Secret Service people died in WTC7?

[John Doe II]

The article of Prison Planet says:

We know for a fact that although the building had been evacuated there were still secret service personel in the building who died when it collapsed. They weren’t told to evacuate.

6. NYT Article: Secret C.I.A. Site in New York Was Destroyed on Sept. 11

http://www.geocities.com/streakingobject/07CIA.html

By JAMES RISEN The New York Times ---- November 4, 2001

WASHINGTON, Nov.. 3 — The Central Intelligence Agency's clandestine New York station was destroyed in the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center, seriously disrupting United States intelligence operations while bringing the war on terrorism dangerously close to home for America's spy agency, government officials say.

The C.I.A.'s undercover New York station was in the 47-story building at 7 World Trade Center, one of the smaller office towers destroyed in the aftermath of the collapse of the twin towers that morning.All of the agency's employees at the site were safely evacuated soon after the hijacked planes hit the twin towers, the officials said. The intelligence agency's employees were able to watch from their office windows while the twin towers burned just before they evacuated their own building.

Immediately after the attack, the C.I.A. dispatched a special team to scour the rubble in search of secret documents and intelligence reports that had been stored in the New York station, either on paper or in computers, officials said. It could not be learned whether the agency was successful in retrieving its classified records from the wreckage. A C.I.A. spokesman declined to comment.

The agency's New York station was behind the false front of another federal organization, which intelligence officials requested that The Times not identify. The station was, among other things, a base of operations to spy on and recruit foreign diplomats stationed at the United Nations, while debriefing selected American business executives and others willing to talk to the C.I.A. after returning from overseas. The agency's officers in New York often work undercover, posing as diplomats and business executives, among other things, depending on the nature of their intelligence operations.

7. With friends like these...

So, as reported by no less august an organ than the NYT, there was a huge team of paid liars and spies (their secrecy guaranteed by law) working "behind the false front of another federal organization" in a massive steel-framed building that collapsed for no discernible reason just a few hundred yard from the Twin Towers.

Good to know they all got out safely.

8. Welcome, Bismillah

And the 911 Commission had nothing at all to say about WTC7, which in itself is pretty strange.

I'm not sure if the NYT article is accurate or not. :shrug:

9. The presence of the CIA office in WTC7 gives a perfect excuse

for the hyper-security of the whole site during the cleanup of ground zero, come to think of it.

10. With friends like these...

So - as reported by no less august an organ than the NYT - there was a huge team of highly-paid liars and spies (their secrecy guaranteed by law) working incognito "behind the false front of another federal organization" (unnamed) in a massive steel-framed building that collapsed for no discernible reason just a few hundred yard from the Twin Towers.

Anyway, only a conspiracy theorist would wonder what they were up to, and it's good to know they all got out safely. Now, nearly four years later, Porter Goss has "an excellent idea" where Osama bin Laden and his dialysis machine are hiding. He just can't do anything about it, the poor guy. Boy, he must be itching to get his hands on him.

11. Pardon the double post - and "undeterred" makes an excellent point:

"The presence of the CIA office in WTC7 gives a perfect excuse
for the hyper-security of the whole site during the cleanup of ground zero, come to think of it."

Yes. But of course that excuse has never been publicly given, and never will be. I've long felt that the true sickness of the US is the cancerous growth of government secrecy since WWII. (Britain, of course, is even more of a cryptocracy, but a hell of a lot less powerful, so it matters less.)

17. Venceremos!

Thanks, Spooked. I've been lurking on this board for some time, and you guys have posted some fascinating material.

I have a strong impression that skepticism is growing, and gradually becoming "respectable". Here's to a renaissance of grass-roots democracy on the fourth anniversary of 9/11.

Truth out!

13. What a great find! Thanks!

16. The "Secret Service" is not part of the CIA is it?

Prison Planet is referring to Secret Serice, and the NYT article to CIA. How are these two agencies related (if at all)?

Today, the Secret Service is authorized by law to protect:
* the President, the Vice President, (or other individuals next in order of succession to the Office of the President), the President-elect and Vice President-elect;
* the immediate families of the above individuals;
* former Presidents, their spouses for their lifetimes, except when the spouse re-marries. In 1997, Congressional legislation became effective limiting Secret Service protection to former Presidents for a period of not more than 10 years from the date the former President leaves office.
* children of former presidents until age 16;
* visiting heads of foreign states or governments and their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad;
* major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, and their spouses within 120 days of a general Presidential election.
