No hard evidence connecting Usama Bin Laden to 9/11... Think about it.

FBI says, "No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11"

June 10, 2006
Muckracker Report

June 6, 2006 - This past weekend, a thought provoking e-mail
circulated through Internet news groups, and was sent to the Muckraker
Report by Mr. Paul V. Sheridan (Winner of the 2005 Civil Justice
Foundation Award), bringing attention to the FBI's Most Wanted
Terrorist web page for Usama Bin Laden.[1] (See bottom of this web
page for Most Wanted page) In the e-mail, the question is asked,
"Why doesn't Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster make any direct
connection with the events of September 11, 2001?" The FBI says on
its Bin Laden web page that Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection
with the August 7, 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar
es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. According to the FBI, these
attacks killed over 200 people. The FBI concludes its reason for
"wanting" Bin Laden by saying, "In addition, Bin Laden is a
suspect in other terrorists attacks throughout the world."


On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters,
(202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster did not
indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The
Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity
for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin
Laden's Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, "The reason why 9/11 is
not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the
FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11."


Surprised by the ease in which this FBI spokesman made such an
astonishing statement, I asked, "How this was possible?" Tomb
continued, "Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to
9/11." I asked, "How does that work?" Tomb continued, "The
FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to
the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides
whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In
the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden
has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not
been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the
FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11."

It shouldn't take long before the full meaning of these FBI
statements start to ***** your brain and raise your blood pressure. If
you think the way I think, in quick order you will be wrestling with a
barrage of very powerful questions that must be answered. First and
foremost, if the U.S. government does not have enough hard evidence
connecting Bin Laden to 9/11, how is it possible that it had enough
evidence to invade Afghanistan to "smoke him out of his cave?" The
federal government claims to have invaded Afghanistan to "root out"
Bin Laden and the Taliban. Through the talking heads in the mainstream
media, the Bush Administration told the American people that Usama Bin
Laden was Public Enemy Number One and responsible for the deaths of
nearly 3000 people on September 11, 2001. Yet nearly five years later,
the FBI says that it has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.


Next is the Bin Laden "confession" video that was released by the
U.S. government on December 13, 2001. Most Americans remember this
video. It was the video showing Bin Laden with a few of his comrades
recounting with delight the September 11 terrorist attacks against the
United States. The Department of Defense issued a press release to
accompany this video in which Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld
said, "There was no doubt of bin Laden's responsibility for the
September 11 attacks before the tape was discovered."[2] What
Rumsfeld implied by his statement was that Bin Laden was the known
mastermind behind 9/11 even before the "confession video" and that
the video simply served to confirm what the U.S. government already
knew; that Bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

In a BBC News article[3] reporting on the "9/11 confession video"
release, President Bush is said to have been hesitant to release the
tape because he knew it would be a vivid reminder to many people of
their loss. But, he also knew it would be "a devastating
declaration" of Bin Laden's guilt. "Were going to get him,"
said President Bush. "Dead or alive, it doesn't matter to me."


In a CNN article[4] regarding the Bin Laden tape, then New York Mayor
Rudy Giuliani said that "the tape removes any doubt that the U.S.
military campaign targeting bin Laden and his associates is more than
justified." Senator Richard Shelby, R-Alabama, the vice chairman of
the Senate Intelligence Committee said, "The tape's release is
central to informing people in the outside world who don't believe
bin Laden was involved in the September 11 attacks." Shelby went on
to say "I don't know how they can be in denial after they see this
tape." Well Senator Shelby, apparently the Federal Bureau of
Investigation isn't convinced by the taped confession, so why are
you?



The Muckraker Report attempted to secure a reference to the U.S.
government authenticating the Bin Laden "confession video", to no
avail. However, it is conclusive that the Bush Administration and U.S.
Congress, along with the dead stream media, played the video as if it
was authentic. So why doesn't the FBI view the "confession
video" as hard evidence? After all, if the FBI is investigating a
crime such as drug trafficking, and it discovers a video of members of
a drug cartel opening talking about a successful distribution operation
in the United States, that video would be presented to a federal grand
jury. The identified participants of the video would be indicted, and
if captured, the video alone would serve as sufficient evidence to net
a conviction in a federal court. So why is the Bin Laden "confession
video" not carrying the same weight with the FBI?

Remember, on June 5, 2006, FBI spokesman, Chief of Investigative
Publicity Rex Tomb said, "The FBI has no hard evidence connecting
Usama Bin Laden to 9/11." This should be headline news worldwide.
The challenge to the reader is to find out why it is not. Why has the
U.S. media blindly read the government-provided 9/11 scripts, rather
than investigate without passion, prejudice, or bias, the events of
September 11, 2001? Why has the U.S. media blacklisted any guest that
might speak of a government sponsored 9/11 cover-up, rather than
seeking out those people who have something to say about 9/11 that is
contrary to the government's account? And on those few rare
occasions when a 9/11 dissenter has made it upon the airways, why has
the mainstream media ridiculed the guest as a conspiracy nut, rather
than listen to the evidence that clearly raises valid questions about
the government's 9/11 account? Why is the Big Media Conglomeration
blindly content with the government's 9/11 story when so much
verifiable information to the contrary is available with a few clicks
of a computer mouse?

Who is it that is controlling the media message, and how is it that the
U.S. media has indicted Usama Bin Laden for the events of September 11,
2001, but the U.S. government has not? How is it that the FBI has no
"hard evidence" connecting Usama Bin Laden to the events of
September 11, 2001, while the U.S. media has played the Bin Laden -
9/11 connection story for five years now as if it has conclusive
evidence that Bin Laden is responsible for the collapse of the twin
towers, the Pentagon attack, and the demise of United Flight 93?

No hard evidence connecting Usama Bin Laden to 9/11... Think about it.
