As detailed by Coleen Rowley, a senior FBI agent in the Minneapolis office, they required approval from FBI Headquarters and the Department of Justice, before they could seek a warrant from the United States Attorney's Office in Minnesota.
Incredibly, FBI headquarters turned down the request. As detailed by Rowley in a 13 page memo sent to FBI Director Mueller, FBI officials in fact altered and deleted critical information from Rowley's request and purposefully sabotaged it so that a warrant would not and could not be issued.
What makes the behavior of FBI headquarters even more outrageous is that they and the CIA were on heightened alert and had just received a report from Israel's intelligence services which warned that as many as 200 terrorists linked to Osama bin Laden had slipped into the country and were preparing to launch a major assault on the United States. Moreover, the previous month, "terrorism czar" Richard Clarke issued a "superalert" and warned FBI, aviation and INS officials that "something really spectacular" was in the works and that the U.S. would soon be attacked and that U.S. aircraft might be hijacked as part of a coordinated terrorist assault.
"Everybody knew about a heightened alert, and knew that bin Laden was preparing a big attack," admitted an administration official on conditions of anonymity. In fact, George W. Bush and other security officials had received a memorandum in August which explicitly stated that bin Laden and al-Qaeda were about to launch an attack. Bush responded to this threat by leaving Washington and returning to his ranch in Texas where he hid out for the next four weeks. Bush repeated this performance on 9/11, abandoning Washington for Florida prior to the attack, after which he hid out in an atomic bomb-proof shelter.
When informed that the warrant request had been altered and then denied, FBI agents in the Minneapolis field office were shocked and outraged as they were convinced an attack was about to take place and that Moussaoui was the key to preventing it. In fact, given the widespread knowledge that the U.S. was about to be attacked and that commercial jets would be employed, the roadblocks erected by FBI headquarters seem incredibly suspicious to these agents. Some of the Minneapolis field agents even began to suggest that top FBI officials were acting as "accomplices" to al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
Undaunted by the roadblocks erected by top FBI officials, and convinced that a major assault on the U.S. would soon be launched and that information that would enable our government to thwart that attack could be found in Moussaoui's computer, Minneapolis agents "desperately" sought help from the CIA. However, instead of assisting, CIA officials reported the agents to FBI headquarters which then proceeded to threaten and chastise them.
According to Rowley, top officials in the FBI were obviously determined to sabotage, disrupt, block, and prevent access to Moussaoui's computer.
And why was that?
Following 9/11, a search warrant was finally issued, and specific details pertaining to the 9/11 terrorist attack was found--information that would have enabled the U.S. government to prevent the attack if it has been uncovered prior to 9/11. Moussaoui, it is now believed, was to be the "20th" hijacker.
The Minneapolis field office was not alone in these failed and sabotaged attempts to prevent this catastrophe. In July of 2001, Phoenix FBI agent, Kenneth Williams, had concluded a painstaking investigation and had uncovered detailed information that linked a number of Middle Eastern flight students to Osama bin Laden and to a radical British Islamic group, Al-Muhajiroun.
Williams became alarmed and sought to warn FBI headquarters because eight of these Middle Eastern men were not only receiving flight training but had sought information about airport security. Moreover, he discovered that one of the flight school students had communicated with Abu Zubaydah, one of bin Laden's top aides.
In July of 2001, just two months before the 9/11 attack, Williams prepared a secret memorandum which named names and detailed his suspicions and which recommended that the FBI immediately begin canvassing flight schools in order to identify any suspected terrorists. Williams' memo and suggestions were sent to and then rejected by the very same FBI officials in the FBI headquarters who weeks later would alter and turn down the warrant requested by the Minneapolis offices.
Inexplicably and completely contrary to established protocol, neither the Phoenix or Minnesota FBI field offices were informed that each had independently developed information suggesting that commercial jets might soon be hijacked and crashed into U.S. cities. The alteration and deletion of information contained in the Minnesota warrant request was also a direct violation of FBI regulations.
FBI agents in Minnesota, however, were so convinced that an attack would soon take place, that they rewrote the warrant applications only to again have information removed and deleted; an action which insured the warrant would again be rejected and that terrorists could successfully carry out the 9/11 attack.
The events of and leading up to 9/11 was not just a crime but a horrific tragedy. [Planned and carried out by wolves in sheep's clothing who continue to pull the wool over the eyes of the sheeple - CR]
Why did this happen?
"Who benefits?" is one of the first questions that should be answered when a crime of this magnitude is committed.
Another question that deserves a detailed answer "If they knew in advance, why would top officials in the FBI, CIA, and Bush administration allow this tragedy to take place?"
These questions have the same probable answer
The 9/11 tragedy and mass murder of 3000 Americans would transform an unpopular and inept president into a war time leader who could not only claim unprecedented power, but whose administration could then successfully threaten, intimidate, and prevent anyone from uncovering the complicity of the FBI, CIA, and the Bush administration in this horrific assault on America.
Immediately following 9/11, and after he emerged from hiding, President Bush lavishly praised his accomplices in the FBI and warned off those who might dare to question or criticize the agency. Moreover, although he had grounded all commercial and private jets, he made one critical exception The bin Laden family, with whom he and his father had personal and financial ties, were allowed to escape questioning and the U.S. and to fly back to Saudi Arabia.
Both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney also began threatening those who were suggesting that the events leading up to 9/11 should have been anticipated, and both Bush and Cheney urged Senate and House Republican leaders and Democratic Majority Leader Tom Daschle to block any investigation into the events of Sept. 11.
Why would they do that? What are they afraid of?
We believe the answer is obvious.
The cover up began well before 9/11. The cover up continues to this day.
