Papaya; There is no doubt The Bush Family was into cloak and dagger
operations for many years , otherwise G.W sr would have never
been made director of the CIA.
In that world may strange things can happen.

If you saw "Shendlers List" you saw that Jews gave
him a lot of Money , well he was a registered Nazi.
------------------
Keep in mind you can't always judge a person by
the party they belong to, there were some Nazi's
that did not like Hitler, and a few even tried to
assassinate him.
------------------
Then we have the old paradox of
"The Enemy of my Enemy is my friend"
I thought very one already knew we supplied
The Afghans including Bin Laden with assistance
when they were fighting the Russians.
------------------
That was all part of the cold war, and a lot of
this is the spill over. As nasty as it was and still
is; it more than likely kept the two super powers
from ending the world at least up to now.
----------------------
When the CIA befriended the Afghan fighters and other Muslims recruited
around the world and gave them enough help to defeat the Soviets,
They likely knew at the time those like Bin Laden would
exploit both ends , but that was then and Big the problem
was the Soviets so the old "I'll deal with the fall out
after this is over, "If we live that long "
---------------------
There is no easy answer to many unanswered questions,
Cloak and Dagger is a messy thing
but like Kennedy looking at the Berlin Wall
after the Air Lift, said "well the wall is better than
a nuclear war "
Any way I thought most people knew we helped
Bin Laden , just like we helped the Sovets
in the fight against Hitler all along knowing
Stalin was going to be a problem as soon as
it was over..
