Here is another... Khalid S. Mohammed had been linked to the failed plot to blow up US Airliners over the Pacific Ocean. The FBI and the CIA had begun a manhunt to find him. In 1995, the FBI and the CIA tracked Mohammed to Qatar. The FBI developed a plan to snatch him (with the US military) from his safe house in Qatar. The plan died in the administration – killed for fear of an anti-US backlash. (1) This forced the FBI to contact Qatar law enforcement authorities. The FBI already knew that Khalid S. Mohammed had sympathizers in Qatar Law enforcement. When the Qatar authorities went to arrest him, he was gone. (1) Should we not note the lessons from history? That the failure to act, for fear of reprisal from others is flawed reasoning? That the consequences of failure to act can be catastrophic? In this highly salient case, this failure to act resulted in the worst ever attack on American soil. For the demolibs reading this, Khalid S. Mohammed is the guy who did the detail planning of 9/11. Thanks Bill. 1. M. Isikoff, M. Hosenball - Hunting in the Barren Hills, Newsweek, March 17, 2003.
