Re: I don't think that other trip of Atta's will be investigated any time soon.
Yeah... and that's what really pisses me off. Since it means that US intelligence is crawling with Judeofascist moles... Just like that INS botch of mailing Atta & Co's student-visas to the flying school --six months after 911!! Make no mistake: it's a personal affront against the Bush administration and, somehow, a veiled signal to tell the Bushies, "hey folks, we're on the inside... don't push us around or else..."
As for your theory about 911 being a botched US cointelpro sting, well, I've read the relevant snippets in Bamford's Body of Secrets, that is, pages 80-85 in Chap. "Fists" about that guy Lemnitzer... Again, it reinforces what I've been saying all along: the geopolitical landscape of the 1960s was totally different from today's. Gen. Lemnitzer's wild schemes about terrorist setups (bombings, hijackings, etc) were devised in retaliation to a MAJOR threat by the Soviet Union --the deployment of NUCLEAR ballistic missiles all over Cuba!! Did the US face a similar threat on September 10th, 2001? Was Al-Qaeda or Afghanistan or any other Muslim outfit posing a massive threat to the US on the eve of 911?? NO. However, the Taleban were threatening RUSSIA's sphere of influence in Central Asia and the PLO posed a serious challenge to Sharon and the Likud, that is, the setting-up of a Palestinian state...
Hence my theory about 911: a cointelpro mess, no doubt --but a RUSSIAN/ISRAELI/FRENCH one.
