That's funny. So much for the I in FBI, right? No surprises, here, that they got it wrong.

It doesn't bother me that they got it wrong the first time, it bothers me that they never corrected their mistakes and thus attempt to correct the official fairytale with what actually happened.

I never paid attention to foreign media reporting on this before and was frankly skeptical of all the theories. But I think a thorough investigation will do us good and answer some odd questions that have arisen about official story.

Quote:

9/11 hijacker belonged to Lebanese family recently caught spying for Isreal

This seems incredible on the surface, what could be logical explanation for such a bizzare connection?

Spies’ Roots Reach Deep in Lebanon


By ROBERT F. WORTH
Published: May 22, 2009

BEIRUT, Lebanon — When the Lebanese authorities announced the arrest of an Israeli spy ring late last year, the news aroused little surprise. It is no secret that Israel has long maintained intelligence agents here.

But in recent weeks, more and more suspects have been captured, including a retired general, several security officials and a deputy mayor. All told, at least 21 people have been arrested, and 3 others escaped over the border into Israel with the help of the Israeli military, Lebanese officials say.

The spying network’s extent has mesmerized the Lebanese and made headlines here. It has also infuriated Lebanese officials, who sent an official protest to the United Nations this week. On Friday, President Michel Suleiman complained about the matter in a meeting here with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.


Investigators said that Mr. Homsi, like many others accused of being spies, traveled abroad to meet with Israeli agents, who provided him with instructions and equipment.

Some contrived elaborate schemes to avoid detection. Ali al-Jarrah, who was arrested last year and accused of spying for Israel for 25 years, had two homes and two wives who did not know of each other. Adib al-Alam, a retired general arrested in April, had established a domestic maid service at the behest of his Israeli spymasters, officials have said. He used it to disguise his telephone calls and trips abroad to meet with Israeli officers.

Al-Jarrah in 2008Ali al-Jarrah (c. 1958 –) is a Lebanese man accused of spying for Israel for 25 years.[1]


Spying

According to The New York Times, following Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, al-Jarrah was jailed and then recruited as an intelligence asset by Israeli officers in 1983. As part of his work he photographed Hezbollah supply routes, and traveled throughout Lebanon and Syria. He communicated his information by satellite phone, and even made several trips to Israel on an Israeli passport obtained in Belgium or Italy. Paid by means of dead drops, al-Jarrah is reported to have received in excess of US$300,000 over the years.[1]


Personal life

Ali al-Jarrah lived in Maraj, Lebanon with his wife Maryam Shmouri al-Jarrah and their five children. A brother, Yusuf, has also been accused of helping him spy for Israel, and his cousin Ziad al-Jarrah, was one of the September 11 attackers. Al-Jarrah is also said to have secretly married a second wife living in Masnaa, which made it easier for him to move between the Lebanon-Syria border.[1]

I've seen tens of video footage on WTC7, but I've never seen that one before. You just raised more questions in my mind about what really happened on 9/11. :mad:

Careful. You're about to go tumbling down a rabbit hole.

[paulitics]

Just remember , when BBC makes a "mistake", it's either Reuters or AP.

I've been there before, so that's why I always bring a ladder with me when I go. ;)
