Temat: 9/11 had enough yet?

Rafal Wolk:
Dear Rafal. thank you for submitting these questions and I am willing to answer to some of them due to the best of my abilities.
Thank you as well for your memoir story of that day which is claryfying some things for people - like CIA secrecy hush up accusations and so on.
Agnieszka Piasecka:
Here are some questions which I guess would qualify as "sick" in your book:
1. How is it that people who are on the FBI terrorist watch list, get through on a plane and get off at JFK and nothing? If you ever go to JFK... you'll understand.
Now or before 9/11?
Before, but why should this matter? Did everyone forget about the 93 bombing?

Before 9/11 plenty of people on the FBI list got into USA by variety of ways - either through Mexico or Canada.
Yet these guys arrived at NYC, at the JFK airport where even I was treated like a terrorist! This is the airport that strip searched my mom for fucks sake! BEFORE 9/11!
And later on everything was easy. Including buying variety of tickets for non - existing or casual names from the phonebook
It's not as easy as you may think. I've traveled quite a bit in the states, and it's really not that easy. You are still checked before boarding the plane.
or getting with the plastic guns non detectable by any equipment of that time.
Remember that you have plenty of security agencies but they used to challenge one another with the White House influences instead of cooperating.
You really shouldn't believe this line. This is something that was sold to the public. Imagine a country like the US where ATF, Immigration, CIA, FBI and NSA are not working together... I call bull shit.
Another thing is the automacy of daily work of the security officers at any airport.
Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam was not permitted to board a plane... but they allowed KNOWN and LISTED terrorists to not only board a plane but also enter the country???
2. Why is it that someone can go into a pilot school and ask to only learn how to take off and fly... but not land the damned thing... and not raise any red flags?
Who told you they did not learn that?
That was the story on EVERY US news channel. Hijackers attended flight schools and requested to learn how to steer and take off, but not land...
Besides in USA everything is possible for sufficient money and
you shall find people who don't ask questions.
This is where you are wrong again. In the US it's much, MUCH harder to find people who are business owners to bend rules. Do you think a school owner would risk his license and his livelihood for couple of bucks? Seriously? The image of the "whatever" type of American is nothing more than made for TV idea. Americans are VERY law abiding citizens and something like that would and should have been reported.
Maybe people or person who trained them now claims that they only learnt to take off and fly bur eventually he did not report that to anyone, did he?
Supposedly it was reported... but who really knows? This is yet another thing that we may never find out anything about.
3. How come while the entire US airspace was declared a no-fly zone... airplanes took off and brought some Saudi nationals back home?
because they were Bin Ladin family.
That's even more of a reason to keep them IN don't you think?
And because not only the Bushes but plenty of USA corporations had been doing and still do business with them.
What do you think is more important? Personal business or the safety and security of people whom you are in charge of protecting?
Raged crowd would easily confuse those Bin Ladins with Osama.
There were no enraged crowds, American people are not some savages ready to kill anything with a burka or a turban. If that was the case, half of Queens would've been torched and most small business' in Manhattan.
4. How can Condalisa Rice with a Phd in political science, sit there and with a straight face say to the American people - "who could have predicted that airplanes could be used as missiles?"
True, silly. She didn't read enough political fiction books.
Having a Phd in Political Science in tells that she'd had to be a history buff. I've got just one word for you - Kamikaze. Even if you don't study world history and only focus on the US history, you still should at least know about Pearl Harbor.
She doesn't spent enough time at the balcony sitting and thinking...what if I were a terrorist...
That was her job, she was the "National Security Expert" she was the "Secretary of State". I'm sorry but nobody can sell me a story like that. There is just no way! Plus... there was the infamous memo written by an FBI agent and sent to Condie which read - "Laden determined to strike in the US".
Copies of this memo went to Condoleeza Rice, Andrew Card, Dick Cheney, George Tenet, Porter Goss, Nancy Pelosi, Bob Graham.
Then you had Richard Clarke!
"Something spectacular is going to happen." July 5th, 2001 Richard Clarke in a White House meeting.
When the chief counter-terrorism adviser on the U.S. National Security Council tells you something like that... well, maybe you should do something about it. Richard Clarke was the ONLY member of Bush's gov't to actually take blame and apologize to the American people. I highly recommend reading some of his books written AFTER he quit the job.
