CIA: 9/11 Plotters Transited Iran, Govt Tie Unseen
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About eight of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers passed through Iran before attacking the United States, but there is no sign of official Iranian complicity, the CIA (news - web sites)'s acting director said on Sunday.

bumping the thread.
be safe, everyone.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES OF POSTING ETIQUETTE:
These guidelines are intended to help maintain a useful amount of order in a large site like this and to promote better posting. They may be revised without notice. Users of Free Republic should also understand that this is a privately owned, not-for-profit site and that they are guests here. The owner reserves the right to revoke posting privileges and, when necessary, to permanently ban individuals.
Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.
Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.
(Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.
Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.
Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.
Do stay on topic - If you are going to post an article, make sure you are placing it in the correct topic area.
Do include the original title - When you post an article, be sure to include the original title where appropriate. This helps users find the article and lessens the chance of a double post.
Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
Don't spam - Post your message once. If you are not sure if it has posted, check the latest posts page.
Don't violate poster privacy - Don't reveal online another poster's phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn't already made public for everyone on Free Republic. If you are asked for a friend's email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.
Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it, and don't misattribute a contribution you've made. (Parody exceptions would apply to the latter, of course, but it should be clear what you are doing.)
{{{Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.}}}
As I sit here with my 6 month old daughter on my lap, I try to think of her future. I look at my boys, 3 and 11, and wonder what goblins they will have to face.
How can I possibly explain to them that there are people that want them dead? My 11 year old is having a hard enough time learning the difference between good and bad vs. right and wrong. He has a tough time with things that can be both bad and right, (1st amendment protected speech with bad content but right in its allowance).
I look around and see news of people being assaulted outside of movie theatres, because they disagree with moveon.org paper hangers. I see some of our more visible citizens going to enemy countries, begging for forgiveness from tyrants. I see airport security skipping over ME type males, and strip searching 80 year old women, so as not to violate anyone's rights. I am bombarded with twisted headlines and deliberate misrepresentation of truth, by people whose agenda is more important than the truth. I can see pictures of people protesting at the funeral procession of my only modern hero, President Ronald Wilson Reagan. I see intolerant people calling all others intolerant for simply disagreeing.
I see all these things, but I'm not totally disheartened. We have managed to survive this far; I can look at the words of the people here and feel bolder. I know that I'm not alone; I know that there are others who see a ray of hope as well, and are willing to fight the good fight in the face of many enemies. This is a major crisis, and it's the ONLY crisis that faces us today, in spite of what Presidential candidates may say to the contrary.
I have no way to explain this to my young children; I have no way to prepare them. All that I can do is protect them through my actions. There is not a torch for me to pass; if there was one, I'm sure that I would keep it anyway. As I see the sweetest, bright eyed smile of an angel on my lap, her eyes filled with trust and playfulness, I know that I can only tell them about this when it's all over.
May we be successful here, so that our children never have to face the demons that we are facing today.
I love my God, I love my Country, I love all of you.

IMPORTANT:
Things to Look Out For: Be Observant:
Multiple sightings of the same suspicious person, vehicle or activity at the same location;
Individuals or activities that don't "fit" into the surrounding environment;
Individuals sitting in a parked vehicle for an extended period of time;
Individuals or several people sketching or taking notes, photographing or videotaping areas or buildings not normally associated with tourist activity;
Clothing out of place for the weather, such as someone wearing a heavy coat in hot weather;
Individuals or people carrying unusually heavy bags or backpacks;
Vehicles -- especially vans, U-Hauls or delivery trucks -- improperly parked or parked in locations not normally associated with deliveries;
Follow your instinct. If something doesn't look right, it might not be.
I just posted the new thread, boy your quick ;)
Thanks Piper and Kinetic.
Awesome, as usual.
Quicker than I. I tried to be first...
Big Bad Bump! Thread #13 was lucky. Will our luck continue? Place your bets.
Just, you have out done yourself. Nice intro for the thread! Good job!!
Bttt.
Wanted to let you and all know she has freepmail too ;)
Freeper Kinetic does websites, my babee ;) she tweaked it good huh?
JIHAD WATCH.org (AP): "FBI WARNS AL-QAIDA MAY RECRUIT NON-ARABS" (JIHADWATCH.org SNIPPET: "I found this report less disturbing for the fact that al-Qaida is recruiting non-Arabs than for the idea that this is news. It indicates that the FBI, the media, or both have by now utterly forgotten about John Walker Lindh, Richard Reid, Jose Padilla, Jack Roche, and all the rest. Doesn't bode well for our state of readiness to have such short memories.") (July 17, 2004) (Read More...)
Thank you Dio!
Thank you JP.
Very nice.
Luck doesn't really factor in too much here. Face it, we've got a GREAT CREW!
ping
THANKS
GREAT JOB AS USUAL!
Hey ExSoldier. Yes, we definitely have a great crew. But the terrorist evildoers only have to be right once, we have to be on the ball 24/7! ;)
BTW Kinetic made all those pictures- link clickable -g-
Every link will open in a new window- also the TM thread menu is clickable
nice job on the thread Piper!
Kinetic is sitting her with me right now so pleased you like -g-
Clearing throat
Kinetic can get posts here too ;)
"We" thank you -g-
I had my fingers crossed all through Thread 13 ... can I uncross them for 14? My hands are getting tired. :-)
Guess I'm being dense.
Is Kinetic a screen name?
What did you really mean???
Great new thread start. Thanks.
I'll think about it ;)
Hint, did you read my intro to my daughter?
Thanks Kinetic ;0)
Great job.
Thanks for the ping and the new thread. Great job - a lot of nice additions. Just got back from vacation and I have to catch up on a couple of thousand posts from thread 13. I was totally out of touch with the news for 8 days. Be back tomorrow.
Thanks! Tell your daughter she's good!
I hope anyone who reads more about the supposedly thwarted nuke attack posts whatever they find.
Have you talked to Jim about getting TM its own Forum room? It would be a great compliment to FR and to all TMers. You have all proven your worth and expertise on this subject and IMHO deserves its own Forum on FR.
Thwarted nuke attack? Is this just breaking?
Major bump.
There was stuff about it on the end of thread 13. I've been a little behind myself, and caught the last 200 comments just now.
Thanks, I'll read backwards a bit.
I haven't caught up with 13 yet. LOL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guess it's time to re-post this which we started about thread 5.
It was proposed that we keep e-mail addresses and/or phone #'s in case of a threat emergency or loss of FR due to site emergency. I have 30+ people who have responded.
It was also decided that there should be area contacts in case of a specific area emergency, so far the volunteers are as follows:
MamaDearest --------- Idaho
judicial meanz --------- Virginia
JustPiper -------------- Illinois
thecabal ---------------Oregon
Rickylc-----------------Michigan
all4one-----------------Pennsylvania
tmp02------------------Maryland
Honestly ---------------Kansas City
mfccinsd ---------------San Diego
little jeremiah-----------Oregon
WestCoastGal ---------Palm Springs
Each of the area contacts have the e-mail and/or phone number of the other area contacts. In case of emergency now we hopefully have a means of contact. This can be for your own area emergency or for a family member who lives in another persons area.
MamaDearest is my backup.
If any one wishes to add their e-mail to the list or to be an area contact person, please freepmail me.
Let me know if you want on or off this list. Thanks
Could you freepmail me the alternate TM site? I can't find it... lost in the flotsam and jetsam of my outlook express and freepmail. I need to put my Basic Survival Nutrition List and recipes there.
Aljernaan Spencer was fretting about interception of one of the 7 nukes. A snippet of e-mail was posted on TM thread 13. Validity of the comments is uncertain.
Bookmarking and considering. Will let you know.
By all means, do. We expect fewer typos from you on this thread...
Kinetic, the opening headers for this thread are eye-catching, warm and informative.
I just saw this thread. What are yall doing here?
Ahhhhh,
So Kinetic is your daughter and she does websites!
CONGRATS ALL AROUND!
BTW, Kinetic . . . does your mother have a reputation for assuming others are mind readers in her closer social circles? LOL. I don't think I often measure up!
Clearly she's done a great job with you. Please keep up the good work!
... now I'm gonna have to uncross my toes and eyes, too. Wishing for all safety is hard work.
