It has become obvious that Chimpy's Liberty Library Tower terror story was rushed out as a defense of his illegal warrantless spying without much thought beforehand by the Bush Assministration.
................
The report quoted Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the reputed Sept. 11 mastermind who was captured in 2003, as saying "three potential pilots were recruited for the alleged second wave." It identified them as Moussaoui, Jdey and Zaini.
The AP contradicts Townsend by reporting that one of the alleged cell members, Abderraouf Jdey, remains at large. A second suspect, Zaini Zakaria, "pulled out of the plot after seeing the carnage at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon" while a third "cell member" was Zacharias Moussaoui who was detained by the FBI on August 16, 2001. Therefore Townsend's claim that the plot was disrupted when the "cell leader" was arrested in February 2002 just doesn't wash. One "cell member" (Moussaoui) had been detained six months prior to that arrest while a second (Zakaria) pulled out shortly after the September 11th attacks.
This "plot" fell apart on its own, it's hardly a shining example of how Dear Leader bravely protected America from the awful terrorists.
