The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket
By Robert Scheer
The Los Angeles Times

Tuesday 19 October 2004

The agency is withholding a damning report that points at senior officials.
It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

"It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed," an intelligence official who has read the report told me, adding that "the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward."

When I asked about the report, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she and committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) sent a letter 14 days ago asking for it to be delivered. "We believe that the CIA has been told not to distribute the report," she said. "We are very concerned."

According to the intelligence official, who spoke to me on condition of anonymity, release of the report, which represents an exhaustive 17-month investigation by an 11-member team within the agency, has been "stalled." First by acting CIA Director John McLaughlin and now by Porter J. Goss, the former Republican House member (and chairman of the Intelligence Committee) who recently was appointed CIA chief by President Bush.

1. What secret?

:)

[realcountrymusic]

2. Goddamn

Someone at the CIA must be in a position to leak that report. You KNOW they hate Bush.

That could be the October Surprise to end October Surprises.

3. I believe that tomorrow Kerry will demand the release of this report

Just a hunch

4. Wonder if Cheney was doing his "job" in a "satisfactory manner"

when he was directing those hijacking/war games exercises on 9/11 that allowed the real hijacked aircraft to go undetected among the fog and clutter created by the fake hijacked aircraft?

Mike Ruppert in his speech to the Commonwealth Club of California Aug 31, 2004:

FOR ME, THE PIVOTAL EVIDENCE ABSOLUTELY DEMONSTRATING
DIRECT GOVERNMENT COMPLICITY IN, AND MANAGEMENT OF, THE
ATTACKS WAS FOUND IN A NUMBER OF UNDISPUTED, YET VIRTUALLY
UNADDRESSED WARGAMES THAT I WILL SHOW WERE BEING
CONDUCTED, COORDINATED AND/OR CONTROLLED BY VICE PRESIDENT
DICK CHENEY OR HIS IMMEDIATE STAFF ON THE MORNING OF
SEPTEMBER 11TH. THE NAMES OF THOSE WARGAMES ARE KNOWN TO
INCLUDE: VIGILANT GUARDIAN, VIGILANT WARRIOR, NORTHERN
GUARDIAN, NORTHERN VIGILANCE, AND TRIPOD II. ALL HAVE BEEN
REPORTED ON BY MAJOR PRESS ORGANIZATIONS RELYING ON
UNDISPUTED QUOTES FROM PARTICIPATING MILITARY PERSONNEL.
THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN CONFIRMED BY NORAD PRESS RELEASES. ALL,
EXCEPT FOR NORTHERN VIGILANCE AND TRIPOD II HAD TO DO WITH
HIJACKED AIRLINERS INSIDE THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES,
SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE NORTHEAST AIR DEFENSE SECTOR WHERE
ALL FOUR 9/11 HIJACKINGS OCCURRED.

ACCORDING TO A CLEAR RECORD SOME OF THESE EXERCISES
INVOLVED COMMERCIAL AIRLINE HIJACKINGS. IN SOME CASES FALSE
BLIPS WERE DELIBERATELY INSERTED ONTO FAA AND MILITARY RADAR
SCREENS AND THEY WERE PRESENT DURING (AT LEAST) THE FIRST
ATTACKS. THIS EFFECTIVELY PARALYZED FIGHTER RESPONSE
BECAUSE, WITH ONLY EIGHT FIGHTERS AVAILABLE IN THE REGION,
THERE WERE AS MANY AS 22 POSSIBLE HIJACKINGS TAKING PLACE.
OTHER EXERCISES, SPECIFICALLY NORTHERN VIGILANCE HAD PULLED
SIGNIFICANT FIGHTER RESOURCES AWAY FROM THE NORTHEAST U.S.
– JUST BEFORE 9/11 – INTO NORTHERN CANADA AND ALASKA. IN
ADDITION, A CLOSE READING OF KEY NEWS STORIES PUBLISHED IN THE
SPRING OF 2004 REVEALED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT SOME OF THESE
DRILLS WERE “LIVE-FLY” EXERCISES WHERE ACTUAL AIRCRAFT, LIKELY
FLOWN BY REMOTE CONTROL – WERE SIMULATING THE BEHAVIOR OF
HIJACKED AIRLINERS IN REAL LIFE. ALL OF THIS AS THE REAL ATTACKS
BEGAN.

5. The magic arab pilots theory.

"A bunch of arabs who trained on piper cubs were able to smuggle weapons through the metal detectors at airports, evade the most sophisticated air defense system in the world's history for over an hour and make pin point impacts on relatively tiny buildings causing the buildings to fall straight down in a controlled demolition collapse."

And they call US tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists?!?!?!!?

After Johnny K is elected, some incredible shit will be unearthed and some incredible shitheads will be EARTHED,

But first, we HAVE TO ELECT JOHNNY K.

(I know there are some "multitaskers" out there, but how about ALL OF US concentrating on the conspiracy to steal the election for a couple of weeks?)

14. here's some validation of Ruppert's claims

http://www.thememoryhole.org/911/cia-simulation.htm

excerpt:

The National Law Enforcement and Security Institute will be holding a conference called "Homeland Security: America's Leadership Challenge" in Chicago on 6 Sept 2002. The star speaker is Rudolph Giuliani. One of the other speakers is CIA man John Fulton. Here is the crucial sentence from the promotional literature for the conference:

On the morning of September 11th 2001, Mr. Fulton and his team at the CIA were running a pre-planned simulation to explore the emergency response issues that would be created if a plane were to strike a building.

6. It'll be leaked.

Not all spooks are bad spooks.

[Roon]

7. I do believe in spooks..

I do, I do, I do...

[napi21]

8. I wonder if they will just blame Tenet? After all, he's gone.

I believe in some of the spooks too, but I doubt anyone who's still there would out "high officials" unless it is the result of a strong inter-agency fight, and the go after DOD. I'd believe retired agents would, but not active ones.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

10. The CIA is quite large and there are more than enough high-level...

...folks that would have absolutely no problem leaking information of this nature.

Trust me...there are plenty of people inside the CIA at all levels that have what happened to Valerie Plame burning in their guts. I find myself thinking from time to time how certain factions of the CIA might have responded if Plame had been killed as a result of being exposed.

The new CIA Director will NEVER gain control of the CIA...he was cut out of the loop from the moment he took the job.

[SoCalDem]

16. The minute that Bush said Tenet would stay on, I had a queasy feeling.

That's a common ploy.. Keep some holdovers from the previous admin, to show how "bipartisan" you are, AND to have some ready scapegoats when the shit hits the fan..

The two dem admin holdovers.. CIA and transportation (mineta)..

Of course 9-11 just happened to involve information (or the lacl of it...CIA) and planes..rammed into buildings...(transportation)..

[goodboy]

9. kick for the truth

:kick:

11. Maybe another reason Air Traffic Controllers are staunchly backing Kerry

Hmmm

[Tesibria]

12. Sign the petition!!!

to demand release ...

[speedoo]

15. done. eom

[powergirl]

13. I'll bet it blames Ashcroft and Rice

John Ashcroft blew off fighting terrorism so that he could harass women going to Planned Parenthood and keep giant statues of the Ten Commandments in courthouses. Condi Rice was still in Soviet Ballistic Missile Mode. And Bush was on VACATION!!!! Someone will leak this baby. I'm rubbing my hands with glee. :evilgrin:

[tom_paine]

17. And yet, the Dems rolled over for the corrupt Porter Goss

I know, what's done is done, but damn do we need to learn to make some stands, ESPECIALLY when the choice is as wrong as Goss.

[TomClash]

18. Condi Rice is one nt

[TomClash]

19. Leak, leak, leak, leak nt
