Bin laden's supposed confession is based entirely upon a video tape released by the Pentagon. The tape is a fake, and the translation is fraudulent. First here is general evidence that such confession tapes released by those doing the accusing have no credibility. Video technology now makes it difficult to distinguish between a real video confession and a fake.

If the govt was genuinely surprised by the attacks, how it did they manage to name the  mastermind within a few hours? And yet, nearly 3 years later, no formal charges have been laid against the accused.

 

 

2. 7 In September 2001, when Bush was threatening an invasion of Afghanistan in retaliation for Sept 11, it slipped his mind to tell us that the invasion had already been planned before Sept 11.

the White House later changed its story, citing warnings of  'non-specific" threats as its explanation for why the invasion of Afghanistan had already been planned prior to Sept 11. We are expected to believe that it was so interested in Bin Laden that it had planned a pre-emptive war against him, but was somehow unaware of the specifics of the Sept 11 plot. Notwithstanding the difficulties with this story, it has some explaining to do in relation to

a) why the Clinton administration had already turned down an offer for the extradition of Bin laden in 1996 - after naming him as wanted for the 1993 WTC bombing. 

b) allegations that Bin Laden had met with the local CIA station chief in Dubai in July 2001 - after the US had already begun its planning for the war against him.

c) why key members of the Bush administration and their close associates maintained business relationships with the Bin Laden family. This leads us on to section 3.
