That is not what I've heard on BBC,CNN, and there were many other top brass around. And Blair (yes, Tony!) said the same.

Now if you ears are as good as your eyes, the problem is elsewhere : how can Mr Thomas validate a system that will put the blame on the usual suspects ? It is going to become harder day after day, sir.

"The facts are clear and compelling," Robertson told reporters after a top U.S. counterterrorism official gave NATO's ruling council a classified briefing. "The information presented points conclusively to an al-Qaida role in the Sept. 11 attacks.
"We know that the individuals who carried out these attacks were part of the worldwide terrorist network of al-Qaida, headed by Osama bin Laden and his key lieutenants and protected by the Taliban" government in Afghanistan.

Report: U.S. Links Hijackers To Other Attacks

Some of the same terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 attack have been linked to the East Africa embassy bombings and the attack on the USS Cole.
Senior administration officials say this point was part of a presentation made Wednesday by a State Department counter-terrorism official to NATO allies in Belgium, The Associated Press reported.
A lengthy, detailed summary of the evidence was sent by confidential channels to U.S. allies Monday night.
A senior administration official says it provides a history of crimes believed to have been committed by bin Laden and his al-Qaida network.
The NATO allies had conditioned material support for the United States under the NATO charter on convincing information pointing to bin Laden as the perpetrator of the attacks.

Bin Laden 'told step-mother of 'big news' before attacks'
Osama bin Laden reportedly told his step-mother to expect "big news" two days before the terror attacks on the US.
NBC reports that he told her she would not hear for him "for a while" after September 11.
Sources say un-named foreign intelligence officers have given US authorities details of the phone call.
According to NBC, he told Al-Kalifa bin Laden: "In two days, you're going to hear big news and you're not going to hear from me for a while."
Al-Kalifa bin Laden reportedly checked into a hospital in Paris on September 12. The French magazine Le Point says she had a check-up at the American Hospital's cancer unit.
