-
Hours after the 9/11 attacks, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld is given information that three of the names on the airplane passenger manifests are suspected al-Qaeda operatives. The notes he composes at the time are leaked nearly a year later - obviously links that were under observation
-
- Rumsfeld writes he wants the 'best info fast. Judge whether good enough hit S.H. [Saddam Hussein] at same time. Not only UBL [Usama bin Laden] Go massive. Sweep it all up. Things related & not.'
-
It is later revealed that shortly after 9/11, Rumsfeld sets up 'a small team of defense officials outside regular intelligence channels to focus on unearthing details about Iraqi ties with al-Qaeda & other terrorist networks.' there was no reason whatsoever to have given the slightest thought about anything of Saddam at this time - they had already labeled Bin Laden; there was never data on a connection between these 2 enemies of each other. WHY DID SADDAM'S NAME SUDDENLY COME UP OUT OF THE BLUE considering later evidence would prove no connection to Bin Laden, nor terrorists
-
Washington Post will report in May 2002 that Defense Secretary 'Rumsfeld has been so determined to find a rationale for an attack that on 10 separate occasions he asked the CIA to find evidence linking Iraq to the terror attacks of Sept. 11. The intelligence agency repeatedly came back empty-handed.'

- TV news coverage on 9/11 repeatedly shows images of Palestinians rejoicing over the 9/11 attack. According to Mark Crispin Miller, a Professor of Media Studies at New York University who investigated the issue, the footage was filmed during the funeral of nine people killed the day before by Israeli authorities. He said 'to show it without explaining the background, & to show it over & over again is to make propaganda for the war machine & is irresponsible.'

- the US releases a video of bin Laden that seems to confirm his role in the 9/11 attack. Guardian, 12/13/01
-
However, a number of strange facts about this video soon emerge.
-
- For one, all previous videos had been made with the consent of bin Laden, & usually released to the Arabic TV channel Al Jazeera.
-
- This video was supposedly recorded without his knowledge, found in a house in Afghanistan, & then passed to the CIA by an unknown person or group.
-
- Experts point out that it would be possible to fake such a video. So many people doubt the video's authenticity that Bush soon makes a statement, saying it was 'preposterous for anybody to think this tape was doctored. Those who contend it's a farce or a fake are hoping for the best about an evil man.'
-
Some observers point out bin Laden is wearing a ring on his right hand. In previous films, he had worn no jewelry apart from a watch Guardian
-
The German television show Monitor does an independent translation that questions the translation given by the Pentagon. Says Professor Gernot Rotter, scholar of Islamic & Arabic Studies at the University of Hamburg, 'This tape is of such poor quality that many passages are unintelligible. & those that are intelligible have often been taken out of context, so that you can't use that as evidence.
-
The American translators who listened to the tape & transcribed it obviously added things that they wanted to hear in many places.' Monitor
