Why Did 9-11 Financier Gen. Ahmad Meet US Intel Comm Chairs on 9-11 am?

Why Did 9-11 Financier Gen. Ahmad Meet with US Intelligence
Committee Chairs on 9-11?


Michel Chossudovsky writes, "While the Washington Post scores in on the 'notoriously close' links between General Ahmad and Osama bin Laden, it fails to dwell on the more important question: what were Rep. Porter Goss and Senator Bob Graham and other members of the Senate and House intelligence committees doing together with the alleged 9/11 'money-man' at breakfast on the morning of 9/11?

In other words, the Washington Post report does not go one inch further in begging the real question: Was this mysterious breakfast venue a 'political lapse', an intelligence failure or something far more serious? How come the very same individuals (Goss and Graham) who had developed a personal rapport with General Ahmad, had been entrusted under the joint committee inquiry 'to reveal the truth on 9-11' ?

1. Because they were buddy, buddy with George Tenet...
...who was buddy, buddy with Mahmoud Ahmad,
...who was buddy, buddy with Mohammed Atta...


Man. That song is a lot catchier that it seems at first...

Indeed. The large cash payment from a Pakistani ISI official to one of the alleged hijackers is one of the big unanswered questions in the official account of the 9/11 attacks. Ahmad's presence in DC on 9/11 only deepens the mystery.

So. Why was it that we invaded Afghanistan again? They didn't pay for the attacks.

2. Speculating...
Maybe Gen. Ahmad set up the meeting to cover his ass? Or to see that all went well? Kinda risky, though, with one plane headed to Washington.

I doubt Graham is dirty on this one, especially since he wants to release the 28 redacted pages. Goss, however, is another story. It's possible that Goss set up the meeting to ensure a Democrat would be tarred with the same brush if the story of the meeting got out...

3. From a Pakistani paper on September 10:
"ISI Chief Lt-Gen. Mahmoud's week-long presence in Washington has triggered speculation about the agenda of his mysterious meetings at the Pentagon and National Security Council. Officially, he is on a routine visit in return to CIA Director George Tenet's earlier visit to Islamabad. Official sources confirm that he met Tenet this week. He also held long parleys with unspecified officials at the White House and the Pentagon. But the most important meeting was with Marc Grossman, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. One can safely guess that the discussions must have centred around Afghanistan . . . and Osama bin Laden. What added interest to his visit is the history of such visits. Last time Ziauddin Butt, Mahmoud's predecessor, was here, during Nawaz Sharif's government, the domestic politics turned topsy-turvy within days."
