American Professor: Bin Laden NOT Responsible for 9/11
American Professor: Bin Laden NOT Responsible for 9/11
Dr. Natana DeLong-Bas was interviewed by Al-Sharq Al-Awsat in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where she said that the western media has given Osama bin Laden more status than he deserves. She added: "I do not find any evidence that makes me agree that Osama bin Laden was behind the attack on the twin trade towers. All we have heard from him was simply a praise and commendation of those who had carried out the operation."
She said she was visiting Saudi Arabia for the second time, this time with her husband and two sons so that they will discover for themselves that not everything said about Saudi Arabia in the U.S. is accurate.

Speaking of Bin Laden
Ever notice how BUCHCO has'nt presued finding ,and bringing him in.Hell they don't even talk about him anymore.
The Hussein hanging
is the ol' bait-and-switch. Orchestrate a false flag terror attack against yourself, pretend to pursue the culprit, then capture and kill some stooge dictator you've been supporting for two decades.
And the media play along saying, "You see, the war was worth it."
Um, what?
And a year from now no one will remember which side was which.
They even...
Let him escape from Tora Bora into Pakistan. The alleged perpetrator of the 9/11 attacks. What about people like Mounir al-Motassadeq, someone that got a lesser sentence because the "US Justice Department had refused to co-operate fully with the German court."
I mean, doesn't it make sense that if you follow the official line, you would want the alleged perpetrator, and others allegedly responsible, to be held accountable for the worst attack on American soil?
Nah, that's crazy talk... one of the many things that "does not compute."
