September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

These small bits of information beg a number of questions:
• How does a ‘technology expert’ and a ‘professional managing large scale telecomm
projects’ for a Defense company end up being hired to supposedly repair barracks in
Iraq? One must assume he was doing something else.
• Is there a connection with the type of telecommunications work done by Nick Berg?
• Why is there an inconsistent message from the public about why he was in Iraq? His
acquaintances and family are telling the press he was there to build schools and
rebuild Iraq. Why would he tell them that? One must assume it was a cover.
• Why does his wife need to spend time with FBI investigators, reported by the press to
be at her house? Usually, this type of activity is covered by a representative from the
State Department.
All the evidence suggests Jack was a great guy – someone you’d want as a friend. At the
same time, he was a guy who took risks he did not have to - in terms of where he lived,
who he lived with and what he did. There was part of his world his wife didn’t want to
know about.
3.4 Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
Finally, there should be a discussion of the group taking the blame for this outrage.
Looking at a picture of the executioners, the outfits are the same as those from the Nick
Berg execution, the physical size is the same, and the orange jumpsuits are back in the
picture. The video and pictures suggest are these are the same guys that executed Nick
Berg. The US Embassy issued a statement that it’s probably the same group. But… does
the world really know who they are, and is it really Abu Musab al-Zarqawi?
“Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of the organisation responsible for the beheadings in Iraq, is regularly
portrayed by the US government as a terrorist mastermind, responsible for activity in places as
widespread as Hamburg, Chechnya, Madrid (train bombing) and Mombassa (hotel bombing). But
while there is no doubt that Zarqawi has committed awful crimes, experts say that accusing him has
become an easy fall-back for the authorities as they struggle to contain the insurgency. There is no
unanimity on whether Zarqawi is a henchman of Osama bin Laden or a rival.”[“A Thug who will stop
at nothing to create pure Islamic Zone in Middle East,” Ewen MacAskill and Rory McCarthy,
Guardian Unlimited, 11/23/2004]
First, the profile presented by the Guardian Unlimited is not the picture of an Islamic
fundamentalist terrorist. It is the profile an international hit-man, not unlike Carlos the
“Jackal” Ramirez – who, once captured, was buried by the authorities so deep in prison
no one could ever hear his story. (Who is hiding what dark secrets in that case?)
Second, these Iraqi executions do not follow the modus operandi of Abu Musab al-
Zarqawi. His infamous reputation is built on use of weapons of mass murder (bombings
and chemicals) used against those whose religions he disagrees with: Shia Muslims and
Jews. These executions meet none of the three characteristics of his group’s modus
operandi: 1) mass murder, 2) religious affiliation or c) use of bombs and chemicals. Nor
