Rice Testifies: LIES A SIXTH GRADER WOULD NOT ACCEPT |
| The
suspect lied. And if the suspect lied then the suspect's story
is not true. And if the suspect's story is not true then the
suspect is, in all probability, guilty as hell or withholding
material evidence of someone else's guilt. |

| Questions
for Dr. Rice |
| The
director of the National Security Agency reportedly told a closed
session of that committee that on Sept. 10, 2001, his agency
intercepted messages by the 9/11 hijackers. The messages, which
went untranslated until Sept. 12, were reportedly not to Osama
bin Laden but to Saudi clerics. |

OPEN LETTER TO CONDOLEEZZA RICE "You Are a Liar"

| Rice
Never Spoke About Al-Qaeda, bin Laden Before 9/11 |
| Richard
Clarke was right. So was Paul O'Neill. During the six months
before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Bush administration paid
little attention to the threat from al-Qaeda and instead set
the stage for a war with Iraq. |
| |
| Rice
saw Russia, China as the major threats |
| In
the months and days leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, senior White House officials were obsessed not with
Islamic terrorism, but with Russia and China, which they believed
posed the most serious threats in the world. |

| Fact
Check: Condi Rice's '60 Minutes' Interview |
| National
Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice appeared on CBS's "60
Minutes" in an effort to quell growing questions surrounding
the administration's inconsistent claims about its pre-9/11
actions. Not only did Rice refuse to take Richard Clarke's lead
and admit responsibility for her role in the worst national
security failure in American history, but she continued to make
unsubstantiated and contradictory assertions: |
| |
| September
11 Should Have Been Stopped |
| Surely
we were victims of terrorism on September 11, but was this unavoidable?
Are the Washington Post, Condoleezza Rice and others correct
in stating that no one anticipated these kinds of attacks? The
facts say no. |
| |
| FBI
whistleblower says Rice is lying; Bush knew al-Qaida was planning
attack |
| A
former translator for the FBI with top-secret security clearance
says she has provided information to the panel investigating
the 11 September attacks which proves senior officials knew
of al-Qaida's plans to attack the US with aircraft months before
the strikes happened. She said the claim by the National Security
Adviser, Condoleezza Rice, that there was no such information
was "an outrageous lie". |

Edmonds-Translator's Story |

Asked FBI Translator To Change Pre 9-11 Intercepts-by Tom Flocco |
| FBI
translator Sibel Edmonds was offered a substantial raise and
a full time job to encourage her not to go public that she had
been asked by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to retranslate
and adjust the translations of [terrorist] subject intercepts
that had been received before September 11, 2001 by the FBI
and CIA. |

Edmonds, a translator who worked at the FBI's language division,
says the documents weren't translated because the divison was
riddled with incompetence and corruption. |

| Whistleblower
Sibel Edmonds could soon become the thorniest of thorns in the
side of the most secretive administration in American history.
Whether she does or not depends on whether or not the American
public will stand up and challenge the Department of Justice’s
attempt to quash the truth, avoid accountability and bury the
facts behind lies, double speak and the National Security trump
card. |

as a judge prepares to permanently silence her, a former FBI

network to a global drug trafficking ring. |

MOVES TO INVOKE STATE SECRETS PRIVILEGE TO PREVENT FBI WHISTELBLOWER
FROM GIVING A DEPOSITION IN 9/11 SUIT |
| FBI
whistleblower and former translator Sibel Edmonds, who has appeared
on 60 MINUTES and recently been interviewed in many of the largest
newspapers in the world has something to say. We know already
that Senator Charles Grassley has found her credible and that
she has charged the government with lying for stating that it
had no knowledge of the possibility that Al Qaeda might use
hijacked airliners as weapons against buildings. |

| This
Made Ashcroft Gag |
| Details
of a Florida drug case may well shed light on the claims of
an FBI translator who says the agency covered up evidence warning
of the 9-11 attack. |

Whistle-Blowers Go Unheard |
| They
are also eager to find out more about the unconfirmed story
of a second FBI linguist, Behrooz Sarshar, who claims he translated
for an FBI informant with information on a supposed Al Qaeda
plot to attack the U.S. with planes back in April 2001. "Some
of the group have also met with Sarshar," said van Auken.
"His claims seem to back up what Edmonds is saying." |

who translated lead on al-Qaida plot confirms meeting with 3

| Sources
familiar with the briefing say the FBI informant told two FBI
agents from the Washington field office in April 2001 that his
sources in Afghanistan had heard of an al-Qaida plot to attack
America in a suicide mission involving planes. Sarshar, fluent
in Farsi, acted as an interpreter at the meeting, held at a
Washington-area residence. |

| Agent
Warned |
| Two
months before the suicide hijackings, an FBI agent in Arizona
alerted Washington headquarters that several Middle Easterners
were training at a U.S. aviation school and recommended contacting
other schools nationwide where Arabs might be studying, law
enforcement officials said. |
| |
| Congressman:
FBI Ignored Repeated Warnings |
| The
FBI ignored several specific and sometimes frantic warnings
of a Minnesota flight instructor who told the bureau that an
Arab man could be planning to use a 747 jumbo jet as a flying
"bomb." |
| |
| Congress
Mulls the 9-11 Phoenix Memo |
| On
July 10, 2001, an FBI agent in Phoenix sent a memorandum to
FBI headquarters in New York listing evidence that Osama bin
Laden was helping his operatives in the U.S. attend flight training
schools. That memo, now known as the "Phoenix Memo"
was ignored. |

| |
| The
strange case of Zacarias Moussaoui |
| The
case of Zacarias Moussaoui raises many questions about the conduct
of the FBI and other US intelligence agencies in the period
leading up the September 11. It is the clearest example of the
almost inexplicable refusal on the part of these agencies to
take any action that could have prevented the bloodiest terrorist
attack in American history. |
