911 - Downsizing
al-Qaeda Ops

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, <http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO405B.html>al-Zarqawi worked for the ISI-CIA in Afghanistan, just like his supposed mentor, Osama.)

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

1. Haven't gotten the truth out of anyone in Washington yet, so

no reason to believe them now. All these confessions come from people not allowed to see lawyers, talk to newspapers, and are probably tortured.
