Priest, The Washington Post, 12/9/2004]
So far, the evidence has demonstrated that an FBI translator, two freelance
translators, a CIA agent and three FBI agents have publicly stated that the US
government has actively falsified evidence in this investigation. For some, this will
come as no surprise.
2. Osama, while never claiming responsibility, has actually denied responsibility, and
said the video ‘discovered’ by the US forces in Afghanistan is a fake. This reference
in the Pakistani press is generally ignored.
"(There is) an interview with the real Osama bin Laden, published in a Karachi, Pakistan
newspaper, the Daily UMMAT, on September 28. In that interview, bin Laden denied any
involvement in the September 11 attacks in the US, and pointed out Islam strictly forbids the
killing of women and children, even in the heat of battle. "[www.Public-Action.com]
In subsequent messages, he continually seeks to instigate defiance against Western
culture – but he has never officially accepted responsibility for the attack on the
WTC.
3. Osama, according to a number of intelligence agencies, is not the person to be
blaming. Whoever actually runs the terrorist operation is an unknown entity.
"Prince Nayef, head of Saudi security observed last week, Osama bin Laden is largely a
figurehead. Its real leaders, said the prince, echoing this column's view, remain as yet unknown
and are likely outside Afghanistan. "[Toronto Sun, 12/17/2001]
4. If Bin Laden is the guilty terrorist the US Government claims he is, why has the
government gone out of its way to avoid capturing him? At least three times (some
reports suggest the US avoided arresting him on at least 11 occasions) prior to the
WTC attack, and once after, American officials have declined to take the steps
necessary when they knew where he was:
"…Bin Laden… was originally offered for extradition by Sudan, but then apparently allowed to
head for Afghanistan in 1996 with barely a whimper from the US. Here is the world's most wanted
man, explaining how he acquired his substantial arsenal during the 1980s: 'I settled in Pakistan, in
the Afghan border region. There I received volunteers, trained by Pakistani and American officers.
The weapons were supplied by the Americans, the money by the Saudis'....." [Guardian,
12/18/2001]
"The Taliban's unprecedented offer to extradite bin Laden to a third country, well before the Sept.
11 attacks, was reported by the Times of London in February. In September, this newspaper
reported on the often cozy relationship between Washington and the Taliban. Last month, the
Washington Post reported that Sudan had offered in 1996 to extradite bin Laden, who was wanted
at that time for attacks on U.S. servicemen in Saudi Arabia.” [Toronto Star, 11/27/2001]
"Dubai … was the backdrop of a secret meeting between Osama bin Laden and the local CIA
agent in July. A partner of the administration of the American Hospital in Dubai claims that public
enemy number one stayed at this hospital between the 4th and 14th of July..... While he was
hospitalised, bin Laden received visits from many members of his family as well as prominent
Saudis and Emiratis. During the hospital stay, the local CIA agent, known to many in Dubai, was
seen taking the main elevator of the hospital to go to bin Laden's hospital room. A few days later,
the CIA man bragged to a few friends about having visited bin Laden. Authorised sources say that
