I do not believe the people who were under observation are the perpetrators.
I believe they were being set up to take the fall.

FBI AGENT ROBERT WRIGHT SAYS FBI AGENTS ASSIGNED TO INTELLIGENCE
OPERATIONS CONTINUE TO PROTECT TERRORISTS FROM CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS AND
PROSECUTIONS
Agents Lied To Federal Court for Wiretap Authority and Compromised Criminal
Investigations of Terrorists
FBI Headquarters? International Terrorism Unit Acted as a ?Spectator? While
Americans Died at the Hands of Terrorists
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates
and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, represents ?whistleblowing?
FBI Special Agent (SA) Robert G. Wright, Jr., of the bureau?s Chicago
Division, who said today that the FBI continues to dodge accountability and
cover-up its negligence and dereliction of duty in pursuing terrorists who
pose a direct threat to the United States. SA Wright is the only FBI agent
to seize terrorist funds (over $1.4 million) from U.S.-based Middle Eastern
terrorists using federal civil forfeiture statutes, prior to the September
11th attacks. The original source of the funds was Yassin Kadi, a Saudi
businessman, who is reportedly a financier of Osama bin Laden.
SA Wright points to recent misconduct and falsifications of wiretap warrant
applications by FBI agents (signed-off by the former FBI Director, Louis
Freeh) to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court. Prior to
September 11th, SA Wright alleged FBI intelligence agents lied and hid
vital records from criminal agents for the purpose of obstructing his
criminal investigation of the terrorists in order to protect
their ?subjects,? and prolong their intelligence operations. SA Wright was
stunned to learn recently that some of the FBI intelligence agents that had
stalled and obstructed his criminal investigations of terrorists in Chicago
had also lied to the judges of the FISA Court in Washington, DC.
SA Wright says that, in his opinion, prior to September 11th, the ITU?s
incompetence and repeated failures to support criminal investigations
contributed directly to the deaths of five Americans. The ITU?s absolute
failure to detect and identify the September 11th terrorist plot, and the
radical Islamists that carried it out, is further evidence of the ITU?s
negligence, and places the deaths of thousands of Americans at their door.
Over the last year, SA Wright has repeatedly tried to lawfully expose the
FBI?s incompetence and dereliction: 1) through FBI and Justice Department
channels, 2) through individual Congressmen and Senators, 3) to the Joint
Congressional Intelligence Committee and, 4) at a press conference held by
his legal counsel, Larry Klayman, the Chairman of Judicial Watch, Inc., and
co-counsel, David Schippers, Esq., of Schippers and Bailey of Chicago, IL.
The FBI continues to illegally refuse the release of SA Wright?s 500 page
manuscript, Fatal Betrayals of the Intelligence Mission, that SA Wright
submitted for prepublication review in October 2001. In fact, the FBI
refused to turn the manuscript over to Sen. Richard C. Shelby, Vice
Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Commitee, charged with investigating the
FBI?s intelligence failures. The FBI falsely claims that the manuscript
contains grand jury material, although SA Wright has publicly
available, ?open source,? references for all of the material in the
manuscript. Schippers, a former federal prosecutor, has suggested that the
committee petition U.S. District Court Chief Judge Charles P. Kocoras to
disclose any such grand jury material under Criminal Rule 6(e)(3)(D), as
matter involving intelligence and counterintelligence.
In anticipation of being subpoenaed by the Joint Intelligence Committee, SA
Wright has prepared a statement detailing the FBI?s negligence and
dereliction of duty in pursuing the terrorist threat to the American
public.
?SA Wright is performing a service for his country by exposing the FBI?s
dereliction of duty ? particularly by FBI headquarters staffers. Director
Mueller survived the ?bad press? of last May, and the nation?s attention
has moved on to something else ? until the next terrorist attack. How many
more dead Americans will it take to get accountability from the FBI?,?
stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.
Judicial Watch?s new book, Fatal Neglect: The U.S. Government?s Continuing
Failure to Protect American Citizens from Terrorists, details FBI and other
government incompetence that leaves American citizens exposed to terrorism.
