Put below facts together, please.

You forgot to explain why Osama bin Laden was (is?) a CIA agent, why the Bush admin let him escape on 9/11 (they knew his exact location. The time they had - 6 hours!!!); why Clinton admin protected Osama bin Laden; why the Bush family had business with Osama bin Laden (as well as with Saddam); why Bin Laden and the Taliban received threats of possible American military strikes against them two months before the terrorist assaults on New York and Washington, according to The Guardian of London; etc.

If we will call Saddam's deeds oppressing Iraqi people - we need to mention that it was blessed by U.S. (so, whose fault?)

Bush, Cheney & Co. have major things to cover-up.

This official stonewalling is the most staggering fact about September 11, one largely ignored by the American media.

Last May and June the cover-up by the Bush administration received a severe jolt. A series of media reports emerged documenting the fact that US intelligence agencies received advance warnings of the terrorist attacks. Among the revelations:

* In July 2001 an FBI agent in Arizona sent a memo to headquarters noting the presence of Islamic fundamentalist students at a local flight training school, and urging a nationwide check for similar activity. It went unanswered.

* In August 2001 FBI agents in Minneapolis asked for permission to investigate Zaccarias Moussaoui, an Islamic fundamentalist they believed might be planning to hijack a 747 jet on a suicide mission. FBI headquarters refused.

* In August 2001 Bush was briefed by the CIA about the danger of hijackings organized by Al Qaeda, but no increased security was ordered for airlines or airports. Nor was there any mobilization of air defense units.

* On September 9, Bush had on his desk, awaiting his signature, a draft National Security Decision Directive for war against Afghanistan, drawn up and approved by his top advisers a week before the World Trade Center attack.

* Washington Post columnist William Raspberry noted recently: "The CIA was monitoring hijacking leader Mohamed Atta in Germany until May 2000--about a month before he is believed to have come to the United States to attend flight school. Does it make sense that the monitoring stopped when he entered this country?"

* Weeks before the terrorist attacks on 11 September, the United States and the United Nations ignored warnings from a secret Taliban emissary that Osama bin Laden was planning a huge attack on American soil.

* Two key players in the Al Qaeda 9/11 - Zacarias Moussaoui and Atif Ahmed were double agents working for British intelligence. They were arrested but than ... seems to have vanished from the face of the earth (= US and British intelligence new everything about 9/11 before 9/11 but let 9/11 happen).

Thus, the Bush administration knew what may happen. Why the Bush administration did nothing to prevent 9/11 and even did not tried to save the second tower?

It is no accident that the Bush administration has refused to join the International Criminal Court (ICC). In recent days administration officials have let it be known that they are not only concerned with the court's possible prosecution of U.S. soldiers who commit war crimes, but also that the ICC may pursue high ranking U.S. government officials for past and present actions.

Questions:

* Why did FBI headquarters rebuff the concerns of agents in Minneapolis and Arizona who cited the threat of hijackings by Islamic fundamentalists?

* Why did FBI headquarters block any serious investigation into Zaccarias Moussaoui, arrested more than a month before September 11?

* Why was Mohammed Atta, the alleged organizer of the attacks, permitted to enter and leave the United States freely despite having been under surveillance by US intelligence agents in Europe as a suspected terrorist?

* Why were two of the hijackers, Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf al Hazmi, allowed to live freely in San Diego in the months before September 11, and even have their number listed in the phone book, although they were on a CIA watch list as suspected terrorists?

* Why has none of the essential information about the hijacked flights been released: the list of passengers, black box recordings, flight data recorded by air traffic control facilities?

* Five of the hijackers were reported to have trained at US military facilities. What were they trained for, and why?

* What are the connections between Al Qaeda and bin Laden personally, and the CIA and other US intelligence agencies that sponsored the Islamic fundamentalist groups in Afghanistan for more than a decade?

* What electronic information on the activities of Al Qaeda was available to the US government prior to September 11, and why was it not acted on?

* Why were US air defense fighters not ordered into action as soon as the first hijacking was reported by air traffic controllers?

* Why did US Attorney General John Ashcroft stop flying commercial airliners in July 2001, and why did a group of high Pentagon officials on September 10 cancel flights scheduled for the next morning?

* Who are the speculators who made huge futures bets against the stocks of American Airlines and United Airlines--but not the stocks of other airlines--in the week before the hijackings?
--------------------------------------------

In the United States, the vast majority of residents will never receive a share of the war dividends, just as we never received a peace dividend from the conclusion of the Cold War. Moreover we have suffered a serious erosion of our civil liberties with the onset of the war on terror, as Michael Ratner eloquently points out in his essay in the anthology, "Fortress America." Attorney General John Ashcroft's flagrant violation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is analogous to what happened when another attorney general, A. Mitchell Palmer, carried out "the Palmer Raids" of 1919. Then over five thousand people were arrested, most without warrants, and about 250 were deported. Many of the deportees, including the renowned early feminist and anti-war activist, Emma Goldman, had lived in the United States as immigrants for decades. Like Ashcroft's internal war on terror, this earlier violation of the U.S. constitution came as government officials and the media whipped up domestic hysteria over an alleged "Red Scare," while a U.S expeditionary force was dispatched abroad, in this case to Russia to support the conservative "white Russians" in a civil war against the Bolshevik red army.

And think about:

The CBS show 60 Minutes asked eleven hundred Americans how they felt about pieces of the Bill of Rights ? without telling them where the questions came from.

A majority in 1970 believed the government should be allowed to suppress news stories it doesn't like and to ban even peaceful demonstrations. So much for the First Amendment. A majority thought prosecutors should be able to try an acquitted suspect a second time for the same crime. So much for the Fifth. And most people told CBS that police should be allowed to hold a suspect until enough evidence is gathered for a conviction. So much for the Eighth, which bars excessive bail.

As John Mitchell put it in a speech soon after the 60 Minutes show, 'Americans don't like the Constitution.'
