MSNBC / NEWSWEEK MAGAZINE:
full article: http://tinyurl.com/5q282 EXCERPT: Alleged Hijackers May Have Trained at U.S. Bases. The Pentagon has turned over military records on five men to the FBI Sept. 15 — U.S. military sources have given the FBI information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the planes that were used in Tuesday’s terror attacks received training at SECURE U.S. MILITARY INSTALLATIONS in the 1990s. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The following is information concerning the trial of Zacarias Moussaui: Media Misrepresentation of Moussaui Trial ************************************ It should be exposed that Colleen Rowley, who wound up as one of three "Women of the Year" for her whistleblowing action as an FBI field agent, tried to alert her FBI superiors that Moussaui was exhibiting suspicious behavior at his flight school. She tried to get a FISA warrant granted to see what was on his laptop computer. However, Marion "Spike" Bowman and John Ashcroft made sure that didn't happen. From the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, MN on 12/21/02 http://www.startribune.com/462/story/29467.html The Star Tribune's Greg Gordon reported last week that at a quiet little ceremony earlier this month, Marion (Spike) Bowman was one of nine people in the bureau to receive an award for "exceptional performance." The award carries with it a cash bonus of 20 to 35 percent of the recipient's salary and a framed certificate signed by the president. What does this have to do with Rowley? Bowman heads the FBI's National Security Law Unit. That's the unit that blocked Minneapolis agents from pursuing their suspicions about Moussaoui. Bowman received the big pats on the back (and cash) a few days before the House and Senate Intelligence committees turned in their reports of pre-Sept. 11 intelligence failures. From an article by AP on 6/2/05 titled "Moussaoui Is Symbol of Missed Clues" ....public interest in Moussaoui, who wants to fire his court-appointed lawyers and represent himself, only grew after the FBI counsel in the bureau's Minnesota field office wrote a scathing May 21 letter alleging that headquarters officials thwarted local efforts to search Moussaoui's computer in the weeks before the terrorist attacks. ``The Minneapolis agents who responded to the call about Moussaoui's flight training identified him as a terrorist threat from a very early point,'' Coleen Rowley wrote FBI Director Robert Mueller. Mueller, in announcing a major FBI reorganization, acknowledged last week that agents could have been on the trail of the hijackers if they had pieced together several clues: Moussaoui's desire to learn to fly big jets, and at least two other memos about Middle Easterners taking flight training. From a Reuters article on 4/21/05 by James Vicini He said the purpose of his plot was to free the blind Sheikh Omar Abdel- Rahman, who is in prison in the United States after being found guilty of terrorism charges which predated Sept. 11. But Mr. MacMahon attacked the government's argument that had Mr. Moussaoui spoken truthfully of what he knew when he was arrested it would have prevented the attacks. He cited the official commission that investigated the attacks and found the government had several indications of Al Qaeda's plans before that day. The report found that the authorities never fully appreciated the significance of some of the leads. From a Reuters article on 3/7/06 by Niel Lewis Mr. Moussaoui's actual role in the Sept. 11 attacks has remained an intriguing mystery to investigators. The official commission that studied the attacks concluded that Qaeda leaders might have considered using him as "a potential substitute pilot" on Sept. 11 because of friction among other participants, but that his arrest scuttled that possibility. The commission also speculated that he might have been meant to be part of a second wave of attacks and noted that Al Qaeda spent some $50,000 on his training. From a Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, April 23, 2005; Page A11 "If we thought by the end of the day we would find the holy grail as to exactly what the genesis of 9/11 was and what Moussaoui's role in it was, we have been sorely disappointed," said Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert who heads the Washington office of the Rand Corp. "This contradiction in his behavior raises more questions than it answers. The book still isn't closed on 9/11, I'm afraid." From Time Magazine, May 21, 2002, the 13 page memo The e-mail communications between Minneapolis and FBIHQ, however, speak for themselves and there are far better witnesses than me who can provide their first hand knowledge of these events characterized in one Minneapolis agent's e-mail as FBIHQ is "setting this up for failure." US knew about al Qaeda in 1990s, FBI agent says, By Deborah Charles Tue Mar 7, Reuters FBI agent Michael Anticev said in testimony at a sentencing trial for September 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui that the U.S. government knew by the mid 1990s that there were several al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and other countries. From Lori Van Auken testimony at the July 22nd Congressional Briefing: The 9/11 Commission Report One Year Later ? A Citizens? Response ? Did They Get It Right? http://www.gnn.tv/blogs/11995/Lorie_..._22nd_2005?r=5 FBI supervisor David Frasca and his underling, Michael Maltbie failed to permit FBI agents to request a FISA warrant for Moussaoui but also altered the agent?s initial request for it. Specifically, on August 28th, 2001, Maltbie edited the Minnesota FBI?s request for a FISA warrant to search Zacarias Moussaoui?s possessions. The Minnesota FBI?s field office wanted to prove that Moussaoui was connected to Al Qaeda through a rebel group in Chechnya. But the RFU agent Maltbie removed the information connecting the Chechen rebels to Al Qaeda. Subsequently, the FBI General Counsel who received the edited request, scrubbed clean of any international terrorist ties, decided that there wasn?t enough of a connection between Moussaoui and Al Qaeda to allow for an application for a search warrant through FISA. ....In essence, the Moussaoui case was actual confirmation of the Phoenix Memo?s prediction. And it was these same men, Frasca and Maltbie, who not only thrwarted the efforts of FBI agents to get a FISA warrant to search Moussaoui?s belongings, including his laptop, that had information leading to other 9/11 hijackers, but it was also Frasca and Maltbie who tampered with the papers requesting a FISA warrant. ....how could the Commission fail to mention that is was these two men, David Frasca and Michael Maltbie, at the FBI?s Radical Fundamentalist Unit, who received the Phoenix Memo and then thwarted attempts to acquire a FISA warrant for Moussauoui?s computer? How could the Commission remain silent on this matter when these men, Frasca and Maltbie, have since been promoted within the FBI? From Accuracy in Media:Will Rowley's Wake-Up Call Produce a Shake Up? Aug. 2, 2002 http://www.aim.org/aim_report/A459_0_4_0_C/ Coleen Rowley asserted that by August 17, the Minneapolis FBI field office had concluded that Moussaoui represented a "terrorist threat." She said his arrest by the Immigration and Naturalization Service on August 15 was hardly a coincidence. She implied that it was done at the FBI's request to prevent Moussaoui from fleeing or committing terrorist acts. She said that French intelligence had confirmed that Moussaoui was affiliated with radical fundamentalist Islamist groups and activities connected to Osama bin Laden. From FISA OVERSIGHT: A CASE STUDY OF THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE FBI http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/?&dbname=cp108 &sid=cp1084y7aI&refer=&r_n=sr040.108&item=&sel=TOC _74689 & In her letter, SA Rowley detailed the problems the Minneapolis agents had in dealing with FBI Headquarters in their unsuccessful attempts to seek a FISA warrant for the search of Moussaoui's lap top computer and other personal belongings. These attempts proved fruitless, and Moussaoui's computer and personal belongings were not searched until September 11th, 2001, when the Minneapolis agents were able to obtain a criminal search warrant after the attacks of that date. According to SA Rowley, with the exception of the fact of those attacks, the information presented in the warrant application establishing probable cause for the criminal search warrant was exactly the same as the facts that FBI Headquarters earlier had deemed inadequate to obtain a FISA search warrant. Agent: FBI Rewrote Moussaoui Request http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/LUM205A.html Officials familiar with Rowley's memo, speaking on condition of anonymity, said she alleged FBI headquarters terrorism supervisors rewrote the Minnesota office's warrant applications and affidavit and removed intelligence about Moussaoui before sending them to a legal office that then rejected them as insufficient. She alleged that some of the revisions "downplayed" the significance of some intelligence linking Moussaoui to Islamic extremists, and blamed the changes on a flawed communication process.

Say a British guy with the name Paul Jones, DOB 7/27/80 was one of the "hijackers" of 9/11 Now, let say the military has records showing that Paul Joans, DOB 4/12/65 had received training at NAS Pensacola in the summer of 1993. Would you think was the same "hijacker"? Maybe you want to go back and actually READ that article, because this is what the military response indicated. The names were similar and the birthdates were wrong. One was wrong by 20 years. In addition, you previously stated the "hijackers" did not know how to fly. Now you are claiming they were trained at Naval Air Station Pensacola. Did they also do carrier landings from Beeville, TX? Do you know the meaning of Fox Corpen? What's is COD? What's a RIO? Can you identify the following aircraft by nickname? Intruder Tomcat Firefox Zero Foxbat Phantom |

Yeah, even Clint Eastwood would know the fake. ![]() Intruder A-6 Tomcat F-14 Phantom F-4 Foxbat MIG-25 Firefox MIG-31 (Fake, not to be confused with the real MIG-31 Foxhound, they are not alike) Zero Mitsubushi A6M Fox Corpen - Flight Course - Course needed to give required headwind (30 knots, as I recall) to launch aircraft. If they had trained for deck landings before Nov 1991, they would have used USS Lexington - CV 16. I don't know about '91, but in 1981 it was computed by hand using a manuevering board. I only spent 2 weeks onboard while my own ship was stuck in port all summer as the reservists gone to South America. My ship, DD-827 was a reserve destroyer (also ported in P'Cola) that was sold to Turkey and sailed up to Newport RI for the transfer early in 1982. By March 1982 I was on a new FFG headed for Gilbraltar. We then left on a missle exercise with the British. Due to the events of that time, the exercise was cut short as the Brits had somewhere else to go. |

Alleged Hijackers May Have Trained at U.S. Bases.
The Pentagon has turned over military records on five men to the FBI Sept. 15 - U.S. military sources have given the FBI information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the planes that were used in Tuesday's terror attacks received training at SECURE U.S. MILITARY INSTALLATIONS in the 1990s. Laughable. And by now well discredited by legitimate news sources. One has to wonder why Newsweek would harm their reputation - already in a sprial into the toilet - by the simple failure of reviewing the whole range of information regarding this claim. |
