Dear Rabbi Scheidt,
Once again you are right, this time in calling the 1993 "terrorist attack" on the World Trade Center a "sting operation" that went bad.
The real perpetrators are very likely the kind of people who thrive on bad news about Arabs and who have the ability to cultivate and frame patsies, even down to the last detail of a well-placed deodorant commercial. Let us not forget that Jim Garrison discovered Lee Harvey Oswald impersonators in New Orleans as far back as the same month in 1960 that John F. Kennedy took his oath of office as president of the USA, when the real Oswald was still in Russia! Whoever these evil people are, they are capable of taking the "long view" and have full confidence that time and whoever writes the history are on their side.
Let us all remember that the accused and convicted perpetrators of the the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center denied involvement, which is certainly atypical of fanatics with a cause. No judge who is honest could say to himself that he provided and maintained a level playing field during a trial in which the jury did not have a real clue about the government's agent provocateur, Emad Salem. But a successful appeal would expose the corrupt officials who led a dry run for 9/11. The TWA Flight 800 shootdown was another dry run where the fungus among us learned how far they could go in keeping nearly 2,000 eyewitness testimonies of a missile rising and striking Flight 800 out of their final report. All this was a prelude to what happened on 9/11.
As dismal as all this sounds, it is nevertheless a step forward when you see the problem whole and clear. Let us keep in mind that that lion of a lawyer who prevailed in the case against the 1993 WTC "terrorists" whose defense was woefully inadequate to handle the implications of a government informant acting hand in hand with the accused was none other than Patrick Fitzgerald who has been keeping his finger in the dyke of the Mrs. Wilson case these past few years. For the fungus among us, he appears to be quite a reliable fellow.
