Holy crap. Look at this:

Abdul Hakim Murad, a conspirator in the 1995 Bojinka plot with Ramzi Yousef, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and others, was convicted in 1996 of his role in the Bojinka plot (see January 6, 1995). He is about to be sentenced for that crime. He offers to cooperate with federal prosecutors in return for a reduction in his sentence, but prosecutors turn down his offer. Dietrich Snell, the prosecutor who convicted Murad, says after 9/11 that he doesn't remember any such offer. But court papers and others familiar with the case later confirmed that Murad does offer to cooperate at this time. Snell claimed he only remembers hearing that Murad had described an intention to hijack a plane and fly it into CIA headquarters. However, in 1995 Murad had confessed to Philippine investigators that this would have been only one part of a larger plot to crash a number of airplanes into prominent US buildings, including the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, a plot that Khalid Shaikh Mohammed later adjusts and turns into the 9/11 plot (see January 20, 1995) (see February 1995). While Philippine investigators claim this information was passed on to US intelligence, it's not clear just which US officials may have learned this information and what they did with it, if anything. [New York Daily News, 9/25/01] Murad is sentenced in May 1998 and given life in prison plus 60 years. [Albany Times-Union, 9/22/02] After 9/11, Snell goes on to become Senior Counsel and a team leader for the 9/11 Commission. Author Peter Lance later calls Snell “one of the fixers, hired early on to sanitize the Commission's final report.” Lance says Snell ignored evidence presented to the Commission that shows direct ties between the Bojinka plot and 9/11, and in so doing covers up Snell's own role in the failure to make more use of evidence learned from Murad and other Bojinka plotters.

People and organizations involved: Dietrich Snell, Abdul Hakim Murad, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, 9/11 Congressional Inquiry, Pentagon, Ramzi Yousef, World Trade Center

Nice. I like how they made sure that the "fixers" had self-interest--the most reliable motive--driving their behavior.

You have emailed this to Drudge, Rush, and Hannity I hope...a real eye-opener! Just because we look odd in these tinfoil hats, doesn't mean there's not a real conspiracy.

Whoa. Great find!

One of the people who allegedly had foreknowledge somehow made it on the the commission investigating 9/11.

Sickening.

If we had new media this would be devasting. But the clowns who pass themselves off as reporters could never allow the 24/7 Natalie orgy to be interrupted by anything so trivial.

Is this one of the two people who could say what the commission saw?

Who was posting on the Jamie Gorelick thread today that she was one of the two who decided what data the commission saw?

Wow...good catch. As I have said before, the OKC investigation is also involved (which Gorelick squashed, see links below) and then there is the Iraq connection...from my files:

Ramzi Yousef (1993 WTC) and Terry Nichols (OKC) crossed paths in the Phillipines. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (9/11)was Yousef's uncle. It is interesting to note that Yousef entered the United States on an Iraqi passport and had been known among the New York fundamentalists as "Rashid, the Iraqi". Another name that could be thrown into the mix is Abdul Rahman Yasin, a U.S. citizen who moved to Iraq in the 1960's and returned to the U.S. in 1992. After the 1993 WTC bombing, Yasin fled to Iraq and was given monthly salary and housing by Saddam Hussein's regime.

I admit I haven't had time (and don't have time now) to look at this thread closely, but it sure appears to be interesting. Start with post #5...

Did the name "Dietrich Snell" come up today on Rush, Hannity or other radio talk shows, or in the MSM? Sorry to be so clueless... was busy and away from the computer today and only heard a few minutes of both Rush and Hannity. Trying to catch up on the news now... Thanks. :o)
