Reply #149: re: This information on Cofer Black

[rschop]

To explain where I got this information on Cofer Black, I actually spent time a huge amount of time putting the entire account of 9/11 back together again. It took several years using every single US official government investigation and report I could find, plus other documents I could confirm as correct, for example, Bob Woodward’s book States of Denial, which describes the urgent meeting in the White House between Blee, Black, Tenet, and Rice and Clarke, where Tenet tells Rice a huge al Qaeda attack will take place shortly inside of the US and kill thousands of Americans, Lawrence Wright's book Looming Tower on FBI Agent Ali Soufan, and the documents actually entered into the Moussaoui trial.

Since some of the information had been left out or deliberately obscured in these reports, I had to build very detailed times lines and then figure out from these reports, who knew what, when they knew it, where did they get this information and did they act like a prudent person would act, once they had this information in order to prevent the attacks on 9/11 or did they intentionally hide the information they had even though they knew it might lead to FBI criminal investigators being unable to prevent the attacks on 9/11.

When documents were in conflict with one another, I had to figure out who or what document was telling the truth. At first this was very hard, but as I worked through the conflicting accounts I found that it became easier to figure out the real account. I used several techniques to do this.

I used what is called consistency to figure out which account matched information that was already available in the rest of the account on 9/11, and much that information had not differed at all even in different accounts of 9/11. Since as this process went on I got more and more information that was consistent, it became easier and easier to see what information was consistent with what I already had and what information was not consistent with what was already available.

I also determined which account had the most credible information, and in general it was the account that actually had the most detail instead of the account where no one could remember what was said. I also lined up what people actually said with what government documents showed that they actually knew.

For example, the account of the meeting between FBI Agent Dina Corsi and attorney Sherry Sabol, in the DOJ IG report it said no one could remember what took place that this meeting. FBI Agent Steve Bongardt had asked FBI HQ Gannet Dina Corsi to get a ruling from the FBI legal people to see if he could take part in an investigation of Mihdhar and Hazmi, when he found out that these al Qaeda terrorists were inside of the US on August 28, 2001. (NOTE: When I discovered that the DOJ IG report had intentionally modified a portion of their report to hide Corsi's criminal culpability in allowing the attacks on 9/11 to take place was perhaps understandable to hide FBI HQ involvement in allowing the attacks on 9/11 to take place, but disappointing since in general the DOJ IG report had the most complete picture of what had taken place prior to 9/11 that had allowed the attacks on 9/11 to succeed). Corsi in her email to Liguori and Bongardt says Sabol ruled Bongardt could have nothing to do with any investigation of Mihdhar and Hazmi. But on page 538, Footnote 81, of 9/11 Commission report it says, in testimony given to the DOJ IG investigators on November 7, 2002, Sabol told Corsi that Bongardt could take part in any investigation of Midhar since the NSA information had no connection to any FISA warrant, just exactly what FBI Agent Steve Bongardt thought. We know when one testifies to DOJ IG investigators in a potential criminal investigation, that this testimony is written down much like any other legal proceeding.

The 9/11 Commission report accurately put this written testimony in the 9/11 Commission report but buried it at the back of the report in the foot notes, which shows that even though they had the correct information, they were deliberately burying this information so no one could go back and see the entire picture. The DOJ IG report actually says no one can remember what went on at this meeting when it is clear that was this testimony was not only written down, but was already part of the final the 9/11 Commission report, and actually in the hands of the DOJ IG investigators.

Since the 9/11 Commission report came out before the DOJ IG report, it is clear that the DOJ Inspector General could have just read the 9/11 Commission report to know that he was deliberately putting in his report, information that was patently wrong, this in fact is a crime. How stupid does the DOJ IG think the American people were when his account differs from an account that is already in the public domain? Did the DOJ IG think no one would go back to see if parts of his report had been deliberately fabricated and were contrary to information that was already available.

HOW GOD DAMN DUMB CAN YOU GET!

This is no small matter. Almost 3000 were murdered on 9/11 because of this lie from Corsi about Sabol's ruling on whether Bongardt could take part in the investigation and search of Mihdhar and Hazmi. This lie is what shut down Bongardt’s investigation for good. Almost beyond belief, Rod Middleton, Corsi's boss, gets from the CIA, on August 30, 2001, the photograph of Walid Bin Attash taken at Kuala Lumpur, and now at this point has the photographic proof that Mihdhar and Hazmi, who had also been photographed at Kuala Lumpur, had taken part in the planning of the Cole bombing that took place at that meeting. In spite of Middleton being on the phone with Corsi on August 28, 2001, shutting down Bongardt’s investigation of Mihdhar and Hazmi, Middleton never calls Bongardt back asks Bongardt to restart his investigation for Mihdhar and Hazmi, in spite of the fact that Middleton and the FBI HQ already know that Mihdhar and Hazmi are inside of the US in order to take part in a massive al Qaeda attack that will kill thousands of Americans, and even know that by shutting down Bongardt’s investigation, there will be nothing stopping the al Qaeda terrorists at that point from carrying out this horrific attack.

Another example, in the letter to John Liguori on August 29, 2001, Corsi says that the information about Mihdhar and Hazmi cannot be given to FBI criminal investigators because it has not been approved by the NSA to be sent to these investigators. This is fine except for the fact that the written NSA approval is now available in the Moussaoui trail defense exhibit documents and says that this approval was actually granted on August 27, 2001, two days before Corsi tells Liguori and Bongardt that Bongardt cannot have this information because she does not have the NSA approval.

Corsi then really does herself no favors when she emailed Bongardt on August 29, 2001 and said “If at such time information is developed indicating the existence of a substantial Federal crime, that information will be passed over the wall according to procedures."

But not only did Corsi know, she admits this right on page 302 of the DOJ IG report, but the CIA and FBI HQ also knew, that Mihdhar and Hazmi had taken part in the planning of the Cole bombing, which is a horrific crime. They also knew that Mihdhar and Hazmi were long time al Qaeda terrorists connected to the east Africa bombings, and that Bin Laden had already been indicted for the east Africa bombings. Since these were horrific and heinous crimes, there was absolutely no legitimate or legal reason Corsi, her boss Rod Middleton, the CIA officer directing Corsi's obstruction of the Cole bombing investigation, Tom Wilshire, the FBI HQ and the CIA to shut down Bongardt’s investigation of Mihdhar and Hazmi. The DOJ IG report actually came to this same conclusion.

In the end I found much to my surprise that the entire story is actually all there.

It was a huge, long, and difficult process to put it all back together again, so in the end the American people could see the real and complete account of what actually took place on 9/11, an account that is sadly significantly different then what they got from the 9/11 Commission report and the main stream news media, even other books on 9/11 that had not gone to the time and effort to aggregate all of the known official government accounts of 9/11, even though they were available and in the public domain.

See my Journal for many more details on all of this.
