Who Aided Hijackers Is Still Mystery
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1802&ncid=1802&e=5&u=/washpost/20030911/ts_washpost/a51669_2003sep9

Two years after al Qaeda terrorists slammed jetliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, FBI and congressional investigators remain deeply divided over whether the 19 hijackers received help from other al Qaeda operatives inside the United States and still are unable to answer some of the central questions in the case.

The uncertainties persist despite the largest FBI investigation in U.S. history -- which has included 180,000 interviews and 7,000 agents -- and raise the possibility that Americans will never know precisely how the conspirators were able to pull off the most devastating terrorist attacks in U.S. history.

"We know quite a bit about the attacks," FBI counterterrorism chief Larry Mefford said last week. "Unfortunately, we don't know everything."

Some of the doubts surround intriguing details: Investigators still have no firm grasp on why the hijacker pilots booked layovers in Las Vegas during apparent practice runs on commercial airliners in 2001. Authorities also have found no definitive explanation for why ringleader Mohamed Atta and another hijacker, Abdulaziz Alomari, began their suicidal journey on Sept. 11, 2001, with a seemingly risky commuter flight from Portland, Maine, to Boston -- coming within minutes of missing their flights out of both cities. And what exactly was discussed at a pivotal meeting in Kuala Lumpur in January 2000, where investigators believe -- but cannot prove -- that the Sept. 11 plot was put in motion?

And come to think of it, if we had had a tax cut in time, it could have been prevented.

7. Since when is powell known for telling the truth? And OBL clearly said he

Oddly, I believe OBL before I believe powell.

6. Sometimes mysteries can be solved
if you just ask the right person. Abdullah bin Laden, for instance.

10. 40 people ID'd as supporters? what happened?
On September 13, 2001, Ashcroft said 40-50 people had been identified as supporters of the hijackers. 40 men had been accounted for and 10 were still at large.

However, no one has yet been charged with assisting the hijackers. In fact, not one of these 50 men has been publicly identified. Why not?

What happened to these guys?

Let's hope they received the appropriate justice in this case--a 45 caliber round to the forehead. All terrorsists--rightwing or leftwing must be eradicated. By any means available and necessary.

9. With a Saudi-loving somnambulent moron in the House
it's not hard to figure out who helped them out. Bush did by virtue of his clueless attitude towards terrorism.
as DK would say: HELLO!!! Once the horse is out of the barn it's easy to know which barn door was unlocked.
Hindsight is 20/20.
Bush is guilty of gross negligence.

14. Well one would think that somehow Wallace J. Hilliard figures into this.
Wally is a retired businessman that hails originally from Green Bay, WI. He took direction of American Medical Security/AMS and expanded into 32 state with over $1bn in premiums.

He used some of his earnings to expand into private and commercial aviation like VisionAire, Discover Air and Huffman Aviation which ran the flight training schools attended by Atta and the other hijackers.

Wally is a friend of Rudi Dekkers and Arne Kruihof, I think he is a spook, he is a huge PNAC supporter along with the Bradley's of Milwaukee.

BTW, there was a fatal crash of a private aircraft into the Morning Glory Diary on April 2, 2001 from Austin Straubel International Airport in Ashwaubenon, WI. a suburb of Green Bay, the fire raged on and on and on.
