PLOTTER
INVOLVED BIN LADEN TO GAIN MORE
RESOURCES U.S.
policy on Israel key motive for effort By Terry
McDermott KHALID Shaikh Mohammed,
the man who conceived and directed the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks, was motivated by his strong
disagreement with American support for Israel, said
the final report of the Sept. 11
commission.  David
Irving comments: UH, You mean the United
States government has had two choices all
along?
(a) spend
multi-billions of dollars on
"anti-terrorism" measures around the world
that make the Americans the second most
hated people on earth, or
(b) dump Israel -- stop
supporting that "sh*tty little country" in
the Middle East (to quote France's
ambassador, later ex-ambassador, to the
UK) with billions of dollars of annual US
taxpayer money, Caterpillar bulldozers
used to flatten
young female American peace activists
and Jenin
cripples alike, and Apache helicopters
operated to murder opponents -- that's
right, the ones that the now headless
Paul Johnson was selling in Saudi
Arabia?
It all seems so simple
and obvious. Was there ever a need for the
9/11 Commission to spend even more
millions investigating the origins of Sept
11, 2001, if the real cause was so clear
that I spelled it out in my very first
9/11
anniversary editorial?
Yet how few American
newspapers have had the courage of the
Los Angeles Times, even to quote
without comment what this Commission
report states!  |
 Mohammed
conceived the initial outline of the attack six
years before its execution and brought the plan to
al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden because he
thought he did not have the resources to carry it
out on his own.
The Sept. 11 report contains the fullest
accounting of Mohammed's overarching role from
original conception to supervision of details. Bin
Laden, too, was fully involved, selecting all or
most of the participants, ordering the substance
and the location of their training, and
contributing to the timing of the attacks and the
selection of targets, the report says. The report makes a strong case that al-Qaida
accomplished the attacks without any hint of state
sponsorship. The report also appears to lay to rest
the notion, long alluded to by administration
officials including Vice President Dick
Cheney, that hijacker Mohamed Atta
traveled to the Czech Republic to meet an Iraqi
intelligence operative in the spring of 2001. In addition to repeating evidence that Atta was
in the United States at the time, the report
revealed that the Iraqi agent was not in Prague
either when the meeting was alleged to have
occurred. Much of the report's detail comes from
interrogations of al-Qaida operatives in U.S.
custody, including Mohammed and Ramzi
Binalshibh. Some of that information is
contradictory; much of it is difficult to
corroborate. One CIA analysis cited in the report,
for example, is titled "Khalid Shaykh Muhammed's
Threat Reporting -- Precious Truths, Surrounded by
a Bodyguard of Lies."
