Alleged Hijackers May Have Trained at U.S. Bases: The Pentagon has turned over military records on five men to the FBI By George Wehrfritz, Catharine Skipp and John Barry NEWSWEEK Sept. 15 — U.S. military sources have given the FBI information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the planes that were used in Tuesday’s terror attacks received training at secure U.S. military installations in the 1990s. • Shop at http://B&N.com • Auctions at uBid • Yellow Pages • Personals Channel • Professional Tips • Shopping THREE OF THE alleged hijackers listed their address on drivers licenses and car registrations as the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla.—known as the “Cradle of U.S. Navy Aviation,” according to a high-ranking U.S. Navy source. Another of the alleged hijackers may have been trained in strategy and tactics at the Air War College in Montgomery, Ala., said another high-ranking Pentagon official. The fifth man may have received language instruction at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Tex. Both were former Saudi Air Force pilots who had come to the United States, according to the Pentagon source. But there are slight discrepancies between the military training records and the official FBI list of suspected hijackers—either in the spellings of their names or with their birthdates. One military source said it is possible that the hijackers may have stolen the identities of the foreign nationals who studied at the U.S. installations. • MSNBC coverage • MSNBC: photos, video The five men were on a list of 19 people identified as hijackers by the FBI on Friday. The three foreign nationals training in Pensacola appear to be Saeed Alghamdi and Ahmad Alnami, who were among the four men who allegedly commandeered United Airlines Flight 93. That flight crashed into rural Pennsylvania. The third man who may have trained in Pensacola, Ahmed Alghamdi, allegedly helped highjack United Airlines Flight 75, which hit the south tower of the World Trade Center. Military records show that the three used as their address 10 Radford Boulevard, a base roadway on which residences for foreign-military flight trainees are located. In March 1997, Saeed Alghamdi listed the address to register a 1998 Oldsmobile; five months later he used it again to register a second vehicle, a late model Buick. Drivers licenses thought to have been issued to the other two suspects in 1996 and 1998 list the barracks as their residences. NEWSWEEK visited the base early Saturday morning, where military police confirmed that the address housed foreign military flight trainees but denied access past front barricades. Officials at the base confirmed that the FBI is investigating the three students. It is not unusual for foreign nationals to train at U.S. military facilities. A former Navy pilot told NEWSWEEK that during his years on the base, “we always, always, always trained other countries’ pilots. When I was there two decades ago, it was Iranians. The shah was in power. Whoever the country du jour is, that’s whose pilots we train.” Candidates begin with “an officer’s equivalent of boot camp,” he said. “Then they would put them through flight training.” The U.S. has a long-standing agreement with Saudi Arabia—a key ally in the 1990-91 gulf war—to train pilots for its National Guard. Candidates are trained in air combat on several Army and Navy bases. Training is paid for by Saudi Arabia.

I think I posted this here before.

Two of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers had a support network in the United States that included agents of the Saudi government, and the Bush administration and FBI blocked a congressional investigation into that relationship. From the Congressional Record: *The Administration's decision to classify this information prevents the American people from having access to information about the involvement of certain foreign governments in the terrorist attacks of September 2001. *It is the sense of the Senate that in light of these findings the President should declassify the 28-page section ...that deals with foreign sources of support for the 9-11 hijackers, and that only those portions of the report that would directly compromise ongoing investigations or reveal intelligence sources and methods should remain classified. *My judgment is 95 percent of that information should be declassified and become uncensored so the American people would know." Asked why the section was blacked out, Shelby said: "I think it might be embarrassing to international relations." So why hasn't it been declassified? "First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. Then they fight you. Then you win." --Mahatma K. Gandhi
What is left unsaid in all this is that America and the West's adventures in the Balkans (and in Chechnya and in Central Asia) directly led to the events that set up 9/11. The 9/11 hijackers were well known vets of the Muslim jihad armies in the Balkans and were trained and supplied by the CIA and MI6 and other Western Intel concerns. It has always been my thesis that the 9/11 terrorists were allowed to enter into the USA not through some sort of American ignorance/mistake but because these men were part of a vast CIA jihad training program that operated out of the USA in the 90s. That is the true secret of 9/11 - not that there were demolition units that brought down the Towers and other nonsense. Now the question arises was 9/11 a blow-back by CIA assets that went rogue? Was the CIA hoping that if they brought these animals into the USA that they would carry out a terrorist attack with the neocons or oil barons or both waiting to take advantage of the carnage? Or was there an element(s) within our govt working in league in some capacity with the terrorists to help them carry out 9/11? (maybe a little of all 3 scenarios?) That is the true 9/11 question.

Alleged Hijackers. I think alleged is a key concept.

What's the big deal; they all missed the 9-11 flights, anyway.
LOL! No turban wearing Arabs [CIA assets or not!] were flyin' anything that wrecked that day. And the towers sure as hell didn't come STRAIGHT down without some serious help. And I get so tired of saying it because even a child can see the illogic in it. 911 was an inside job BUMP!
