I find the documents that Mr. Seikaly chose NOT to leak more interesting. His beautiful and accomplished daughter now represents Al-Timimi pro bono in connection with the sedition claim. Al-Timimi was a key “POI” of the other squad. If PhD certificate-forging Dr. Hatfill was of interest because he was close friends with William Patrick, Ali Al-Timimi was of interest because his religious mentor was Bin Laden’s sheik and he was in touch with the guy at the same time his desk was not much more than 15 feet from famed Russian bioweaponeer Ken Alibek and former USAMRIID Deputy Commander Charles Bailey. Hmmm... who is the better POI? The “bioevangelist” or the committed Salafist who has infiltrated biodefense establishment. Hm... right after 9/11 after Ayman Zawahiri promised he was going to use anthrax against US targets. That’s a toughie.
Al-Timimi was sentenced to life plus 70 years but the conviction has been set aside to permit discovery regarding alleged NSA interceptions in 2002. The defense is seeking NSA wiretaps from 2002 showing his communication with Bin Laden’s sheik leading up to his arranging for the hand-delivery of a letter to every member of Congress on the occasion of the first anniversary of the mailed anthrax to the Senators overseeing appropriations to Egypt and Israel (as well as the Department of Justice).
For example, Mr. Seikaly never leaked this document from 1999 — he never hyped this as an exclusive to NEWSWEEK. Mr. Seikaly came over from the CIA to his position at the DC United States Attorney’s Office on September 29, 2001. Ironically, he was in charge of investigating leaks of classified information at the CIA’s Inspector General’s Office.
I have uploaded most of the letter provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency to me under FOIA.
