Rawalpindi story.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

5. Good job....

Didn't know that went down like that.... most excellent.

[reprehensor]

7. Assuming you have seen this?

Dubai

All Euro (and London Times) confirmations of the story. Not just 'a French radio network'. Even a Reuters account. But does it 'prove' anything?

8. But does it 'prove' anything?

To me it doesn't matter.... fact is we have supported "terrorists" in the past... but we called them "freedom fighters". Depends who they were working for.

10. this story has not been confirmed or debunked

since it was mentioned in the Brisard and Dasquie book "Forbidden Truth."

If you believe them it's true. (they are well-respected Journalists in Europe, but they have apparently been blacked out here, for the most part)

Krongard has never been questioned in public.
