Glimpses of Bin Laden: Now WikiLeaks reveals Al Qaeda boss was seen at village meetings - despite CIA claims that they were clueless

By Mail Foreign Service

'Spotted': Among 91,000 leaked U.S. documents are claims that Osama Bin Laden was last seen in 2006

Secret files leaked about the war in Afghanistan have revealed tantalising glimpses of Osama Bin Laden despite public CIA claims that they are clueless as to the whereabouts of the Al Qaeda boss.

The claims are among 91,000 U.S. military records obtained by whistleblowing website WikiLeaks.

Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, said last month that there have been no firm leads on Bin Laden's whereabouts since the 'early 2000s'.

But a 'threat report' from the International Security Assistance Force regional command (north) on suicide bombers in August 2006 suggested Bin Laden had been attending regular meetings in villages on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

It said: 'Reportedly a high-level meeting was held where six suicide bombers were given orders for an operation in northern Afghanistan. These meetings take place once every month.'

According to the Guardian, which has received the documents, the report went on: 'The top four people in these meetings are Mullah Omar [the Taliban leader], Osama Bin Laden, Mullah Dadullah and Mullah [Baradar].'

If true, it could mean forces came close to having the opportunity to wipe out the senior leadership of the Afghan insurgency that has so far claimed the lives of 320 British soldiers.

The war logs also show that Bin Laden had a hand in a plot to poison coalition forces by adding a powder to food and drink consumed by troops as they passed through villages.

These documents also suggest coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in so-called 'blue on white' incidents which were never reported.

IS THIS SOLDIER BEHIND LEAKS?
This fresh-faced soldier could be responsible for leaking a massive file of secret military documents revealing chilling details of the Afghanistan war and civilian deaths.

The leak is said to be U.S. Army intelligence expert Bradley Manning, 22, who boasted he had downloaded hundreds of thousands of documents, according to computer hacker Adrian Lamo.

The 22-year-old, pictured above, is said to have contacted Lamo out of the blue and then claimed he had saved high-security files onto CDs, ready to hand to Wikileaks, while pretending to listen to Lady Gaga.

'Hillary Clinton and several thousand diplomats around the world are going to have a heart attack when they wake up one morning and find an entire repository of classified foreign policy is available, in searchable format, to the public,' he apparently told Mr Lamo.

The hacker got in touch with the U.S. military and later met with them in Starbucks to hand over a printout of his conversations with Manning.

Manning has already been charged over a separate leak of a classified helicopter cockpit video earlier this month.

It showed U.S. soldiers laughing as they gunned down Afghan civilians and two journalists in a firefight in Baghdad in 2007.

He was picked up in Iraq, where he was working.

Manning is said to be locked up in a military prison after being shipped across the border to Kuwait.

He faces trial by court martial and, if found guilty, a heavy jail sentence.

Mr Lamo believes Manning did not work alone, saying he did not have ‘the technological expertise’ to carry out the gathering and leaking of the documents.

'I believe somebody would have had to have been of assistance to him,’ he said.

They include claims that 16 children were among those shot or bombed in error by British troops.

The leaked military logs also reveal how a secret 'black' unit of crack special forces hunt down Taliban leaders for 'kill or capture' without trial - and voice concerns that Pakistani intelligence and Iran are supporting the insurgents.

Downing Street said it 'would lament all unauthorised releases of classified material' and the White House condemned the ' irresponsible' leak of the files.

And military and intelligence experts warned yesterday that the leaks could imperil the lives of British forces in Afghanistan.

Colonel Stuart Tootal, who in 2006 commanded 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment in Helmand Province - where more than 320 UK soldiers have been killed - said the information 'could impact on the security of our soldiers'.

He insisted Nato forces now put a 'huge emphasis' on avoiding civilian casualties.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer, a former Army captain, said: 'Although much of this information is in the public domain, the details are particularly damaging to the credibility of the coalition.

'Our enemies will be quick to exploit the propaganda element of it.

'If there are details of operational matters - locations, equipment, troops movements, resources - then soldiers' lives could be placed at risk.'

Details of the secret files, detailing military operations between 2004 and 2009, were published yesterday by the Guardian, New York times and Germany's Der Spiegel while more than 75,000 records were made available on the WikiLeaks website.

The files list 144 incidents involving Afghan civilian casualties, in which 195 died and 174 were injured.

They detail coalition forces - fearful of suicide bombers - shooting unarmed drivers and civilian motorcyclists, and record an incident when French troops opened fire at a bus full of children because it came too close to a military convoy.

Other leaked documents record a U.S. patrol machine-gunning a bus, killing or wounding 15 passengers, and Polish troops mortaring a village, killing a wedding party including a pregnant woman.

They reveal details of undercover operations by a U.S. special forces unit named task Force 373, formed to hunt down and kill or capture taliban and Al Qaeda commanders.

According to Julian Assange, the founder of the website, the files contain details of 'thousands' of potential war crimes.

At a press conference in London, he defended his decision to publish the files and claimed the high level of civilian casualties reported was in fact lower than the true figure because military personnel 'downplayed' the number or reported them as insurgent deaths.

Mr Assange said: 'We have tried hard to make sure that this material does not put innocents at harm.

'All the material is over seven months old so it is of no current operational consequence, even though it may be of very significant investigative consequence.

'The revelation of abuse by the U.S. and coalition forces may cause Afghans to be upset, and rightly so.

‘If governments don't like populations being upset, they should treat them better, not conceal abuses.'

Professor Malcolm Chalmers, a defence expert at the Royal United Services Institute think tank, said that the leaks could undermine already faltering public support for the war.

Poster Comment:

There has never been any proof that Bin Laden has died or been killed. He has repeatedly been reported to be in a very rugged area surrounded by people fiercely loyal to him.

OBL is not and has never been in direct command of operations. He sees himself as someone providing motivation and logistical support to people actually carrying out day to day operations.

Me: What'd you think, you can fly lower than the top of the light poles and not touch them somehow?

You: Who hit the light poles

Do you really need to ask? The official story alleges that Hanjour flew a 757 down to ground level at 530 mph, where the wings clipped the light poles since they were in the way.

So which is it, do you wish to debate using the "facts" alleged by the official story, or do you wish to look at eyewitness testimony which states that immediately after Flight 77 allegedly impacted the Pentagon, those poles were NOT downed?

All of it is irrelevant in regards to Hanjour's alleged skills, since the only way to have hit the Pentagon as it is alleged WOULD be to knock down those light poles. In reality, the wings would have been torn to shreds or at least sprung a massive leak if they had impacted light poles at 530 mph.

Yet, there is NO external fire visible in the videos taken soon after the aircraft is alleged to have impacted. Where'd the fuel go? If those wings hit the poles they'd be torn and spewing fuel everywhere.

Me: As far as wobbling, you haven't provided ANY evidence of that.

You: I have. There are also plenty of pictures of the tops of construction equipment being hit by the starboard wing, and eye witness testimony.

You've made many unsubstantiated claims, but I don't recall you ever posting any sort of proof in terms of eyewitness testimony stating that. Could you post a link?

Oh, and the construction equipment was obviously in the way as well, so what'd you expect, THEY would be MAGICKAL as well, and would allow the wings and/or engines to pass through them?

That's the thing, with all of these alleged collisions, the fuel would have sprayed everywhere, yet didn't.

As far as the wings wobbling, the only thing wobbling is you. Any sort of wobble at that speed would have caused the aircraft to veer to the left or to the right, resulting in the need for more exaggerated counter moves to keep the plane from crashing, which WOULD have made it crash.

Of course, if it WASN'T a 757, something like a drone or a fighter painted LIKE a AA 757, well then THAT might have wobbled a bit as it was seeking the perfect heading for the plan to work.

Me: And again, Hanjour would had to have been a superhuman pilot to fly as low as he allegedly did

You: Wrong. Ground effect keeps the plane from crashing into the ground unless the nose is pointed sharply downwards.

Planes don't fall out of the sky although there IS no ground effect above a certain altitude, which would be roughly 60 feet for a 757 according to the source I've provided.

Are you trying to say that planes rely on ground effect to stay airborne?

Ground effect provides ADDED lift, and is a function of proximity to the ground and air speed. The closer the aircraft is to the ground, the greater the ground effect. However, there is minimal ground effect at landing speed. Ground effect becomes excessive at 400 mph however, and effectively prevents the plane from going any lower. The way to descend is to slow down, yet the alleged Flight 77 SPED UP, causing ground effect to INCREASE. The plane would have been trying to climb, and it would have taken massive effort to prevent it from doing so.

It certainly couldn't have DROPPED ALTITUDE, coming within 20 feet of the ground, all while keeping the nose LEVEL, yet THAT is how the aircraft entered the Pentagon if the observed damage was in fact the result of the impact. It would have either created a large gash in the lawn leading up to the wall and not penetrated the building as deeply if the nose had been down, or it would have struck higher up the wall with a level nose since the increased ground effect would have caused it to climb.

So then, it more than likely WASN'T a 757.

Me: Keeping that plane from climbing while travelling at over 400 mph so close to the ground, all while accelerating to 530 mph. Wrong.

You: A competent ATP with 38 years experience has already been quoted, on this thread, saying "Point the nose down and fly like the devil" to do exactly that.

I'd like to see him do it in a 757 flying over 400 mph 20 feet from the ground for a distance identical to that of the alleged 757. He could prove it once and for all if it were possible.

Of course, there is NEVER any deliberate disinformation presented by "experts", right?

You're trying to sell the idea that a guy who basically crapped his pants in a Cessna 172 single engine airplane, one who couldn't even fly a circle around the airport and had trouble descending with it for a proper landing, flew a multi-engine jumbo jet (without EVER having flown ANY sort of jet before in his life) at 20 feet off the ground travelling at 530 mph.

Yeah, he "flew like the devil", that's a great scientific analysis your pal presented. He couldn't fly a paper airplane, never mind a Boeing 757 at unheard of speeds so close to the ground.

Me: He most certainly wouldn't have been able to descend to 20 feet off the ground.

You: Oh really? How do airplanes ever land then?

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

Don't you tire of misrepresenting what I've said? You know damn well I didn't claim aircraft never drop to 20 feet.

The part you left out is as follows;

"As far as wobbling, you haven't provided ANY evidence of that. And again, Hanjour would had to have been a superhuman pilot to fly as low as he allegedly did and as fast as he allegedly did, keeping that plane from climbing while travelling at over 400 mph so close to the ground, all while accelerating to 530 mph. "

Since you are apparently VERY unfamiliar with English, let me say it again...

There is no possible way on earth Hani Hanjour could have flown a Boeing 757 at 20 feet off the ground, WHILE ACCELERATING TO 530 MPH.

In fact, Hani Hanjour more than likely wouldn't have been able to fly a CESSNA 172 at IT'S top speed so close to the ground without crashing it, since he was such a lousy "pilot", one who was basically incompetent at anything related to flying an aircraft.

I have not followed this thread so I must say I don't know what side of the 911 story related to Hani Hanjour either of you represent...moving along to why I am posting to the thread, I thought both of you might get a kick out of reading MSM's description of Hani Hanjour ( spoon fed to them by the FBI) - it's pretty funnny, and even more so considering that at the time we Amerikens ( myself being one of the dumb bunnies) slurped down this stinky poopy crapola like it were sweet tasting syrup...

Enjoy!

Hani Hanjour

Obtained a commercial pilot's license in April 1999 from the Federal Aviation Administration. [ how easy peasy was that?]The license expired six months later because he failed to complete a required medical exam.[ oops - he forgot to do the one single requirement] In 1996, he received flight training for a few months at a private school in Scottsdale, Ariz., but did not finish the course because his instructors thought he was not proficient enough.[ but the FDA thought he was great no questions asked except for needing a physical exam ] He listed his address as a post office box in Taife, Saudi Arabia,[ red flag, red flag - are PO boxes even exist in SA?] but he also has been linked to addresses in San Diego and Hollywood, Fla. His name was not on the American Airlines manifest for the flight because he may not have had a ticket. [ say what????? he just waltzed on the plane 'cause he was a Big Cheese???]

That's what simulators are for. They replicate the entire performance envelope of the craft including risky maneuvers that could cause the plane to crash in real life.

But of course you don't want to concede simulators are useful and valid, because that will undermine your claim that Hanjour's completed 737 training prepared him to fly a multi engine 757.

Of course, there is NEVER any deliberate disinformation presented by "experts", right?

Anonymous self taught internet rubes are far more likely disinformation purveyors than known ATP's with publicly documented 38 year service records and a stack of endorsed log books with tens of thousands of hours of piloting time.

There is not much disagreement on whether Hanjour was a crummy pilot.

The contention comes from the CT's saying he absolutely had to be a great pilot in order to pull a 1/2 G turn, when just to get a pilot license you need to pull a 2G 360 degree turn + or - 200 feet.

And the CT's saying he absolutely had to be a great pilot in order to descend at 46.667 feet per second or 31.818 MPH vertically over the time span of 2 minutes.

I say "ridiculous" to both claims of the need for piloting to be excellent to perform at these simple levels. It's the classic strawman argument. Put up something untrue ("fighter pilot level skills needed to fly the 757"), rebut it, then claim victory.

No, that is YOUR straw man argument, it is NOT what anyone here has been saying other than you.

Air traffic controllers at Dulles International Airport thought that it was a military aircraft due to the rate of speed the jet flew and its precision turns made while descending, something not that unusual for a fighter, but highly unusual for a commercial airliner.

Flying at treetop level at 400 mph accelerating to 530 mph is not something an ordinary commercial airliner does either, in case you thought that was normal.

Thing is, Hanjour had NEVER flown ANY sort of jet aircraft in his life, and truly sucked at flying a single engine Cessna 172. No matter how many ways you try to beat a dead horse, there's no possible way Hanjour could pull off the manuevers witnessed that day while flying a multi-engine jumbo jet. He more than likely wouldn't have been able to do it in a Cessna 172 either.

Contrary to your cherry picked out of context "quote", Hanjour didn't just take over the plane as soon as it took off, and he didn't just "point the nose in the direction of the building and crash" it.

Why do you cling to this religious belief of yours, where ALL the evidence points AWAY from Hanjour having flown the plane? Where's ANY proof that HE DID?

And we're just supposed to believe YOU that it is even possible to fly 20 feet off the ground at 530 mph in a simulator, right? How many times have YOU sat in a 757 flight simulator? I can tell you the number of times Hanjour did. ZERO.

But of course you don't want to concede simulators are useful and valid, because that will undermine your claim that Hanjour's completed 737 training prepared him to fly a multi engine 757.

How many more times are you going to misrepresent the fact that Hanjour flunked out of that school? He did NOT complete the course, he hardly ever showed up for class, didn't do his homework, and couldn't understand the instructors while there, and was an extremely poor student in terms of basic flight skills.

In fact he was SO bad the school called the FAA to see if his "license" was genuine, as they thought it had to be a fake.

I see a smoke trail, and the aircraft is too small to be a 757, IF the video is even authentic.

You should read the following article, it describes how the 9/11 Commission lied about Hanjours abilities, where they tried to build him up as some sort of commericial airline pilot, where in reality he never flew a commericial aircraft, and never one larger than a twin engine Piper Apache propeller driven plane, and even THAT is highly questionable since he couldn't fly a smaller single engine plane.

Al Qaeda’s Top Gun - Willful Deception by the 9/11 Commission

Each and every instructor who delt with him described him as a awful pilot, terrible in English, and worse in terms of flight skills.

He tried to rent a single engine Cessna 172, but was refused on three different occasions because he couldn't fly it to the satisfaction of flight instructors who went with him on a check flight.

Yet he is said to have flown a Boeing 757 from Ohio to Washington DC, utilizing the aircraft's flight management computer to change the course to Washingon, yet he had never seen a 757 flight management computer before in his life.

He is then said to have made such tight precision turns while descending that air traffic controllers thought it was a military aircraft. He is then said to have leveled off at treetop level flying at 400 mph, accelerated to 530 mph, dipped down to 20 feet off the ground with the nose level, and then flew the aircraft into the Pentagon wall at the ground floor level.

All this from a person who couldn't fly a Cessna 172 in a circle around an airport.

Even if he did fly it, why weren't the windows broken?

He'll need to ask for some talking points on that one. It's probably going to be a delayed response since it's a weekend and the Ministry of Truth is understaffed today.

Anonymous self taught internet rubes are far more likely disinformation purveyors than known ATP's with publicly documented 38 year service records and a stack of endorsed log books with tens of thousands of hours of piloting time.

You think yourself smarter and more of an expert than commercial airline pilots, aeronautical engineers, flight instructors, and seasoned air traffic controllers.

So yeah, you are just an Internet rube talking trash.

Air traffic controllers at Dulles International Airport thought that it was a military aircraft due to the rate of speed the jet flew and its precision turns made while descending, something not that unusual for a fighter, but highly unusual for a commercial airliner.

You keep flogging that 1 ATC quote which you don't even place in its full context.

The controller says nothing about misidentifying the 757 as a military jet, simply that you aren't supposed to fly a commercial jet in what she called an "unsafe" manner for a 757 passenger airliner.

The ATC didn't just haphazardly pick a 757 instead of a 737, 747, or PA-125 in her statement. She knew the jet they observed with no transponder signal was supposed to be a hijacked 757.

The claim that a turn covering 270 to 330 degrees is garbage because mid turn the plane disappeared from radar. How does somebody who doesn't even see the last half of a 270 to 330 degree turn become qualified to say whether the turn was "precision" or not? HAHAHAHA.

What you're pinning all your hopes on, is that according to one ATC, descending at 46 feet per second or 31.818 MPH vertically, is supposed to be "unsafe." HAHAHAHA.

That means any pilot who pulls a 2G turn and descends at 100 feet per second or more is either "unsafe" or has "fighter pilot" skill levels. HAHAHAHHA.

Like I said earlier, all your out-of-context ATC statement really means is what my first ground control instructor said: ATC's and airline execs don't want their passenger jets to spill any passenger drinks. Well good for them. That simply was not in the cards when an aircraft got hijacked by a suicide pilot who wasn't interested in landing safely.

That doesn't mean the plane was not a hijacked 757 just because the hijacker chose to fly a plane into a building in a way not anticipated by people in the towers.

What an desperate rube talking trash you're becoming trying to conflate off the cuff ATC remarks into some evidence of a conspiracy.

From your own link.

Airline pilot Patrick Smith, writing for Salon, said that it was one of "the more commonly heard myths that pertain to the airplanes and their pilots" that "the terrorist pilots lacked the skill and training to fly jetliners into their targets.

This is an extremely popular topic with respect to American 77. Skyjacker Hani Hanjour, a notoriously untalented flier who never piloted anything larger than a four- seater, seemed to pull off a remarkable series of aerobatic maneuvers before slamming into the Pentagon." Smith’s answer to this was simply to flip conventional wisdom on its head. He opined that "If anything, his loops and turns and spirals above the nation’s capital revealed him to be exactly the shitty pilot he by all accounts was. To hit the Pentagon squarely he needed only a bit of luck, and he got it...

...

Similarly quoted was George Williams, a pilot for Northwest Airlines for 38 years, who said, "I don’t see any merit to those arguments [that Hanjour couldn’t have flown Flight 77 into the Pentagon]. The Pentagon is a pretty big target and I’d say hitting it was a fairly easy thing to do."

Both your quotes are footnoted and are from qualified personnel with decades of actually flying airplanes, internet talking rube. Deal with them.

Pilots for 9/11 Truth is an organization of aviation professionals and pilots throughout the globe who have gathered together for one purpose. We are committed to seeking the truth surrounding the events of the 11th of September 2001. Our main focus concentrates on the four flights, maneuvers performed and the reported pilots. We do not offer theory or point blame at this point in time. However, we are focused on determining the truth of that fateful day based on solid data and facts -- since 9/11/2001 is the catalyst for many of the events shaping our world today -- and the United States Government doesn't seem to be very forthcoming with answers or facts.

We stand with the numerous other growing organizations of Firefighters, Medical Professionals, Lawyers, Scholars, Scientists, Architects and Engineers, Veterans, Religious and Political Leaders, along side family members of the victims -- family members of soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice -- including the many Ground Zero workers who are now ill or have passed away, when we ask for a true, new independent investigation into the events of 9/11. We do not accept the 9/11 Commission Report and/or "hypothesis" as a satisfactory explanation for the sacrifice every American has made and continues to make -- some more than others.

Thank you for taking the time to inform yourself.

Even if he did fly it, why weren't the windows broken where the wings would have hit them?

Well, you see, the wings struck the steel reinforced concrete along their leading edges close to the fuselage and then they immediately folded up and into the fuselage, similar to the way fighter wings fold before being lowered below deck on carriers.

Of course had the plane's wings folded with the engines facing out the building would have shown the impact of the combined tonnage of the heavy, solid alloy engines, and that would have been more likely to damage the facade than the relatively soft nose of the plane.

ERGO, the engines folded up and in facing the fuselage, but that presents another problem. In order for the wings to fold that neatly along the fuselage the engines would have met inside the plane, and the combined width of the engines is wider than the narrow-body on every 757 fuselage that hasn't been "subject to govt explainin'".

And, if the engines were pointed down (on wings that rotated 90 degrees while folding) the fuselage should have been neatly sheared where the engines met, crushing the plane shell between them before vaporizing against each other.(the engines' length on the vertical being roughly equal to the diameter of the fuselage.) It's unlikely that the crushed shell would survive being sandwiched between engines that were vaporized. (Were you shocked that there were no graphic simulations of American Airlines Flight 77 miraculous wing folding phenomenon the way they fabbed up the colorful but incorrect CGI cartoons of the WTC collapse? Mee neether)

So, the wings and engines must have been traveling at such incredible folding speeds that the high tensile-multiple alloy engines were literally flattened and liquified on impact with each other inside the plane, and the two large pieces of the now sheared shell followed the same trajectory into the building, all because the main wing struts were able to bend like soft rubber to tangential angles without the wings shearing off the way they do when commercial jets hit trees and all other "steel reinforced hardened concrete bomb proof military headquarters".

The fact that the govt wants us to believe that something like this is what really happened is all we need to know, and any science or physics that raise doubts may be disregarded.

9/11 may be summarized thus: As you know, govt spokesmen are rock solid reliable, more so than any inconvenient or "incongruous math calculations or scientific principles."

The problem of course, if you want to try playing the appeal to authority card, is that there are a lot more experienced pilots who disagree with your 2 commentators many of whom have every bit as much flying experience

And the problem with your appeal to numbers card is that as of 2006, there were over 597,000 active licensed pilots in the US, of which about 596,000 were not in the "Pilots for 911 Truth" and either actively opposed their theories, or thought they were irrelevant. And several hundred thousand additional inactive pilots who were also not in "Pilots for 911 Truth."

So we're back to Less Than Six Percenter territory.

How Many Pilots in US

As of the end of 2006, there were 597,109 active certificated pilots, according to the AOPA Jan. 12, 07 newsletter which cites the FAA's estimates. This number has been declining slowly over the long term, down from a high of over 827,000 pilots in 1980. The numbers include:

84,866 student pilots
242 recreational pilots
939 sport pilots
236,148 private pilots
130,234 commercial pilots
144,681 airline transport pilots

Within those groups, there were:

37,837 glider pilots
10,511 balloon pilots
41,306 rotor (helicopter) pilots

That would actually be a useful outcome. The problem with this passionate clinging to unsupported whodunit theories, is it takes people's focus away from current events and how to deal with them.

I've repeatedly posted that while a rather small percentage believes the USG actually engineered the destruction of the buildings on 911, a much larger percentage believes certain elements within the USG had some advance knowledge and chose to look the other way, allowing it to happen to bring about causus belli which would allow them to carry out their agenda.

However the small percentage which believes in active participation ,spends most of its time attacking the larger percentage which believes in passive neglect. The internecine fighting then distracts from the overriding issue of "What's happened has happened. Now how do we deal with the consequences of it, here and now?" The small percentage is unable to provide any solutions, because they can't even completely define how their active conspiracy scenarios were implemented.

Now go to your next move, k00ksite denial of facts, claiming the parts weren't of a 757 engine but they can't specify with any certainty what they are from, because that would require supportable evidence of their own, and their denials have been debunked hundreds of times too.

I don't think you can do that with a 757. It's not even elegant using an A-6 Skyraider.

You neglected to mention that the second photo was a picture that was released as an exhibit during the Zacarias Moussaoui terrorist trial in 2006 and never seen by any honest observers before that date. And, this by the same govt that is so Hell bent on "stage managing all evidence" that they threatened to prosecute those who secured a piece of evidence from TWA Flight 800 to test it for missile fuel residue. Is this the act of a govt that seeks "sunlight, the best disinfectant"?

No, you cannot sell your crock 'o shit here because we ain't on the payroll and we ain't part of the secret homosexual pedophile cabal that is the US Government.

And, between your endless fellatio-of-govt-by-proxy sessions do you ever take a breath and ask, "If a picture is worth a thousand words then why are all of the surveillance videos of that day under lock and key?" Simply put, if that doesn't arouse your suspicions and result in forceful demands for justice then you will never have any credibility with honest, patriotic Americans who are capable of adult reasoning and who want the truth.

Perhaps you should continue to haunt places where like minded cowards on the govt payroll will agree with any "official findings", (i.e. "Oswald was the lone gunman 'cause the Warren Commission said so") that won't jeopardize the stolen or extorted tax dollars that buy the loyalty of the likes of you)

And, what proof did the govt offer other than "You can believe us 'cause we wouldn't lie about sumthin' like that!" that this was photographed at the Pentagon?

Your intentional omission of the source of the photo is proof that you're aware of the absurdity of offering the govt's word to "prove" that the govt (or Satan, or Jay Pollard or FBI spy Robert Hanssen) isn't lying. The only other possibility is that you really are that fucking dumb, in which case you'd believe your own wife's testimony against you in divorce court: "Well, the little woman has testified and if she said it then it must be true so, there's no need for me to testify, Your Honor!"

pwned indeed.

And while we're on the subject of Zacarias Moussaoui; "According to the Associated Press, three jurors decided Moussaoui had only limited knowledge of the September 11 plot, and three described his role in the attacks as minor, if he had any role at all."

It's a real bitch when carefully selected jurors don't follow the script the way govt profilers and psychologists anticipate, isn't it? NO WONDER the govt insists of kangaroo military tribunals for selected civilians. That's how the govt guaranteed the conviction and hanging of Mary Surratt. (You didn't really believe that "the Warren Commission Report=case closed!" was the earliest "precedent of corruption" in use by our govt, did you?)

And, speaking of you, You really are a criminal co-conspirator after the fact, aren't you?

I don't think you can do that with a 757. It's not even elegant using an A-6 Skyraider.

That's right.

Actually, my post would have been better served by using the example of a bird's wings folding neatly along side the critter's "fuselage", but, hopefully the folks whose opinions we value got the picture.
