Until the White House comes clean on what it knew and when it knew it, the Sept. 11th coverup will only feed the conspiracy theorists, who suspect among other things that the CIA may have put up bin Laden, a former "asset", to mount the attack on the US as a pretext to run the Taliban out of Afghanistan, help open Central Asia to oil production and give the Agency a new lease on life after years of budget cuts. The White House needs to level with the American people. Congress must keep up its demands for an independent probe not only of the intelligence agencies' handling of the al Qaeda threat but also of the CIA's relationship with terrorist operatives such as bin Laden. Congress should examine how much the CIA has backslid from the reforms that were ordered after the Church Commission in the 1970s documented abuses. And Congress should finally take an honest look at the causes of the widespread antipathy of the Muslim world toward the USA that has given rise to al Qaeda and other terror movements. I realize that these are radical concepts for Lah-lah land and its fascist rulers - but Uncle Scam's old scams of sweeping scams under the carpet until they blow up - and then play dumb---just don't work anymore.
