That's the official party line anyway. Not that they have much credibility anymore. Someone, somewhere obviously made money off the tradgedy. How hard would it be to buy calls on airlines from a foreign account opened under an assumed name? That would be an easy ploy to pull off.

I thought this statement was interesting also: <<<Cogswell said he believes all have been concluded with no evidence that allies of Osama bin Laden were involved.>>> A wonderfully twisty statement considering there is no evidence of any kind that Osama bin Laden was involved either. On the bright side, the investigation only took a little over two years. Not bad for an outfit that had the information in the first week after the attacks. I imagine it takes a bit of time to arrange the appropriate compensation for dropping investigations without disclosing any names. Don't funds that handle other people's money have to file 13F forms disclosing their positions?

Hi Glenn, Thanks for the article. A search at Google News just now shows that the Sun Times has an exclusive on this story. The rest of the media seems to just not care. I guess Hurricane Isabel is a better story. <g> The article may explicitly state that those who profitted by the puts weren't Bin Laden associates. But it was silent as to any conclusion that members of the intel community could have been trying to profit from purloined information about the hijacking plan. And the article curiously fails to address the peculiarity pointed out in late 2001 that certain winning positions in the puts were never claimed by those who had placed their bets on the days prior to 9/11. ********* FWIW, a search for "Cogswell FBI" only turned up two articles, the one you posted, and another about the odd FBI hiring of an informant against Steven Hatfill, the 'person of interest' in the anthrax case. washingtonpost.com It appears that Mr. Cogswell's job is protect the American public from information. <g> Curiouser and curiouser...
