AP: FBI Sent Hamas Money in Clinton Days

AP ^

If you really read this article.....the only one who comes across as the "bad guy" is the writer of the famous "Phoenix Memo".

Looks like they may be going after Clinton and the writer of the "Phoenix Memo" all at once. What would be the point of linking the two and why on earth do they need to drag the Israeli intelligence into this? Is someone in the FBI or White House out to get Sharon?

"FBI Sent Hamas Money in Clinton Days"

Was this before or after he sent Carville over there to secure Bahrak's election????

[freeangel]

Well, DUH!!! If I send money to Planned Parenthood, do you think they will use it for abortions?

Pardon if this has already been noticed - I haven't read through all the threads.

This seems to me further proof (as though we needed more) that the Clinton administration knew terrorism was a serious issue, but did not follow through with serious consequences to the terrorists.

[Peach]

That's a wow statement! How about a few of us writing letters to the editors to the major newspapers in the country regarding your excellent analogy!

I just had a wicked thought what if this leak came from the Israelis.....not from any US source.

I was thinking the same thing. The woman with the last name of Crowley(?) came out after 9/11 and said someone in the Phoenix office stopped information about 9/11 from going any higher up on the chain.

Either that, or they just felt good about sending your tax money to Hamas.

Was Sharon in power while these shenanigans were taking place?

[Dog]

Bebe was PM until May 99 then Barak became PM.

[Ann Archy]

The Phoenix FBI was where a memo was IGNORED about Arabs training at Flight Schools.

Do I get this story right???? The FBI wanted terrorists to kill Jews so they could FOLLOW THE MONEY?? And Janet Reno APPROVED this???

Janet Reno...you COULD be in REAL trouble with Jewish people.

Bebe was PM until May 99...

That Figures...

>>someone in the Phoenix office stopped information about 9/11 from going any higher up on the chain.

Correction: Williams maintained he sent the memo to DC where it was deepsixed.

[Ann Archy]

When was the memo sent? In the reign of Clinton or Bush?

[jsbankston]

I could not agree with you more. Very insightful post!

The counterterrorism operation in 1998 and 1999 was run out of the FBI's Phoenix office in cooperation with Israeli intelligence and was approved by Attorney General Janet Reno, FBI officials told The Associated Press. ......

Ellen's FBI handler in the late 1990s was Kenneth Williams, an agent who later became famous for writing a pre-Sept. 11 memo to FBI headquarters warning there were Arab pilots training at U.S. flight schools. The warning went unheeded. ......

Ellen testified the operation ended abruptly in early 1999 when he and Williams had a series of disagreements over the operation, disputes that began when Ellen angered the FBI by having an affair with a Chinese woman suspected of espionage. ......

FBI links 9-11 hijacker to man named in Phoenix agent's memo Senate votes to create independent panel for investigation 09/25/2002 By MICHELLE MITTELSTADT / The Dallas Morning News WASHINGTON - The FBI has linked a Sept. 11 hijacker to a possible Islamic radical named in a Phoenix FBI agent's now-famous July 2001 memo, raising questions about whether a more aggressive investigation might have led authorities to Hani Hanjour before he crashed a jetliner into the Pentagon. No one can say whether a more active investigation of the unnamed Phoenix man would have allowed the FBI to find Mr. Hanjour...

Justice Dept. investigates Phoenix FBI agents
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/1002phoenixfbi02.html

"The probe stems from a complicated tangle of complaints against the FBI from another Valley man, Harry Ellen, 55, who worked as an informant for members of Squad 5 in the late 1990s. Ellen became romantically involved with an investigative target from China, got cross-wise with his FBI handlers, and accused agents of endangering his life by blowing his cover."

"As a Muslim convert who also used the name Abu Yusef, Ellen worked undercover in Arizona gathering information on Arab immigrants connected with suspected terrorist groups. His business enterprises also took him to the Middle East, Africa and China." ......

"An Arizona businessman who assisted U.S. intelligence said he alerted the FBI in the mid-1990s that one or more Middle Eastern pilots were training or working in his state and appeared suspicious."

"Harry Ellen said he told an FBI agent in Phoenix in late 1996 or early 1997 that he met an Algerian pilot and several Middle Eastern men at an Arizona mosque. Ellen assisted U.S. intelligence during the 1990s but later had a falling out over his business and personal dealings in Asia and the Middle East." .......

"Law enforcement officials said that while Ellen helped the FBI, agents in Arizona have no record or recollection of him providing information about pilots." ......
