War, War, War See other War, War, War Articles Title: Osama never charged for 9/11 inside job likely Osama Bin Laden's death is being celebrated, and everyone seems to repeat the old myth that he was indeed the mastermind behind the terror attacks of 9/11. Osama Bin Laden was never formally charged. At least that is what the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation says, which is responsible for reporting to the Department of Justice in this matter. If anyone is surprised by this fact, which one could be excused for as it is very rarely mentioned by your friendly television pundit, read for yourself what Rex Tom, FBI Director of Investigative Publicity, stated about the FBI's position: “The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then 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 connecting bin Laden to 9/11.” Must Read Bin LadenOfficials: Osama Bin Laden Dead A Chinese national flag sways in front of Google China's headquartersYour location 'extremely valuable' to Google Sponsorship Link How to make money from gold investment Now, in a constitutional state in which the exercise of governmental power is constrained by the rule of law - which usually assumes the innocence of an individual if not proven otherwise by a formal trial before appropriate courts - this lack of evidence to even bring forward charges and start a trial could have been a hindrance. The U.S. government saw it differently and bombed Afghanistan just weeks after September 9, 2001, as usual without a formal declaration of war, with one of the top priorities "to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden". It doesn't even need mentioning that the waterboarding in Guantanamo Bay of various detainees rounded up without charges is beyond anything which a constitutional government could ever do. From the moment of ordering unconstitutional torture and wars, any government simply ceases to be constitutional. And there is very apparently continuity of the U.S. government in acting unconstitutional, unbound by the rule of law. The current U.S. president Barack Obama gave a live speech shortly after the death of Osama Bin Laden was announced, boasting about the success that he said was his personal priority order. Right at the beginning of the speech (Full-text), he repeated the unfounded myth, which can thus also be called a lie, that Bin Laden would be responsible for the 9/11 terror attacks. That may be former president Bush's and Obamas personal opinion - but it just goes against the clear assessment of the responsible government authority. Obama goes on to say: "And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice." So Obama personally ordered the death of someone who is charged with no crime. What justice does he refer to then? That can only be self justice then, which is the same kind of justice that every murderer on earth uses as the reason to kill someone. Now, probably few care about the death of Usama, who was a terrorist after all. But how about the 5 women and 4 children that were killed one week ago, at April 22 as reported by BBC, by U.S. military drone in Pakistan, when missiles hit not just a building with suspected militants, but also a family house? And this is not a single incident at all. In Obama's "war on al-Qaeda", as he proudly called it in his speech, over 700 innocent civilians were massacred by drones in Pakistan alone, so far. In March, 40 innocent people were killed in an attack on a tribal meeting, in February, 9 children, as young as 8 years old, were killed by U.S. helicopters, and so on. The connection between Bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks was made by the Bush administration, at the morning of the attacks, before the first tower even collapsed. Nearly ten years later, after intensive investigation, a government commission, two wars and the interrogation under torture of some 750 people detained in Guantanamo Bay without charges, no hard evidence could be found that would confirm the initial allegation. But something else is much more worrying than the missing link to Bin Laden - there are still many open questions of what really happened at the fateful day of 9/11/2001. The families of victims, and thousands of engineers, architects, politicians, professors and other citizens, demand a real investigation of the events and the responsible parties. According to their judgement, the official explanations, including blaming Bin Laden and Al Qaeda for everything, without proper evidence, are insufficient. To just highlight the most obvious and easy to see discrepancy: At the World Trade Center site, three towers collapsed, but only two were hit by an airplane. The third tower, WTC7, was at a significant distance of the other two towers, more far from them then several other skyscrapers, with no other tower significantly damaged. WTC7 collapsed suddenly, very fast and evenly. The official explanation is that a fire in a few floors would have caused this. But no skyscraper ever collapsed due to a fire before 9/11, and none did after. The open question in this case is: was WTC7 the only tower in history that collapsed because of burning furniture - or are the engineers right who insist that the only realistic explanation is a controlled demolition with explosive charges expertly planted at the foundations of the tower? None the less, the same unfounded 11 am allegation of the Bush administration is repeated by countless people, in media and government, even today and it is still used to continue unconstitutional and ruinous wars, which claim the life's of hundreds of thousands of civilians and leave the international reputation of the United States blood stained.

Did you catch the show the other night about Watergate? Here is a link to a site from that night. Lots of very interesting info.
Mark If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).---Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower
