Reply #32: Interesting speculation about Atta flying to Canada.

Seems to me that it would be a huge risk to let Atta go free. Given his recent history (pre-9/11) running drugs and his probable connections to the CIA, I don't know why they'd risk this guy showing up someplace else...that would really blow the OCT. I figured Atta was in on the 9/11 hijacking, but perhaps as a role playing terrorist. If UA11 was part of the Vigilent Warrior exercise going on that day, he could have signed on as a pretend hijacker, someone to add realism to a simulated hijacking event.....or he might simply have been a passenger who was on his way to LA for some other assignment. Either way, he provides a face for the OCT and his services are terminated permanently.
