| [slm] FBI Admits: No Evidence Links 'Hijackers' to 9-11 http://www.americanfreepress.net/051302/FBI_Admits__No_Evidence_/fbi_admits__no_evidence_.html The possibility that 19 Muslim men accused of being the Sept. 11 hijackers were not, in fact, the hijackers, is not so extraordinary an idea as it might seem. Exclusive To American Free Press By Michael Collins Piper After seven months of non-stop declarations by U.S. government spokesmen that there exists solid proof tying 19 Muslim men to plotting the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, FBI Director Robert Mueller has now admitted quite the opposite. That 19 Muslim men who have apparently disappeared have been named as the hijackers is not in doubt. What is in doubt is whether those 19 men were actually plotting anything, either individually or together. The amazing possibility remains that others carried out the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, using the identities of the 19 Muslims who have been assigned guilt in the tragedy. In an April 19 speech delivered to the Common wealth Club in San Francisco, Mueller said that the purported hijackers, in his words, “left no paper trial.” The FBI director stated flatly: In our investigation, we have not uncovered a single piece of paper—either here in the United States or in the treasure trove of information that has turned up in Afghanistan and elsewhere—that mentioned any aspect of the Sept. 11 plot. In describing Mueller’s evidence fiasco, Los Angeles Times reporters Erich Lichtblau and Josh Meyer, whose article was reprinted in The Washington Post on April 30, note that: Law enforcement officials say that while they have been able to reconstruct the movements of the hijackers before the attacks—all legal except for a few speeding tickets—they have found no evidence of their actual plotting. The Times reporters acknowledge that Mueller’s comments “offer the FBI’s most comprehensive and detailed assessment to date of its investigation, remarkable as much for what investigators have not found as for what they have.” The FBI director explained away the absence of evidence by making the disingenuous assertion that the hijackers used “meticulous planning, extraordinary secrecy and extensive knowledge of how America works” to conceal their scheme. Mueller made this claim despite the fact that in the immediate wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, a variety of U.S. officials and media sources speciously announced, almost instantaneously, that there was firm evidence not only that these 19 Muslim men were agents of Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda “network” but that they were indeed the individuals who hijacked the doomed flights on Sept. 11. Mueller seems to forget that early government and media reports loudly hyped “discoveries”—letters and other documents—in the luggage and personal belongings of the presumed hijackers which “proved” that they were on a “mission for Allah,” etc etc. Now Mueller’s comments seem to contradict everything that’s been said |

| [slm] I googled for the article by Lichtblau and Meyer and it seems that the story is a more than a year old. I fail to see a reason behind this posting. http://www.unansweredquestions.org/timeline/2002/latimes042202.html |

| [slm] I think this is in response to the 'debunking 9/11' thread. But does it matter why it's up here? Who cares when the article was written? I think the message within th article is more important than the date: fbi and everyone else messed up BIG TIME. I could go on, but nahhhhhhh. |

| [slm] SuperFOB thanks for the link, I was looking for the LA Times article but couldn't find it. I didn't know it came out last year. 2 lists sent me this article yesterday. As sister salaampeaceshalom pointed out, what is important is the content, i.e. that there was no evidence. But yet since 9/11 we have been bombarded with people claiming that these individuals did it and that anyone that doesn't believe it was Muslims that did it, has serious problems. It is very scary to see that people would blindly accept things put forth by the media and accept it as the absolute truth, instead of looking at things and saying, does this make sense? Appearantly some feel it is offensive to question what the media says. Based on these lies, the United States went to war with a few countries and most people supported them. Who is next? Is there anything that can be done to change the way things are? |

| [wlm] People I think it's best we just bury the 9/11 'who did it' topic... there's no point to arguing over it for years after the fact when we have a lot more important things to be working on. And again every Muslim who argues over 9/11 is defending 9/11 in a lot of people's minds so they should refrain. That's a fact regardless of who's wrong or right. |
