FBI Intelligence Work in Sept. 11 Faulted in Report (Update1)
Bloomberg.com Thu, 09 Jun 2005 10:18 AM PDT
U.S. June 9 (Bloomberg) -- The FBI's ``widespread and longstanding deficiencies'' contributed to the U.S.'s failure to stop the Sept. 11 terror plot, according to a report by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine.

Report Criticizes FBI Office In San Diego
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ibsys/20050609/lo_kgtv/2764714
Thu Jun 9, 3:25 PM ET
The
FBI office in San Diego focused too much attention on drug probes before the 9/11 terror strikes and not enough on terrorism, according to a report by the
Justice Department's inspector general.
The report says the local FBI office failed to intercept two 9/11 hijackers before the attacks, even though two of the terrorists lived with an FBI informant and were befriended by a subject of a previous FBI investigation, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Thursday.
"Despite the fact that FBI headquarters had established counterterrorism as a top priority of the FBI in 1998, the San Diego field office was continuing to pursue drug trafficking as its top priority in 2001," the report stated.
The report cited the hijackers' association with two people known to the FBI -- Omar al-Bayoumi, the friend who helped them find their first apartment in San Diego and who introduced them to the local Muslim community, and an FBI "asset," Abdussattar Shaikh, from whom they rented a room, the newspaper reported.
The two hijackers, Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid al-Midhar, spent most of 2000 in San Diego County, at one point taking flying lessons at Montgomery Field. They helped take over the plane that crashed into the
Pentagon.
"The time that (Alhazmi and al-Midhar) spent in San Diego was an opportunity during which the FBI could have obtained information about them but did not," the report stated. "In sum, we believe (the hijackers') presence in San Diego should have drawn some scrutiny."
The report said the San Diego FBI office pursued drug traffickers, white collar criminals and violent criminals at the expense of pursuing counterterrorism leads as requested by FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Sibel Edmonds' Case for Government Transparency and Accountability
http://www.justacitizen.com/
INTRODUCTION: Sibel Edmonds and Behrooz Sarshar, beginning in December of 2001, began filing reports to their superiors at the FBI. These reports could lead to the collapse of a corrupt power structure that has a stranglehold on the very institutions that are obligated to control it. We cannot excuse these institutions, for while they fiddle, they pass death sentences on their own troops, and on the people of Afghanistan and Iraq.
On April 30th, Sibel Edmonds was my guest for 50 minutes on WGDR radio. What follows is an edited transcript of the interview. The editing is for the sake of a more readable piece.
Sibel Edmonds is a former FBI translator. She blew the whistle on the cover-up of intelligence that names some of the culprits who orchestrated the 9/11 attacks. These culprits are protected by the Justice Department, the State Department, the FBI, the White House and the Senate Judiciary Committee. They are foreign nationals and Americans. Ms. Edmonds is under two gag orders that forbid her to testify in court or mention the names of the people or the countries involved.
"If they were to do real investigations we would see several significant high level criminal prosecutions in this country. And that is something that they are not going to let out. And, believe me; they will do everything to cover this up."

Two things, however, are disturbing about the Vreeland case. In terms of media coverage, citizen-reporter Michael C. Ruppert has emerged to become Vreeland's leading advocate. But the sinister use to which Ruppert puts Vreeland's testimony must be called into question. While Vreeland clearly indicated to me that Sept. 11 was a Russian-supported Iraqi-Al Qaeda operation, Ruppert's articles argue that Sept. 11 was a U.S. or CIA operation. In addition, Ruppert is a person who has been warmly embraced by leading figures in Moscow, where he has been invited to speak and fraternize. Snuggling up to Vreeland, allegedly dictating Vreeland's choice of legal representation in the United States, Ruppert willingly ignores the fact that Vreeland's information points to Kremlin foreknowledge and connivance in the events of Sept. 11 - not to U.S. connivance.

Just to let you know that I spoke to Vreeland today. He's angry that Nyquist never identified himself as a journalist during their talk. Vreeland also denied making the statements Nyquist attributed to him. I'll have a REAL Vreeland story out tomorrow and you can post that alongside Nyquist's garbage. Vreeland told me today that Nyquist has violated the National Security Act of 1947 and that he is contemplating legal action against him.
BTW, Nyquist is flat wrong about Vreeland's US legal representation. He has none. And I have had no role of any kind in how Vreeland has obtained his only lawyers, who are in Canada. He had them before I met him.
Yeah, I went to Russia. Bought my own plane ticket. Paid for my hotel room. Covered an economic conference attended by people from about eight countries and spoke for about ten minutes: as did almost everyone else there. And yes, I must admit that while in Moscow I did meet some Russians. That happens to be where they live. I don't know that I was a close confidant of Putin or any leaders. The only one I shook hands with was Zhirinovsky to whom I was introduced at a break.
I'm going to Australia in May. Maybe I'm an Australian spy, too! I was just in Canada and appeared on TV with Canada's former Solicitor General and the MP who has oversight responsibility for Canadian Intelligence. Maybe I'm a Canadian spy as well!
Best,
Mike

FBI Ignored '98 Warning of Arab Pilots
http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2002/5/29/205145
Phoenix memo redux: The FBI admitted today
that it ignored one of its own pilots who
expressed concerns in 1998 about Arab men
seeking flight training in Oklahoma.
The FBI pilot told his supervisor in Oklahoma
City "that he has observed large numbers of
Middle Eastern males receiving flight training
at Oklahoma airports in recent months,"
according to the memo. The pilot warned that
"this is a recent phenomenon and may be
related to planned terrorist activity." He
"speculates that light planes would be an
ideal means of spreading chemical or
biological agents."
The FBI memo, dated May 18, 1998, was marked
"routine" and never forwarded to headquarters.
FBI Director Robert Mueller also disclosed a
second clue today that he said might be
relevant to the investigation into the
September hijackings: A Middle Eastern country
where U.S. shipments are restricted sought
unsuccessfully before Sept. 11 to buy a
commercial flight simulator.
The FBI refused to identify the country but
claimed it was not one publicly connected to
Sept. 11. It said the information came from
another U.S. agency that it would not
identify.
Asked whether investigators might discover
more clues already in their possession hinting
at suicide hijackings, Mueller said, "There
may be others out there."
He expressed regret about FBI headquarters
bungling a warning from its Phoenix office
about the large number of Arabs seeking pilot,
security and airport operations training at a
U.S. flight school. He said midlevel FBI
bureaucrats should have immediately given the
memo to top officials.
"There were a number of things that
organizationally should have happened,"
Mueller said.
He said he did not learn about that memo until
after Sept. 14, when he asserted at a news
conference: "The fact that there were a number
of individuals that happened to have received
training at flight schools is news, quite
obviously. If we had understood that to be the
case, we would have - perhaps one could have
averted this."
=========================================================================
No more secrets, no more lies.
Start with yourself, and let it radiate outward.
And visit the Whatzit.
NO PLANE hit WTC 1 either.
It was all a carefully constructed fairytale to hoodwink us, the
whole 911 story sham.
If the secret government has technology to make a Whatzit, and
make it fairly Stealth except in Smoke, there's no reason we
should have an energy crisis except so they can continue to
parasite off us and extort our lives.
