<<<BTW have you seen any hard evidence that Osama bin Laden masterminded 911?>>> The 850 page Congressional report contained one paragraph on the subject. Supposedly someone connected to bin Laden was present in a building at the same time as some of the alleged hijackers. Photos were taken. Initial identification of this person turned out to be mistaken. For some reason, after it was determined the alleged Osama connection was misidentified, more photos were produced which did identify the person first claimed to be in the photos. Of course there's always the Osama "confession" tape that was "discovered" in Afghanistan. Calling it a fake would be kind. The media ran the tape, complete with CIA translations, without ever questioning the obvious forgery. cyberspaceorbit.com welfarestate.com To my knowledge, that's the entire case against OBL. It might also be worth mentioning that it was widely reported, on several occasions, that various tapes alleged to have been made by bin Laden were classified and never released. The excuse was they could have contained hidden messages intended to trigger terrorist attacks. A reasonable person might wonder why an obvious fake, incriminating bin Laden, was certified as authentic, while other tapes were withheld in the interest of "national security". If any of the other tapes were authentic bin Laden, a person might wonder what he had to say on the topic of 9/11 and why the information was never disclosed. To my knowledge, that's the entire case against OBL. Also keep in mind the identity of the hijackers is still in question after over 2 years. If you don't know who they were, it's pretty hard to say who they worked for.
