Our Friends in the "WAR ON TERRAH" don't seem to be too friendly after all. Take our good buddies in Pakistan. Last week a story came over the wire surprisingly enough not picked up by any main stream media news sources documenting the fact that lobbyists for Pakistan threw their collective energy into influencing the 9/11 commission. What were these lobbyists so deperately trying to influence? Well one hint would be surpressing the fact that the head of the Pakistani intelligence agency(ISI), Mahmud Ahmed ,approved a $100,000 wire transfer to Mohamed Atta. Or how about this same gentleman, Mr. Ahmed , was meeting with future congressional investigators, Bob Graham and Porter Goss (now head of the CIA) on Sept. 10th at the Capitol no less. Pakistan is recieving alot of money from the US for the war, kinda makes you wonder what the hell that money is being used for.
Well how about that upstanding country Qatar? Not yet Democratized, still being run by a King (How about that spreading of democracy Mr Bush?) but hey they are the headquarters for the US Military to do press conferences and that has to count for something does'nt it? Well anyway one Al-Qaeda member escaped from their prison a few months ago but geez those crafty terrorists are hard to detain, it was an honest mistake was'nt it Qatar? Unfortunately not. In 1997 Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (Ramzi Yousef's Uncle ),the apparent mastermind of Sept. 11th, happened to be hanging out in Qatar, the FBI found out and went to get him. Certain officials in the Qatari government helped him to escape to the Czech Republic and you know the rest(Sept 11th). In light of the fact our government was willing to let Dubai be in charge of securing our ports(guilty of harboring terrorists) my question is, exactly how worried is the Bush Admin. about the so called terrorist threat?
