NONE OF THE SO-CALLED TERRORISTS NAMES APPEARS ON THOSE LIST ! (weird.......hum?) INSIDER TRADING: (very weird...) The documented pre-Sept. 11 insider trading that occurred before the attacks involved only companies hit hard by the attacks. They include United Airlines, American Airlines, Morgan Stanley, Merrill-Lynch, Axa Reinsurance, Marsh & McLennan, Munich Reinsurance, Swiss Reinsurance, and Citigroup. In order to argue that the massive and well-documented insider trading that occurred in at least seven countries immediately before the attacks of Sept. 11 did not serve as a warning to intelligence agencies, then it is necessary to argue that no one was aware of the trades as they were occurring, and that intelligence and law enforcement agencies of most industrialized nations do not monitor stock trades in real time to warn of impending attacks. Both assertions are false. Both assertions would also ignore the fact that the current executive vice president of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for enforcement is David Doherty, a retired CIA general counsel. And also ignored is the fact that the trading in United Airlines stock -- one of the most glaring clues -- was placed through the firm Deutschebank/Alex Brown, which was headed until 1998 by the man who is now the executive director of the CIA, A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard. One wonders if it was a coincidence then, that Mayo Shattuck III, the head of the Alex Brown unit of Deutschebank -- which had its offices in the WTC -- suddenly resigned from a million, three-year contract on Sept. 12, as reported by the New York Times and other papers. The American exchanges that handle these trades, primarily the Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) and the NYSE, know on a daily basis what levels of put options are purchased. "Put options" are highly leveraged bets, tying up blocks of stock, that a given stock's share price will fall dramatically. To quote 60 Minutes from Sept. 19, "Sources tell CBS News that the afternoon before the attack, alarm bells were sounding over unusual trading in the U.S. stock options market." It is hard to believe that they missed: - A jump in UAL put options 90 times (not 90 percent) above normal between Sept. 6 and Sept.10, and 285 times higher than average on the Thursday before the attack– [CBS News, Sept. 26] - A jump in American Airlines put options 60 times (not 60 percent) above normal on the day before the attacks. [CBS News, Sept. 26] - No similar trading occurred on any other airlines. [Bloomberg Business Report, the Institute for Counterterrorism (ICT), Herzliyya, Israel citing data from the CBOE] - Morgan Stanley saw, between Sept. 7 and Sept.10, an increase of 27 times (not 27 percent) in the purchase of put options on its shares. [ICT Report, Mechanics of Possible Bin-Laden Insider Trading Scam, Sept. 21, citing data from the CBOE]. - Merrill-Lynch saw a jump of more than 12 times the normal level of put options in the four trading days before the attacks. [Ibid] These trades were certainly noticed after the attacks. "This could very well be insider trading at the worst, most horrific, most evil use you've ever seen in your entire life…This would be one of the most extraordinary coincidences in the history of mankind if it was a coincidence," said Dylan Ratigan of Bloomberg Business News, interviewed on Good Morning Texas on Sept. 20. "'I saw put-call numbers higher than I've ever seen in 10 years of following the markets, particularly the options markets,' said John Kinnucan, principal of Broadband Research, as quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle," reported the Montreal Gazette on Sept. 19. The paper also wrote, "Agence France Presse, on Sept. 22, reported, ‘And Germany's Bundesbank chief, Ernst Weltke, said on the sidelines of the meeting that a report of the investigation showed "bizarre" fiscal transactions prior to the attacks that could not have been chalked up to coincidence. "Weltke said the transactions, ‘could not have been planned and carried out without a certain knowledge,' particularly heavy trading in oil and gold futures." ABC World News reported on Sept. 20, "Jonathan Winer, an ABC News consultant said, ‘it's absolutely unprecedented to see cases of insider trading covering the entire world from Japan, to the U.S., to North America, to Europe." How much money was involved? Andreas von Bulow, a former member of the German Parliament responsible for oversight of Germany's intelligence services estimated the worldwide amount at billion, according to Tagesspiegel on Jan. 13. Other experts have estimated the amount at billion. CBS News gave a conservative estimate of million. Not a single U.S. or foreign investigative agency has announced any arrests or developments in the investigation of these trades, the most telling evidence of foreknowledge of the attacks. This, in spite of the fact that former Security and Exchange Commission enforcement chief William McLucas told Bloomberg News that regulators would "certainly be able to track down every trade." What is striking is that a National Public Radio report on Oct. 16 reported Britain's Financial Services Authority had cleared bin Laden and his henchmen of insider trading. If not bin Laden, then who else had advance knowledge? Who else had certainty that the attacks would succeed to give them confidence to make millions of dollars in stock purchases? It has been standard and established USG policy to be alert and responsive to anything even remotely resembling an attack on U.S. companies and/or the economy. The word "remote" does not apply here. The possible claim by the Bush Administration that, ‘Gee, we just happened to miss this,' becomes even more implausible when considering the lengths intelligence agencies go to in order to track stock trades. Note that the Israeli Institute for Counter-Terrorism was the first entity to release a detailed report on the insider trading. That alone is prima facie evidence of a direct relationship between the financial markets and terrorist investigations. CIA and the Markets: We can thank Fox News on Oct. 16 for breaking post 9-11 stories disclosing the use of sophisticated PROMIS software by the FBI and the Justice Department. A multitude of court records and investigative reports have established not only the reality, but the versatility of a program initially designed to incorporate data from a variety of data bases in different languages into one readable format. PROMIS has since been refined to include artificial intelligence and "back doors" inserted by intelligence agencies to allow for surreptitious retrieval and/or removal and alteration of data. The Fox stories clearly confirmed, especially when added to stories from last summer by the Washington Times which were based on interviews with Justice Department officials, that PROMIS was used to monitor banking and financial transactions in a virtual real-time environment. However, one point is critical to this report. In the Autumn of 2000 I was visited in Los Angeles by two members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) national security staff. Many important peoples in canadian government were aware of that horrible plan from U.S government. They were conducting a major investigation inside the U.S. to determine whether or not the RCMP's version of the software had been compromised. During discussions with the Mounties, I confirmed several times that the software was used to monitor stock trades in real time. A subsequent investigation led me to contact several people in Canada who had been interviewed in the same investigation. They were stockbrokers. In a taped panel discussion, which aired March 14 on Canada's Vision-TV, I faced a panel of three Canadian experts on the issue of the 9-11 attacks. Among them was Ron Atkey, former Canadian Solicitor-General and the former parliamentary head of the committee charged with oversight of Canada's military and intelligence operations. Over the course of the program I made specific statements, relying not only on the RCMP interactions but also on previous investigations, in which it was documented that intelligence services track stock trades in real time. On camera, I produced the business cards of the two RCMP agents. Atkey, who had not hesitated to challenge me on other points during the show, went silent. INTELLIGENCE SUCCESSES Four basic intelligence successes need to be acknowledged here. These admitted successes, while not addressing any other still secret penetrations of the Al Qaeda network, further diminish any Bush Administration assertion that it did not know of the attacks.The funny part of that program is U.S government always use the Al Qaeda name to put terror on its people. The government tries to upset and to break the american people with that strategy. On Feb. 13 United Press International terrorism correspondent Richard Sale, while covering a Manhattan trial of one of Osama bin Laden's followers, reported that the National Security Agency had broken bin Laden's encrypted communications. Even if that prompted an immediate change in bin Laden's methods of communication, just six months before the attacks, the administration has consistently maintained -- and military and covert experience dictates -- that the attacks were planned for at least several years...and guess from where ! But almost nobody now in WASHINGTON really believe that Bin Laden was involved in any way with that attack !!!
-------------- Who's gathering evidence at the WTC? 00:00:00.000Candidate: President George BushForeign Firms Charged With Disposing of WTC Evidence Why did a foreign company?headed by a knight of the British Empire?manage the controversial ?clean-up? of the rubble at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon? the terror attacks of Sept. 11 were clearly criminal acts of mass murder, no effort was made to preserve the integrity of the crime scenes and the essential evidence was disposed of like garbage. The editor-in-chief of Fire Engineering magazine, WiIliam A. Manning, issued an urgent ?call to action? to America?s firefighters at the end of 2001, calling for a forensic investigation and demanding that the steel from the site be preserved to allow investigators to determine what caused the collapse. ?Such destruction of evidence,? Manning said, ?shows the astounding ignorance of government officials to the value of a thorough, scientific investigation of the largest fire-induced collapse in world history.? ?I have combed through our national standard for fire investigation, NFPA 921, but nowhere does one find an exemption allowing the destruction of evidence for buildings over 10 stories tall,? Manning said. ?Clearly, there are burning questions that need answers. Based on the incident?s magnitude alone, a full-throttle, fully resourced, forensic investigation is imperative.? Three months later, the Science Committee of the House of Representatives reported that the WTC investigation was ?hampered? by the destruction of crucial evidence. The committee report of March 6 says, ?Some of the critical pieces of steel . . . were gone before the first [investigator] ever reached the site.? The investigation Manning called for never happened and never will, because the essential evidence is now destroyed. ?The [FEMA-sponsored] building performance assessment currently being conducted of the World Trade Center is just that: an assessment, not an investigation,? Prof. Glenn Corbett of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City told the Science Committee in March. Corbett had previously called the FEMA-led investigation ?uncoordinated? and ?superficial.? ?You would think we would have the largest fire investigation in world history. You would be wrong,? Corbett wrote. ?We are literally treating the steel removed from the site like garbage, not like crucial fire scene evidence.? WHO?S IN CHARGE? The New York Times was unable to find out who was behind the destruction of evidence. On Dec. 25, 2001, the Times reported, ?Officials in the mayor?s office declined to reply to written and oral requests for comment over a three-day period about who decided to recycle the steel and the concern that the decision might be handicapping the investigation.? ?I must say that the current investigation?some would argue that ?review? is the more appropriate word ?seems to be shrouded in excessive secrecy,? said Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.). ?There are no clear lines of authority,? he said. ?No one is in charge.? Before the dust had settled on Sept. 11, the mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani, and Kenneth Holden, of the city?s Dept. of Design and Construction (DDC), contracted 4 major construction management companies to begin the removal of the debris from the World Trade Center. Three of the four major companies involved in the clean-up were foreign owned: AMEC, Bovis Lend Lease, both headquartered in London; and Turner, which is a subsidiary of Germany?s Hochtief. Only Tully Construction of Flushing, N.Y., is a truly American-owned company. Peter Tully, president of the company, was, notably, the only person willing to speak openly with AFP about his work at the WTC site. ?I was there every day,? Tully said. ?The mayor?s office and DDC called us on Sept. 11 . . . on the site we had at least three meetings a day with Ken Holden and Mike Burton.? The WTC site was initially divided into four quadrants and Tully Construction was assigned to Quadrant
I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY AMERICAN PEOPLE DOES NOT SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING... -------------------- Who Benefits? That's always the first question to consider when a “terrorist” attack occurs. Instead of clenching one's fist, waving one's flag and shouting vindictive slogans, let's just stop for a moment of calm analysis of the basic facts. When we analyze who benefits, we immediately will know with over 99% surety, who did it! What was the tone of U.S. and world opinion just a week or two before the attacks? In the U.S., the economy was lagging badly, the stock market was falling, many were questioning if the government's taxes were legal, the Gary Condit case had been poorly handled, people continued to question Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing, they questioned our support of Israel in her policies regarding the Palestinians, and the approval rate of President Bush was low. What about World Opinion? Just 8 days before the WTC/Pentagon attacks, Israel was stunned by a UN decision equating Zionism with Racism, according to Ha'aretz Daily.com. Israel was branded a “racist apartheid” state by thousands of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) attending a U.N. World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa. The conference was attended by representatives of 153 governments. The declaration, adopted by 3,000 NGOs in 44 regional and interest-based caucuses, shocked Jewish groups. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres called the anti-Israel declarations a disgrace, and said that Israel was “seriously” contemplating withdrawing from the conference in protest. The Israeli delegation to the conference blasted the language of the NGO declaration as an incitement to hatred of Jews. Jewish delegates walked out. The U.S. delegates followed. The Forum accused the Jewish state of “systematic perpetration of racist crimes including war crimes, acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing” in its treatment of the Palestinians. In addition, the head of the Danish Red Cross, Freddy Karup Pederson, told the Danish Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee that the lifestyle of Jewish settlers in the Palestinian territories resembles that of whites under the former racist apartheid system. He also criticized Israel's collective punishment of the Palestinian population. So, just 8 days before the attacks, the overwhelming attitude of the nations of the world was against Israel's policies and in support of the Arab countries' charges against Israel, a nation heavily supported by, and allied with, the U.S. What has happened to U.S. and World Opinion SINCE the attacks? Immediately AFTER the attack, public opinion was turned 180 degrees. Now the Arab countries are being demonized, the U.S. population is overwhelmingly backing the President (according to the Washington Post), urging him to punish, kill, destroy, annihilate the perpetrators of this crime, even though no one really has any proof who did it, the U.S. government is preparing for war, the U.S. and Israel have carte blanche support to bomb nearly every Arab country out of existence. No one is questioning anymore the “apartheid” policies of the Israelis against the Palestinians. War, as politicians have known throughout history, stimulates the economy and (if the propaganda is handled properly) unifies the population behind the President and squelches ALL criticism. Anyone who is not 100% behind the President is considered a traitor. President Bush in a televised Speech to Congress, urged global support for his war on terrorists, warning the world: “either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” (Washington AFP) 9-21-01 (An effective way to stifle all dissent!) If you don't go along with the plan for destruction of the Arabs advocated by the government, you become the target of threats and must have bodyguards, as California Democrat Barbara Lee has discovered.

(Reuters 9-20-01) So how come EVERYONE else knew this was going to happen? Why would the U.S. refuse to investigate when told, unless it was their own plan all along? BIG CLUE!! Why did the Towers IMPLODE instead of EXPLODE? The towers came down as gracefully as a fountain of water. “Too methodical to be a chance result of airplanes colliding with the structures” said Van Romero, vice president for research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. “My opinion is that after the airplanes hit the World Trade Center there were some explosive devices inside the buildings that caused the towers to collapse,” Romero said. Romero is a former director of the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center at Tech, which studies explosive materials and the effects of explosions on buildings, aircraft and other structures. The Towers IMPLODED! They did NOT explode! A fuel fire causes an EXplosion, not an IMplosion. Explosions explode OUT. Implosions, implode IN! IMPLOSIONS can ONLY occur with immense planning by a highly skilled group of craftsmen educated in the unique skill of demolishing buildings by strategically placing explosive devices within the building. This requires many experts, much time and significant access to the building beforehand. The skill of implosion of buildings was developed primarily to demolish buildings in areas of high building density, so the destruction of the structure will not cause damage to the surrounding buildings. In addition, the towers came down long after the planes struck. To suggest that fuel dumping from the airplanes caused a fire hot enough to melt the inner structure is ludicrous. First of all, who can prove the planes dumped all of their fuel into the core of the building? Second, why did the fuel take so long to catch fire? Third, fuel-fires cause EXplosions, NOT IMplosions! Fourth, the structure was built to withstand temperatures of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the architect and designer of the building, a man who is now deceased, but who preserved this nugget of information in an interview he recorded in 1998. Hyman Brown, a University of Colorado civil engineering professor and the World Trade Center's construction manager, watched in confusion as the towers came down. “It was over-designed to withstand almost anything including hurricanes, high winds, bombings and an airplane hitting it,” he said. (Scripps Howard News Service 9-11,01 and 9-12-01) So, why was it necessary to implode the whole structure? To eliminate evidence, just as was done to the Murrah building in Oklahoma City, before the forensic specialists could get in to examine the evidence. Just like the Branch Davidian compound at Waco was bulldozed by the government before any evidence could be examined. Conclusion: This was a highly skilled endeavor by a large group of well-trained people with access to the buildings, the airplanes and the explosives. They would have had to blend into the population and not look suspicious. Question: Who would have these qualifications? Certainly not a large group of Arab “terrorists”! Where are the “Indestructible” Black Boxes? All four Black Boxes were supposedly destroyed and rendered unusable in spite of the fact that they are designed specifically for plane crashes which result in insurmountable conditions. In fact there are reported to be TWO Black Boxes on each plane, but apparently ALL EIGHT of the Black Boxes are completely destroyed. Strange indeed! ABC News Reports: The Black Box is “ALMOST INDESTRUCTIBLE. IT IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND HEAT OF UP TO 2,000 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT FOR ONE HOUR, salt water for at least 30 days, immersion in a variety of liquids such as jet fuel and lubricants, AND AN IMPACT OF 3,400 G's. By comparison, astronauts are typically exposed to up to six Gs during a shuttle takeoff.” Yet CNN reported that “In New York, several blocks from the ruins of the World Trade Center, a passport authorities said belonged to one of the hijackers was discovered a few days ago, according to city Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik.” The paper passport apparently survived intact! The "indestructible Black Boxes were destroyed! Hmmm! Who Has Claimed Responsibility? Within HOURS after the attack the U.S. was aggressively touting Osama bin Laden as the “terrorist” responsible for this dastardly deed. As one writer to a popular website noted, “I find it laughable that the agency notorious for its inability to find a bleeding elephant in a snowbank suddenly (within hours of the attack) has the culprit pinpointed!” The media continuously whips up the public to indiscriminate hatred of almost any Arab. On radio, on TV, in the newspapers and in magazines, all one hears or reads is HATE towards Osama bin Laden, or any other Muslim. The Globe, a well-known grocery store rag, contains pictures of Osama Bin Laden with rifle “cross-hairs” targeted over his face and a soldier in fatigues pointing an automatic rifle at his head. Yet these same media outlets pompously demand the elimination of “hate!” It is USUAL and CUSTOMARY for Terrorist groups to claim responsibility for an attack. Yet no such claim has been made. Osama bin Laden says he didn't do it. “We have been blamed in the past, but we were not involved,” he said. (The Guardian - London 17-9-01) “Egyptian President Mubarak still has not seen bin Laden proof,” according to a Paris AFP report. “Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak says he has not seen any proof of Osama bin Laden being “the brains” behind the terrorist attacks on the United States and warns Washington against over-hasty reprisals, in a newspaper interview published on 9-24-01. Saddam Hussein, in a letter to the American People noted that “when the event took place, Arab rulers and the rulers of countries whose religions is Islam, rushed to condemn the event.” (Iraqi News Agency 916-01) There are even reports that Osama bin Laden has been, and may still now be, an operative of the U.S. CIA. And now, according to The Washington Post (9-25-01), The U.S. is now “Unsure” of Going Public with the “Proof” of Osama bin Laden's responsibility for the “terrorist” attack. With the U.S. public, and other nations, demanding proof, the Bush administration is hiding behind the cloak of “National Security.” Secretary of State Colin Powell promised that the U.S. “soon” would “put out a paper. . that will describe quite clearly the evidence that we have linking” bin Laden to the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. But Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla), chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said that the administration cannot present its full case “without revealing some sources and methods that we would not want to reveal.” HOW INTERESTING AND CONVENIENT FOR THEM! Now Let's Consider - Are There Other Countries, besides the Arabs, who have ever been involved in terrorism? According to the Washington Report, "In 1967 on the fourth day of the Six Day War, the armed forces of Israel attacked the American intelligence ship USS Liberty for 90 minutes in international waters in broad daylight following several hours of close, low-level reconnaissance. Thirty-four men died, 171 were hurt, and the ship was so badly damaged that it had to be scrapped. The government of Israel has lied about the circumstances ever since, telling a story markedly different from that told by American survivors. Congress has refused to question Israel's demonstrably false account. Why would Israel risk alienating its American friends? Why did Israel attack? According to eyewitness accounts by Israeli officers and journalists, the Israeli Army executed as many as 1,000 Arab prisoners during the 1967 war. Historian Gabby Bron wrote in the Yediot Ahronot in Israel that he witnessed Israeli troops executing Egyptian prisoners on the morning of June 8, 1967, in the Sinai town of El Arish, including about 150 Egyptian POWs. They made the prisoners dig their own graves then they were shot as they stood at the edge of the grave. As those executions were underway, America's most sophisticated intelligence platform, USS Liberty, was less than 13 miles from El Arish, close enough to see the town mosque with the naked eye. With binoculars one could make out individual buildings and might have seen the executions if one had looked in the right place. The attack on the USS Liberty lasted 75 minutes. It was not brief nor accidental as Israel claims. The Israelis wantonly destroyed life rafts in the water and they jammed international radio distress frequencies while Americans, who might have been saved, died! The United States is no stranger to perpetrating acts of terrorism against other countries. The U.S. bombed Iraq unmercifully during the Gulf War. Thousands of private citizens were slaughtered. Then a deadly embargo was put in place to destroy them slowly by illness and starvation. What was the crime of the common people? The U.S. CIA has also been involved in covert wars all over the globe, raping and pillaging entire economies of Central American and other countries. In addition, the U.S. is not above turning on its own citizens with vengeance. FDR Knew About Pearl Harbor: John Flynn made a sound case for Roosevelt's foreknowledge in 1946, the historian Charles Beard confirmed it in 1948 with his book FDR and the Coming of the War 1941. John Toland told the story in Infamy in the early 1980s, and John Stinnett followed with Day of Deceit. They all understood FDR's manipulation of, and complicity in, the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was done to incite the U.S. citizens to hate the Japanese and push them to support the U.S. entry into World War II. And it worked beautifully! Americans willingly gave their own lives and the lives of their sons to fight a war that had nothing to do with them. FDR knew in advance of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Not only did he refuse to stop it, he encouraged it by his manipulative treatment of Japan prior to the attack, and his stationing of ships in the Hawaiian port, an easy target for the Japanese. (Antiwar.com) It worked magnificently then - and it is working magnificently now! Other acts of violence that must be considered are: The Randy Weaver family killings by the U.S. government in Idaho, the Waco horror where the U.S. shot, bulldozed and set on fire its own citizens, and the Oklahoma bombing, where there is abundant information pointing to U.S. Government involvement . Why would a government plan an attack its own citizens, while blaming another? What would it have to gain? The answer is: EVERYTHING! Go back and review what has happened SINCE the attack: The U.S. Government has dramatically increased its control over the American population while destroying the rights of the people, a situation necessary for the takeover of the U.S. and eventually, all other countries, by the New World Order to be run by the United Nations. And they're doing it with the citizens' complete support. “The President has the power to seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, call reserve forces amounting to 2 1/2 million men to duty, institute martial law, seize and control all means of transportation, regulate all private enterprise, restrict travel, and in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of ALL Americans...While the danger of a dictatorship arising through legal means may seem remote to us today...” .

Public Opinion has overwhelming turned from support for the Arabs and against Israel, to supporting Israel and their ally, the U.S. and hatred against the Arab countries. And now the U.S. has the support of the entire nation, and much of the world, for its unrestrained unleashing of vengeance on ANY and EVERY Arab nation. But it's not surprising that the U.S. and Israel are the ONLY countries where the majority backs a military strike (Reuters 22-9-01). From Stern.Intel: Israeli Mossad Links to World Trade Center Attack: “A U.S. military intelligence source revealed details of an internal intelligence memo that points to the Israeli Mossad intelligence service having links to the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks... “The attacks have certainly turned U.S. public opinion firmly back in Israel's favor after eleven months of Palestinian uprising, heavy criticism of Israel over war crimes allegations and racism by a UN conference in Durban.” Lebanese Druze Leader Believes CIA, Mossad Responsible for U.S. Attacks!

To recover from senseless murder, we will need to perpetrate more of it,” or so says the President. So, Who's Responsible? The Answer is: Who Benefits? You figure it out!
..................
THE NEW COUPLE: MEDIAS/WHITE HOUSE : >>> While the fact that a big media outlet erased its own reporting to protect the powerful isn't a surprise (although it is still maddening), the big shock is that another tentacle of the corporate media called them on it. On 29 April 2003, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote: Did the news media feel that it was unpatriotic to question the administration's credibility? Some strange things certainly happened. For example, in September Mr. Bush cited an International Atomic Energy Agency report that he said showed that Saddam was only months from having nuclear weapons. "I don't know what more evidence we need," he said. In fact, the report said no such thing — and for a few hours the lead story on MSNBC's Web site bore the headline "White House: Bush Misstated Report on Iraq." Then the story vanished — not just from the top of the page, but from the site. White House: Bush Misstated Report on Iraq Seeking to build a case Saturday that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction, President Bush cited a satellite photograph and a report by the U.N. atomic energy agency as evidence of Iraq's impending rearmament. But in response to a report by NBC News, a senior administration official acknowledged Saturday night that the U.N. report drew no such conclusion, and a spokesman for the U.N. agency said the photograph had been misinterpreted. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair talked to reporters before opening about three hours of talks at Camp David, Bush's presidential retreat in Maryland. Blair cited a newly released satellite photo of Iraq identifying new construction at several sites linked in the past to Baghdad's development of nuclear weapons. And both leaders mentioned a 1998 report by the U.N.-affiliated International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, that said Saddam could be six months away from developing nuclear weapons. "I don't know what more evidence we need," Bush said as he greeted Blair for a brainstorming session on Iraq. "We owe it to future generations to deal with this problem." In a joint appearance before the summit, the two leaders repeated their shared view that Saddam's ouster was the only way to stop Iraq's pursuit - and potential use - of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. "The policy of inaction is not a policy we can responsibly subscribe to," Blair said as he joined Bush in trying to rally reluctant allies to deal with Saddam, perhaps by military force. IAEA: NUCLEAR ABILITY DESTROYED Contrary to Bush's claim, however, the 1998 IAEA report did not say that Iraq was six months away from developing nuclear capability, NBC News' Robert Windrem reported Saturday. Instead, Windrem reported, the Vienna, Austria-based agency said in 1998 that Iraq had been six to 24 months away from such capability before the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the U.N.-monitored weapons inspections that followed. The war and the inspections destroyed much of Iraq's nuclear infrastructure and required Iraq to turn over its highly enriched uranium and plutonium, Windrem reported. In a summary of its 1998 report, the IAEA said that "based on all credible information available to date ... the IAEA has found no indication of Iraq having achieved its programme goal of producing nuclear weapons or of Iraq having retained a physical capability for the production of weapon-useable nuclear material or having clandestinely obtained such material." WHITE HOUSE ADMITS ERROR A senior White House official acknowledged Saturday night that the 1998 report did not say what Bush claimed. "What happened was, we formed our own conclusions based on the report," the official told NBC News' Norah O'Donnell. Meanwhile, Mark Gwozdecky, a spokesman for the U.N. agency, disputed Bush's and Blair's assessment of the satellite photograph, which was first publicized Friday. Contrary to news service reports, there was no specific photo or building that aroused suspicions, he told Windrem. The photograph in question was not U.N. intelligence imaging but simply a picture from a commercial satellite imaging company, Gwozdecky said. He said that the IAEA reviewed commercial satellite imagery regularly and that, from time to time, it noticed construction at sites it had previously examined. Gwozdecky said the new construction indicated in the photograph was no surprise and that no conclusions were drawn from it. "There is not a single building we see," he said. IRAQIS MET WITH U.N. OFFICIALS Windrem reported that of all the international inspection regimes - chemical, biological, missile and nuclear - it is the U.N. inspectors who are most comfortable with Iraq's cooperation on nuclear matters. In fact, the United Nations said last week that Iraq had been in contact with U.N. representatives about a possible new round of talks on weapons inspections. A Security Council report Tuesday on the work of UNMOVIC - the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission - found that personnel from UNMOVIC and the atomic energy agency met in Vienna in July with Iraqi officials and Dr. Jaffar Jaffar, a high-level Iraqi contact on nuclear weapons issues. The head of UNMOVIC also took part in what the report called a "dialogue" between Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri. Tuesday's report stated that Sabri wrote Annan expressing "the desire of the Government of Iraq to conduct a round of technical talks" between Iraqi officials and UNMOVIC representatives to review work on inspections between May 1991 and December 1998 and to discuss other matters to be resolved "when the inspection regime returns to Iraq." Sabri extended "the offer of Iraq to take part in a further series of technical discussions" in a letter last month, the U.N. report said. U.S. officials insisted Saturday night that there was plenty of evidence nonetheless that Iraq was intent on developing weapons of mass destruction. A senior administration official told NBC News that Iraq had also tried to acquire thousands of aluminum tubes over the past 14 months that would specifically be used in developing nuclear weapons. The shipments were blocked, said the official, who would not say where they originated. "There continues to be ample evidence that Saddam Hussein has relentlessly tried to acquire and develop weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons," the official said. The tubing is needed to build gas centrifuges, which can be used to enrich uranium to weapons grade. EX-INSPECTOR DEFENDS IRAQ In another development, a former U.N. arms inspector who does not believe that Iraq is developing weapons of mass destruction, arrived in Baghdad declaring that his mission was to try to stop any war on Iraq. Scott Ritter, who arrived in Baghdad late Saturday, was expected to address the Iraqi parliament on Sunday. He was also due to meet senior Iraqi officials. Ritter said the trip was at his own initiative "As an American citizen concerned about the direction that my country is taking, I think that's the reason why I'm here." "I'm here to help set in motion a sequence of events that hopefully could prevent a war that doesn't need to be fought," he told CNN. 'A WAY FORWARD' Bush and Blair met Saturday ahead of Bush's speech Thursday to the U.N. General Assembly to find ways to stop the threat posed by Saddam. Blair said some international leaders were raising "perfectly reasonable questions" about a possible military attack on Iraq. Many U.S. and British allies are voicing doubts about a pre-emptive attack. "We've got to make sure that we work out a way forward that, of course, mobilizes the maximum support but does so on the basis of removing a threat that the United Nations itself has determined is a threat to the whole of the world," Blair said. Aides insisted that Bush had not settled on when or even whether to use a military attack or other means to accomplish that goal. Regardless, Blair - in marked contrast to other U.S. allies who have urged caution - said the United States should not have to go it alone. "I do think it's important we get the broadest possible support for what we do," Blair told reporters earlier Saturday aboard his plane. "We have always got to act lawfully, and that we will do." Things can get pretty weird down in the memory hole. It turns out that the article isn't completely gone from MSNBC. Yes, it was taken down from its main URL, and if you search for it on MSNBC's site, it doesn't turn up. But the scrubbers forgot to erase the stripped-down, text-only version for mobile-device users, located in a different part of the site. Study: Iraq could arm nukes quickly Report sharpens focus ahead of Bush's key U.N. speech Sept. 9 — Iraq could build a nuclear bomb in a matter of months if it were to obtain radioactive material from abroad but Saddam Hussein's regime currently lacks the ability to make its own nuclear material, a leading independent think-tank said Monday. The report, which also said Iraq was working to develop equipment to make bomb components, will sharpen debate over how to deal with Saddam as President Bush prepares to make a key Iraq policy speech before the United Nations later this week. JOHN CHIPMAN, co-author of a study on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction program, said the Iraqi leader is trying to build nuclear weapons. He said that the Iraqis are developing machines to make nuclear material for weapons, but would need assistance and material from foreign sources to build a nuclear bomb soon. "However, were he able to obtain fissile material from abroad, steal it or buy it in some way, we certainly believe he has the ability to put together a nuclear weapon very quickly, in a matter of months,” Chipman, director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said Monday in London at a news conference to announce the release of the report. Iraq possesses a small force of missiles capable of delivering a nuclear weapon despite international efforts to destroy such weapons, Chipman said. The report estimates Iraq has up to 12 missiles with a range of about 400 miles, which could reach Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Israel, Iran and Turkey. Iraq has also probably managed to hide some chemical and biological weapons, Chipman’s report concludes. ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE OWN MATERIAL Iraq is trying to build gas centrifuge machines that could produce weapons grade nuclear material, but is still far from success, Chipman said. "We certainly confirm that it would be difficult for him in the absence of substantial foreign assistance or the lifting of sanctions soon to be able to develop his own fissile material," he said. The study echoes the conclusions of previous assessments by the International Atomic Energy Agency as well as analysis of U.S. intelligence officials. Officials tell NBC News that there is no evidence the Iraqis are seeking fissile material on the black market. The United States has been calling for action to stop Iraq’s efforts to build weapons of mass destruction, saying Baghdad poses a threat to U.S. and international interests. Britain has pledged strong support for Washington, but most of America’s allies are hesitant, urging Bush to work through the United Nations for a political solution. BUSH LOBBIES SKEPTICAL ALLIES After meeting with Tony Blair at the presidential retreat at Camp David this weekend, Bush and the British prime minister highlighted Saddam's potential to develop nuclear weapons. British officials said on Sunday that Blair, who also warned of the “real threat” Saddam posed, had seen an advance copy of the IISS report. Bush was in Detroit Monday, meeting privately with Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien to air his concerns about Saddam and the need for a change in leadership. Chretien has expressed doubts about the need for military action, saying he has yet to see evidence that would justify Canadian support for a military campaign against Iraq. But he said in advance of the meeting that he was ready to hear Bush’s reasons. “I will see what he has to say, I will listen and we will decide,” Chretien said on Thursday. Canada has supplied special forces troops, other soldiers, ships and planes as logistical support in the U.S.-led campaign in Afghanistan. PRESIDENT MISSTATES 'FACTS' In his meeting with Blair, Bush cited a satellite photograph and a report by the U.N. atomic energy agency as evidence of Iraq's impending rearmament. However, in response to a report by NBC News, a senior administration official acknowledged Saturday night that the U.N. report drew no such conclusion, and a spokesman for the U.N. agency said the photograph had been misinterpreted. Blair cited a newly released satellite photo of Iraq identifying new construction at several sites linked in the past to Baghdad's development of nuclear weapons. And both leaders mentioned a 1998 report by the U.N.-affiliated International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, that said Saddam could be six months away from developing nuclear weapons. "I don't know what more evidence we need," Bush said, standing alongside Blair. "We owe it to future generations to deal with this problem." In a joint appearance before the summit, the two leaders repeated their shared view that Saddam's ouster was the only way to stop Iraq's pursuit — and potential use — of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. "The policy of inaction is not a policy we can responsibly subscribe to," Blair said as he joined Bush in trying to rally reluctant allies to deal with Saddam, perhaps by military force. IAEA: NUCLEAR ABILITY DESTROYED Contrary to Bush's claim, however, the 1998 IAEA report did not say that Iraq was six months away from developing nuclear capability, NBC News' Robert Windrem reported Saturday. Instead, Windrem reported, the Vienna, Austria-based agency said in 1998 that Iraq had been six to 24 months away from such capability before the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the U.N.-monitored weapons inspections that followed. The war and the inspections destroyed much of Iraq's nuclear infrastructure and required Iraq to turn over its highly enriched uranium and plutonium, Windrem reported. In a summary of its 1998 report, the IAEA said that "based on all credible information available to date ... the IAEA has found no indication of Iraq having achieved its program goal of producing nuclear weapons or of Iraq having retained a physical capability for the production of weapon-useable nuclear material or having clandestinely obtained such material." WHITE HOUSE ADMITS ERROR A senior White House official acknowledged Saturday night that the 1998 report did not say what Bush claimed. "What happened was, we formed our own conclusions based on the report," the official told NBC News' Norah O'Donnell. Meanwhile, Mark Gwozdecky, a spokesman for the U.N. agency, disputed Bush's and Blair's assessment of the satellite photograph, which was first publicized Friday. Contrary to news service reports, there was no specific photo or building that aroused suspicions, he told Windrem. The photograph in question was not U.N. intelligence imaging but simply a picture from a commercial satellite imaging company, Gwozdecky said. He said that the IAEA reviewed commercial satellite imagery regularly and that, from time to time, it noticed construction at sites it had previously examined. Gwozdecky said the new construction indicated in the photograph was no surprise and that no conclusions were drawn from it. “There is not a single building we see,” he said. IRAQIS MET WITH U.N. OFFICIALS Windrem reported that of all the international inspection regimes — chemical, biological, missile and nuclear — it is the U.N. inspectors who are most comfortable with Iraq's cooperation on nuclear matters. In fact, the United Nations said last week that Iraq had been in contact with U.N. representatives about a possible new round of talks on weapons inspections. A Security Council report Tuesday on the work of UNMOVIC — the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission — found that personnel from UNMOVIC and the atomic energy agency met in Vienna in July with Iraqi officials and Dr. Jaffar Jaffar, a high-level Iraqi contact on nuclear weapons issues. The head of UNMOVIC also took part in what the report called a “dialogue” between Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri. Tuesday's report stated that Sabri wrote Annan expressing "the desire of the Government of Iraq to conduct a round of technical talks" between Iraqi officials and UNMOVIC representatives to review work on inspections between May 1991 and December 1998 and to discuss other matters to be resolved "when the inspection regime returns to Iraq." Sabri extended “the offer of Iraq to take part in a further series of technical discussions" in a letter last month, the U.N. report said. U.S. officials insisted Saturday night that there was plenty of evidence nonetheless that Iraq was intent on developing weapons of mass destruction. A senior administration official told NBC News that Iraq had also tried to acquire thousands of aluminum tubes over the past 14 months that would specifically be used in developing nuclear weapons. The shipments were blocked, said the official, who would not say where they originated. "There continues to be ample evidence that Saddam Hussein has relentlessly tried to acquire and develop weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons," the official said. The tubing is needed to build gas centrifuges, which can be used to enrich uranium to weapons grade.
Tuesday, September 11, 2001; 4:59 PM(???) Steve Patterson, 43, said he was watching television reports of the World Trade Center being hit when he saw a silver commuter jet fly past the window of his 14th-floor apartment in Pentagon City. The plane was about 150 yards away, approaching from the west about 20 feet off the ground, Patterson said. He said the plane, which sounded like the high-pitched squeal of a fighter jet, flew over Arlington cemetary so low that he thought it was going to land on I-395. It was flying so fast that he couldn't read any writing on the side. The plane, which appeared to hold about eight to 12 people, headed straight for the Pentagon but was flying as if coming in for a landing on a nonexistent runway, Patterson said. "At first I thought 'God, there's a plane truly misrouted from National,'" "Then this thing just became part of the Pentagon ... I was watching the World Trade Center go and then this. What's next?" He said the plane, which approached the Pentagon below treetop level, seemed to be flying normally for a plane coming in for a landing other than going very fast for being so low. Then, he said, he saw the Pentagon "envelope" the plane and bright orange flames shoot out the back of the building.
