Yeah, the FBI stand down is actually one of the smokier smoking guns surrounding 9/11. There's never been much detail on just how bad it was, although what's in the public domain is bad enough, but the Moussaoui hearings are bringing a little more of it to light. What it basically amounts to is a whole lot of effort went into establishing the existence and identities of persons intended to be blamed for the attacks, but it wasn't possible to establish those identities as being terrorists without a stand down policy in effect. They had to be conspicuous so everyone would know who to blame, but they couldn't be that conspicuous without getting caught unless they had a whole lot of help. According to Moussaoui, he didn't know anything about 9/11, but thought he was training for an attack on the White House at a later date. That actually almost fits if one were to assume there was a grain of truth in the government claim that he was the 20th hijacker and that flight 93, with 4 instead of 5 hijackers on board, was heading for the White House. Of course no one has ever explained the logic of why terrorists would hit the White House with the President AWOL at an elementary school, or target a vacated wing of the Pentagon. The ultimate plum would be the Capitol Building with Congress in session. If Moussaoui is representative of the other 19 hijackers, all of them knew they were training for a suicide mission, and none of them knew anything about 9/11. That way they couldn't spill the beans if detained by over zealous FBI agents who were not going along with the official program. It's also interesting to note that several years ago Moussaoui's attorneys wanted to question persons supposedly being held in Cuba, who according to Moussaoui could have alibied him of any connection to 9/11. Isn't it interesting how gung ho Bush is to execute Moussaoui, but how equally unwilling he is to bring to justice those Moussaoui claims were in on the plot and from whom Moussaoui was taking direction? For that matter, wouldn't Moussaoui be the ideal candidate to turn state's witness against such persons in exchange for a reduced sentence?
