Very good! Your turn.

Able Danger, the military intelligence gathering unit that identified Mohammad Atta in 2000 identified which future Bush administration official as having possible terrroist/spy links before shutting down due to the possbility of "spying on americans"?


i still think there is more to able danger than they are telling us...way beyond identifying Atta.


not to get off topic, but in regards to Atta. has anyone read Nafeez Ahmed's War on Truth or Webster Tarpley's 9-11:Synthetic terror?

i am finishing up both and they seem to put forth the same information (different arguments), except a part where they talk about Atta's past. In War on truth, Ahmed claims that Atta was put on the terrorist watch list because of an attack he helped in Israel in 1985 (or '86) and questions how we could have let him into the country knowing he was on this list, but Tarpley claims that another man named mohammed atta was responsible and therefore because Atta had the same name, flags should have come up because of this.

it's a technicality, but one that stood out for me. i was wondering what y'all thought.

It was Condoleeza Rice, and it was because she was a "potential security risk".

Also keep in mind I didn't look at the FAA, and NORAD timelines to see what they had to say, which, to my knowledge, was different.

But based on the "Official" (9/11 Report) and "Final" (9/11 Report) accounts, the numbers somewhat add up for Flight 77, and COMPLETELY don't add up regarding Cheney.

Flight 77 was flying at 500mph according to Paul Thompson's Timeline...

[Gold9472]

Which means Flight 77 MIGHT have had the time to fly from Indianapolis to Washington D.C. depending upon how high the plane was being flown from Indianapolis to Washington D.C. and what the altitude/speed ratio is for planes (which I don't know)

Remember, these were not crack pilots, the likelihood of them being able to find their target and fly directly at it is remote. Its a big freaking world, realistically what are the chances they could find their targets from 20,000 feet up?

The timeline cuts it extremely close, they had to fly at top speed, and they couldn't have had any trouble finding their target. Since they disappeared from radar, and turned off their transponder, they wouldn't have been getting any help from any navigation systems to help them get where they were going would they?

This might be a good area of investigation, how the hell did they find the Pentagon from 500 miles away? Do the flight navigation systems work with the transponder off? That sort of thing.

I just know higher altitude = covers distances faster...
