I never said bureaucratic FUBAR couldn't be criminal. I was questioning the motives behind it. That's the conspiracy we're talking about. I think a lot of people should have been put in prison. It was ridiculous what went on. BUT THE MOTIVE WAS NOT TO ALLOW AQ TO KILL 3000. They had no clue. You connected those dots. It's a shame they didn't. Your hindsight is perfect but your interpretation of it sucks.
Let me repeat:
Tom Wilshire was denied permission twice in July 2001, on July 13, 2001, and on July 23, 2001, by his CIA managers Blee, Black and Tenet, from giving the CIA information obtained from the surveillance of the Kuala Lumpur meeting, to the FBI Cole bombing investigators, information that bin Attash had been at the Kuala Lumpur meeting with Mihdhar and Hazmi and Attash, mastermind of the USS Cole bombing, actually planning the Cole bombing, even though Wilshire worked at the FBI HQ as a high level FBI manager in charge of all FBI investigations of al Qaeda terrorists in the world.
The is after Blee, Black and Tenet have already gone to the White House on July 10, 2001, to a meeting deliberately kept secret by the 9/11 Commission, to tell Rice, Clarke, and Hadley that a massive al Qaeda attack was about to take place, likely to the US, that would cause mass US casualties.
The CIA and FBI HQ knew about this huge al Qaeda attack. The CIA knew it had refused permission to allow Wilshire to give this information to the FBI criminal investigators on the Cole bombing, and even knew that this would prevent these investigators, and FBI Agent Steve Bongardt from starting a any investigation for Mihdhar and Hazmi, two al Qaeda terrorists that the CIA and FBI HQ knew will take part in this al Qaeda attack. They knew that this was the very evidence that Bongardt would need in order to be able to start any criminal investigation of these two al Qaeda terrorists. Without some evidence of a substantial Federal crime, Bongardt could not start any criminal investigation for these two. When the information was given to the FBI HQ, Corsi and Wilshire, and the CIA, Blee, Black, and Tenet, on August 22, 2001 that both Mihdhar and Hazmi are inside of the US in order to take part in this attack, these high level managers at both agencies knew these terrorists were inside of the US in order to take part in a huge al Qaeda terrorists attack. Yet Corsi and Middleton, who were supervised by Wilshire, shut down Bongardt’s criminal investigation of Mihdhar and Hazmi.
The CIA and FBI HQ may not have known that 3000 people would be killed in this attack, or even the exact details of this attack, but they did know the names of at least two of the al Qaeda terrorists who be involved, information that could have been used by Bongardt and his team to not only link directly to many of the other al Qaeda terrorist involved in this attack but to prevent these attacks.
