The government knew who was behind it this operation to bring terror to America. (And They---FBI knew bin Laden was one of those behind the last World Trade Center Bombing that the FBI allowed to happen by refusing to allow their paid infomant explosives expert to replace the real explosives with fake explosives.)
So why was bin Laden (and who ever else) allowed to operate all this terror training/planning groups throughout the USA and worldwide?
Why did the FBI and CIA, State Department not work with others countries to shut them down overseeas?

There are seven of them that we know about, because of their having been trained in the U.S. This doesn't mean that the others weren't trained elsewhere, or under assumed names here that we have not uncovered.
The latest reports are that 4 of the 5 terrorists on one plane were pilots. There were also other posts about a flight instructor (in Afghanistan?) who said he was "forced" to train 14 flight students there.
It would not surprise me if all or at least 4 on each of the terrorist flights were pilots of one ilk or another.

Of the 19 names, at least two-thirds had surnames associated with the south-west corner of Saudi Arabia or Yemen, which is where the bin Laden family originates. PBS showed a fascinating documentary this week about Saudi. Apparently there's plenty of opposition to the Saudi royal family, with many supporters of bin-Laden among the Saudi people. PBS may repeat it or have transcription up at their web site. It's well worth watching. Many CIA agents are interviewed and describe the problems with getting agents into Arabian countries.

The other thing some Americans need to remember is that PERSISTENCE really DOES count.
These terrorists HAVE been planning this for YEARS. Not like in this country, where some people think if you can't get what you want in 5 minutes -- in the MTV generation of impulse buying -- then, forget it.
Over there, they may not have as many resources as we do, but they have the tenancity we often lack.

How did all these pilots get through FBI background checks, with the FBI now admitting they ties to terrorist organizations and bin Laden?

I wonder why seven pilots, and not eight, when there were four planes. You'd think two pilots per plane would make sense, so that the plot on each plane could survive the death or incapacitation of one pilot. I kind of suspect the real number is eight, and the authorities are not yet aware of the qualification of the eighth pilot.

To find pilots in your neighborhood, visit: http://www.avweb.com It has names and addresses of most certified pilots in the US. I looked up my zip code: Many of the "questionable" pilots came into the states in the past few years. There are many. Enuff said.

We will be fighting an enemy who comes from a a variety of countries, including the United States. A good first start will be to revoke visas and demand all non-citizen Muslims leave the country (some will need exit interviews before departing). Make it a felony to harbor any who don't leave.

You know the FBI had to know these guys were all involved in terror groups, just by comparing their names in interpol, and NCIC.
From what I understand the FBI and other government compare airport employee, airline employee, and contractor employee databases with NCIC and Interpol.
A friend of mine worked at Hert Rental at the airport told me that checks were done often comparing the databases including his company. And he had to do FBI background even though he never worked in the lugguage or onboard any planes.
The FBI knew about these guys and ignored it. Who ordered it?

So why was bin Laden (and who ever else) allowed to operate all this terror training/planning groups throughout the USA and worldwide? Probably because the FBI thought the greatest threat to the U.S. was "right-wing extremists and militia groups." That's what a top FBI official said a few years ago in a TV interview. I was stunned when I heard it. It is sickening now to think how their resources have been misdirected over the years.

t-shirt, I don't know the answers to your questions -- and, if I did, I wouldn't discuss it or post it anyway.
You post interesting articles, but you should really read the editorial written by Jim Robinson at the above URL if you haven't already.
Sincerely,
summer :)
