Usually those who are on terrorist watch list's record on the computer file will signal a red flag indicating that they are on CIA's watch list. Damn, only if the fbi, nsa, dia and the faa were paying attention especially with the forewarnings they've received...sighs...

But that was NOT your point, you dweeb. You asked me to prove to you that these men were A. on the plane, and B. had terrorist ties. I feel I have done that sufficiently.
You have no point. You're bouncing around from one theory to the next, all the while ignoring every valid point that gets thrown at you. You've been refuted every step of the way in this thread, but you just ignore the point and move along to another "oh yeah!!? well what if they were transported there by a fairy!!??" sort of comment.

Also it's a part of airliner's policy that when someone who is not an US citizen and buys a one way ticket, they will require to go through extra screening during boarding, and this was also before 9/11.

Dumbass, at least four out of the five DID go through extra screening at the checkpoint. See the pictures.
It's not that there wasn't information on these guys already out there. The problem was that agencies were out of the habit of sharing knowledge and communicating. As one of your OWN links told us, the FAA and the Pentagon didn't even have their systems linked in order to streamline the process if a hijacking were to occur.
Like Ant already said, we just weren't prepared for this. We took our security for granted, so the left hand never knew what the right hand was doing. It wasn't that those men were evil geniuses, it's that we were lazy and apathetic, and didn't pay attention to what was going on right under our noses. Various pundits and policy makers will tell you that neither Clinton nor Bush took the threat of terrorism seriously enough.

Also, are you sure he was able pull a highly trained type of maneuver while flying a boeing 757 before hitting the pentagon?[/url]

Yes, and the chief instructor confirmed this for us. He probably knows better than you and cooperativeresearch.org.

They got onto the plane on whose account? The CIA? The conspiracy theorist inside me tells me that since they had little ties to al Qaeda and radical islam, they were perfect candidates as patsies.

The bullshit detector in me tells me that you're an idiot, and that you also can't back up a thing you're claiming (other than with another link to cooperative research).
PROVE THAT THEY HAD "LITTLE" TIES TO AL QAEDA AND RADICAL ISLAM.
PROVE IT. I've already proven otherwise, so give it a shot.
Look Geggy, I'm going to ask something of you that Max has asked of OAO. Before you click "submit", I'd like for you to print out the things you write, look yourself in a mirror, and read them to yourself before you post them here. I think this could be helpful for you.
Geggy, do fires happen near fire houses? Do crimes occur near police stations? Have you ever SEEN the NSA office building, Geggy? I drive past it quite frequently. Just like any other government agency, it's a big bureacracy with a lot of staff members and departments. It's predominantly run by civilians and bureacrats.
So please, expalin to me what in God's name is the relevance in how close they were to the physical office space? Is it terrible irony? Yes. Is it unfortunate? Of course. Is it an indication of some nefarious government cover up? I shouldn't even have to answer that.

By the way, speaking of patsies, do you still think moussaoui had
anything to do with 9/11? Even "bin Laden" said he had no involvement in the audio tape that was released the other day. What was he doing in the US taking up aviation training? Why did they so desperately want him to be granted a death penalty?
|
They wanted to kill him becasue he had a role in the mass murder of over 3,000 Americans. I'm glad they spared his rotten life though.
I think Ant already covered your hypocrisy regarding this Bin Laden stuff.

I have no interest in what you or Geggy specifically believe. As long as your "movement" remains what it is, a bunch of internet google searchers, ivory tower Leftists, and stupid Europeans, than I have no gripe with it.
My concern however, and my point in wasting time on these threads, is that you and Geggy drag down the entire debate with this nonsense. You certainly don't speak for a significant portion of the population, but that won't stop critics on the Right from allowing you to reflect that (which is why, if you noticed, folks like Blanco joke that you must be working for the RNC).
I not only think it's important that you're conspiracies get refuted, I also think it's important that liberals and so-called progressives dismiss this crap as well. Loudly.
There are problems in this country, and there are specifically gripes to be had with the Bush administration and the GOP. But it's important, IMO, that liberals and other Leftists stop playing into this stupid Bush hating, U.$. hating shit that has been so prevalent since the 1960's. Look back at some of the progressives and populists in our past-- Bob La Follette, Al Smith, and William jennings Bryan. These men were very critical of American imperial ambitions, but were
also patriots (and often very Christian). They understood the place and purpose of their criticism, and weren't simply anti-American by default, not if logic, reason, and patriotism were to be exhausted in its place.
I think it's the responsibility of Leftists to dismiss your theories. And it's kind of fun.
