STRANGE CELL-FELLOW: Ramzi Yousef, mastermind of the '93 WTC bombing, in 1996, when he began spilling to a jail "friend."
April 11, 2004 -- The 9/11 commission has been given an FBI report detailing mobster-turned-spy Gregory Scarpa Jr.'s 1996 prison exchanges with terrorist Ramzi Yousef. The Post's Al Guart reports how a Brooklyn hood became America's unlikely agent in the war on terror.

What did Janet Reno know, and when did she know it?
This is just one more good reason why there should not be "criminal prosecutions" for terrorists. These people need to be isolated incommunicato for the duration. They are dangerous even behind bars.
This sort of jumped out at me:
(Yousef) was insisting the wiseguy convert to Islam to prove his trust - and Scarpa obliged.
...Scarpa later told the feds he still "considers himself a Catholic and still eats pork," an FBI report stated.
I've got bad news for Scarpa. He may consider himself a Catholic, but the Muslims still consider him a Muslim. There is no such thing as "faking it" when you say the words converting to Islam. It's a one way street, whether you are serious about it or not.
He can look for a capital punishment fatwa placed against him, if one already hasn't already been issued.
Hmm...."one trip"...only the geniuses at FBI could miss the obvious reference to suicide attacks.
In October 1998 - in a trial where Scarpa publicly revealed his assistance to the FBI - the mobster was convicted of murder conspiracy. The feds downplayed his cooperation.
More proof the FBI are idiots. Who will help them now in the future? Morons.
Howlin - don't miss #14.
Does ANYONE know the EXACT DATE of Robert Kennedy's assasination???
Could it have been around the one year anniversary of Israel's victory in the Six Day War???
...Another conspiracy theory? From another commission? The Warren Report; the 9-11 Report? The partisans say, Answer the questions, and question the answers...
...Debate is healthy...
Ramsey Clark represented Skeik Omar Abdel Rahman, "The Blind Sheik" to whom the 1993 WTC bombers were linked. He's serving a life-sentence for several terrorist plots.
He also represented Saddam Hussein in the past, and is believed to have been on Hussein's payroll right up until the fall of Baghdad.
ThE "Intelligence Timeline" reveals that Yousef knew about something happening to a TWA or AA flight that fateful day, before it happened.
From the timeline:
July 2, 1996 (FBI 302, date investigated June 29, 1996) Yousef spoke of Bojinga doing the bombing in Saudi Arabia. Yousef stated that he was originally sent on that mission to check the security measures and that tanker truck was discussed.
July 17, 1996 (FBI 302) TWA Flight 800 crashed killing 230 passengers off Long Island, New York. Yousef asked to use the telephone the night of July 17, 1996 he also had a visit with his attorney until 10:00pm and still requested use of the telephone which was denied.
July 18, 1996 ( FBI 302) Jerry Koupakis a former U.S. Customs Agent that was corrupt told Scarpa that he told his father not to travel TWA or American Airlines on the morning of July 18, 1996. Yousef told him this information prior to July 18, 1996.
July 23/24, 1996 (FBI 302 & Handwritten) Ismoil told Scarpa, "I told you this is going to happen." He was also referencing a conversation Scarpa and he had months prior where Ismoil said that "nothing would be left of New York just give it some time."
Who dropped the ball?
Now...the Six Day War...
In the early hours of 5 June 1967, hostilities broke out. Within three hours the Egyptian air force was virtually destroyed. There was also fighting on the ground. Prime Minister Eshkol broadcast the following message to the people of Israel:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citizens of Israel: Since the hours of this morning our forces, on land and in the air, are returning war with a view to vanquishing the armies of the aggressive ruler of Egypt. [end Excerpt]
WOW!!!
And the press thought it was a 'lone Palestinian nut'!!
RFK got WHACKED by a Palestinian one year to THE DAY of the Outbreak of the Six Day War, which brought Israeli control of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Sorry, refuse to speak to "Dick" Ben.
