An Explosive New 9/11 Charge

In a new documentary, ex-national security aide Richard Clarke suggests the CIA tried to recruit 9/11 hijackers—then covered it up. Philip Shenon on George Tenet’s denial.

By Philip Shenon

August 11, 2011 "
Daily Beast" - -With the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks only a month away, former CIA Director George Tenet and two former top aides are fighting back hard against allegations that they engaged in a massive cover-up in 2000 and 2001 to hide intelligence from the White House and the FBI that might have prevented the attacks.
The source of the explosive, unproved allegations is a man who once considered Tenet a close friend: former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, who makes the charges against Tenet and the CIA in an interview for a radio documentary timed to the 10th anniversary next month. Portions of the Clarke interview were made available to The Daily Beast by the producers of the documentary.

In the interview for the documentary, Clarke offers an incendiary theory that, if true, would rewrite the history of the 9/11 attacks, suggesting that the CIA intentionally withheld information from the White House and FBI in 2000 and 2001 that two Saudi-born terrorists were on U.S. soil – terrorists who went on to become suicide hijackers on 9/11.

Isn't this or something like this what many of us "suspected" from the onset.??? Loyalties, patriotism and other such honorable feelings aside.........it is wise to NEVER TAKE WHAT THE USG SAYS as the unvarnished truth. What we were told about 9-11 was probably a good percentage fiction. The reasons for the wars that followed on cue were based on more fiction......only the rich and pwerful know for sure and they ain't talking. How OBL was handled , the timing of "locating" him and how it all went down in that ugly UNCIVILIZED wa;y.... and with the almost immediate body dumping at sea. (sleep with the fishes .......has more dignity and poetry to it than what the US did. Then comes a chopper explosion that just happens to be carrying the same seals that slaughtered OBL at close range in front of his kids and family.....

If anyone takes any of the "G" explanations for any of these events starting with 9-11 at face value .......might want to do a serious re-think and consider how the gov't has duped the people that were already brainwashed ...to accept what ever is stuffed down their throat repetatively until their brains are completely programmed.

We are NOT talking conspiracy theories in the way folks throw those terms around with such disdain. We are talking what is truly possible and plausible. Somewhere, there are folks that KNOW the truth , If they have not met with their own demise.

I guess if there are enough delusional people out there the number of spins that could be put on this event would be infinite, but that doesn't change the fact that 99% of the world KNEW what happened by 9/12. :lol:

seems that folks can simply make a choice. Believe at face value what the USG told them ...as to who was behind that event and how that event influenced certains wars that followed and the REAL motives behind them. OR one can remain open to new information and serious assessment and evaluation of the event and the many atrocities that took place since then,

It is a no brainer that 9-11 changed everything. And to even consider that the leadership of the time did not know about something pending .......with all their suposedly sophisticated "intelligence".......and info interpreters.........is naive at best. It is also a no brainer to see how the event served the USG in many ways to achieve agendas had planned.......but needed a catalyst that would the population feel ok with more wars . particularly when the gang mentality wants revenge and does not care how much or who is slaughtered in the process.

The US always needs an enemy. what better than one that is vague, can be placed/ found anywhere and everywhere , and defined on minimal evidence.........?? Low and behold suddenly the US has an"excuse" -terriorism - to militarily go wherever it wants as it suits its imperialistic purposes.

Seems we as the populous need to be a lot more questioning, a lot more seeking and demanding the truth (without falling for the "national security " excuse for secrecy of things that cover more atrocities than any civilization should have to deal with. We don't have to buy into every thing the leaders tell us as if it were "gospel" (even gospel is not based on fact ) We DO need to employ our critical thinking and analytical capabilities .... and not allow ourselves to become lazy , or complacent.

What we don't need to do .....is dismiss info or some theories as "conspiracy " theories as quickly as some do.Just because it is easier than given some of the ideas due consideration ....

All is very seldom as it is stated, ....or as it seems. Doing some detective work about these major events.. makes one a lot less gullible.

.

All they "knew" was what was shown on TV and what the talking heads told them. In no way can either cover the real truths , when so much dramatization and hysteria was taking place.

that was the key cleverness of the event itself. It was sudden,(the value of a major shock factor) well planned, only a few knew about it to minimize leaks. and making the terror act done by so called "terrorists" on board the planes.(suicidal terrorists tell no tales, ).......effectively getting rid of any witnesses. Everything else then becomes heresay. But instead of following a chain of evidence due to the fact the terror attack was a CRIME.....it was spun so that one hardly known bloke became the object of hatred while his family was flown out of the country "for their safety". (when in criminal cases.......family and other close contacts of suspects are to be kept within contact distance for exhaustive interviews.

and that is how the biggest lie in US history began. That day.........the truth, the law and facts/ evidence became the casualty of everything that happened that day and from then on.

one reassuring factor exists: at some point.....maybe not even in our life times........the TRUTH will come to light....it always does.

the thing about all this is that everyone has their views. so that alone does not make one view better or more factual than another.

questions remain as they should. History detectives...... have their work cut out for them wiith this event.

Just sounds like more boneheaded paranoid conspiracy theories to me. The innuendo in what the OP cites is that the U.S. government deliberately silenced the SEAL team that took out bin Laden. That's even dumber than most of the 911 conspiracy theories.

Ten years after should have spawned a few books and at least one movie by now. We all know how great some folk are at keeping secrets.

You sure got that right. And some secrets must be kept OR......

( for eg the lies/ secrets and motives for the Iraq invasion . Some unexplained "deaths" remain unsolved and not even place on cold case files.)

Given our access to information......makes one pause,

OT for a second : but in keeping with the theme..........one wonders how Assange of Wikileaks has remained alive to date.

what is stranger is that it is plausible because it seems too rediculous to consider. The thing is that when a gov't can do as dirty a deed as it did with OBL ,as in getting rid of the key witness by premeditated assassination/ cold blooded murder.... one can no longer be naive about the lengths they will go .......Power. greed, are powerful motivators.

There are no greedy or power hungry lunatics in Nor Am or EU. It's just Muzzies who hate our freedom.

Seriously, you think ridiculousness adds plausibility, because nobody could possibly be that stupid? I assure you, people can be, and some are. Ever heard of Richard Hoagland? Or check out eanassir's life on Mars thread that cites a guy who claimed there's evidence of civilization on Mars after analyzing an image he was too dumb to know was not a photograph of the Martian surface but a calculated artifact of a digital terrain model. Suppose I gave you a book titled "Proof of the 9/11 Conspiracy" and it consisted of 300 blank pages prefaced by a disclaimer that said "This material is so secret we cannot reveal it." Would that convince you of anything? That's essentially the nature of the argument you're making.

Now who is more believable, The US government or the tinfoil hat crowd? Note: The Guardian and the national Enquirer are not reliable news sources.

......Well IF it so "secret" they cannot reveal it and the book is filled with blank pages.........seems one has a best seller in the works;-)

....Neither.

Yes we are, it even says so in your own cut and paste...

In the interview for the documentary, Clarke offers an incendiary theory that, if true, would rewrite the history of the 9/11 attacks, suggesting that the CIA intentionally withheld information from the White House and FBI in 2000 and 2001 that two Saudi-born terrorists were on U.S. soil – terrorists who went on to become suicide hijackers on 9/11.

You really should read your cut and pastes better. maybe if you took off your anti American blinder. You wouldn't make so many ridiculous posts.

Believe at face value what the USG told them ...
Or a theory, just because it perpetuates your anti Americanism and makes good fodder for your idiotic posts.
