AL QAEDA IS A CIA ASSET - THE CASE FILES BUILD

Hi Doug and thread,

I'm wondering if anyone has been discussing this inflammatory accusation:

"15 of the 19 people who allegedly flew airplanes into buildings in the United States got their visas from the same CIA consulate in Jeddah."

Overruling the State Department. Curious, yes?

Here's the above quote in the text:

"Another questioner is Dr. Steve Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, who said most of the 9/11 terrorists had serious visa violations. He noted that terror ringleader Mohamad Atta got a temporary visa to live in the US although he was unemployed, unmarried, and lived outside his home country. "You don't issue temporary visas to people like that," Camarota exclaimed.

When J. Michael Springmann was chief of the visa section at the US Embassy in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, he said, in hundreds of cases he would reject visa applications for suspect people whose credentials didn't check out --only to have the CIA officer overrule him and order visas issued. When he protested this to the State Department, Office of Diplomatic Security, the FBI, the Justice Department and congressional committees, he said, "I was told to 'shut up.'" Springmann noted that "15 of the 19 people who allegedly flew airplanes into buildings in the United States got their visas from the same CIA consulate in Jeddah."

None of these questions were found worthy of coverage in the nation's mainstream press. "

Happy Independence Day, enjoy it while it lasts.

Salaams, Ray
