Was the Pentagon tracking Atta just days before the attacks?
Daniel Hopsicker, Sept 19

On August 6, 2001, the same day Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi returned to Venice after renting a car at Warrick's RentaCar in Pompano Beach, FL, and picking up Siad Al-Jarrah at the airport in Miami, the MadCowMorningNews has learned that a self-described former NAVY SEAL named Joe Gesell applied for and was hired as the night driver (they only need one) at Venice Yellow Cab.

Gesell squired Atta around Venice and Sarasota in his cab on a number of occasions. What raises suspicions that he may have been working for more than just tips is this: after starting his new job on the day of Atta’s return, Gesell quit a month later, just one day after Atta left town for the last time.

On Friday, Sept. 14, three days after the Sept. 11 attack, cab driver Bob Simpson, the day driver for Venice Yellow Cab at the time, was contacted by the FBI. According to Simpson, the FBI was intent on finding and interviewing Gesell.

...

“I said yes, I recognized Mohamed Atta,’” Simpson continued. “I told him, ‘I’m the day driver for Yellow Cab in Venice, and he was in my cab a bunch of times in August, 2001. The night driver had him even more than I did.’” The Yellow Cab office manager in Sarasota confirmed that the FBI expressed a keen interest in cab rides Atta took with Gesell.

1. Atta was hired by the PNAC via the ISI, there is a paper trail that
shows Atta was hired by the ISI; the ISI is an organization developed by the CIA; and they have always worked closely with each other.

Kinda like those brits they caught last weekend in Iraq. Same kinda thing; covert ops, black ops, etc.

My point is, of course they were watching him. They used the ISI to hire him, and were checking his movements to figure out when he was making his move.

He didn't know he was employed by the shadow government of the USA though....
