Fitzie is trying to punish and suppress a journalist critical of the official 9-11 Report mythology, Peter Lance. Fitzgerald also wants to take down Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. His US Prosecutor office is being used to protect the Loyal Bushies who allowed the 9-11 attacks to happen. Did I say allow? Instead I will say they criminally conspired to murder 3000 people. And I will say that Fitzgerald is conspiring in a Cover Up to conceal these crimes. That is far stronger than what Lance claims.
Peter Lance speaks for himself in a 30 minute Youtube, and a FORA TV interview and a lengthy C-Span book review.
Fitzgerald is a hero to many people for the successful US vs. Scooter Libby battle. Of course, the victory in Court looked good at the time, even as Scooter escaped any punishment for his crimes. But more important, the source of the Niger Forgeries remained secret. Libby "outed" Plame because Joe Wilson showed the Niger Forgeries were forgeries. These phony documents were created to provide justification for the Irak war.
The cast of characters involved in Niger-gate is like old home week in the government scandal sweepstakes. Aside from Ledeen, whose storied (or is that checkered?) history is well-known, we have Clarridge, first head of the Counterterrorism Center set up by Bill Casey under Reagan, who deserves a column all by himself. His close relationship with Ledeen dates from his time as chief of station in Rome in the late 1970s. Clarridge was indicted for lying to prosecutors during the Iran-Contra imbroglio, but given a presidential pardon.."
The anti-hero of Peter Lance’s narrative "Triple Cross" and his previous books, is the "Egyptian Captain", Ali Abdul Mohamad (AAM). Where is this egyptian military officer, who pleaded guilty to the African embassy bombings which killed hundreds and wounded thousands. Fitzie let him cop a plea. Ali Mohamad might be in prison. Or he might be in a Silicon Valley Condo with his wife, a former TWA Stewardess. Or he might still be assisting Usama Bin Laden by running Al Qaeda as he did in the 1990′s. Only Fitzie knows.
An officer, in the Egyptian Army, AAM enlisted in the US Army in the 1980′s and became an Army Sergeant, possibly in "covert ops" with Green Beret units. AAM was allowed (or assigned) to travel to Afghanistan to fight "Charlie Wilson’s War".
"Afghanistan’s Taliban was largely the creation of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and a hard-drinking, party-loving Texas congressman who helped funnel billions of dollars in arms to "freedom fighters" like Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Mohammed Omar."
AAM was certainly one of the Al CIAda’s, working for both CIA and FBI and Military and who knows what else. But AAM was also allowed to work for Bin Laden’s organization, supplying military training, advice, classified documents and perhaps weapons. He apparently was helping with the first World Trade Center Bombing in 1993. Was AAM a double agent or triple agent or did he himself even know. Patrick Fitzgerald is keeping everything super top secret classified, as usual. That is an easy way to win a lawsuit.
When he was a New York prosecutor in 1993, Fitzgerald had prior knowledge of the first World Trade Center Bombing. Fitzgerald may have helped allow that terrorist act to occur. The United States Government certainly did have advance knowledge and did let that bombing occur. This contradicts the government story that the first WTC bombing was solved by identifying a parts number from a rental truck. So Fitzie and the US Prosecutors were guilty of gross negligence in allowing a bombing to happen. Then they lied about it. As early as July, 1989, the future WTC bombers were under FBI surveillance.
Another former Egyptian military officer, Emad Salem was an FBI informer. Salem had infiltrated the "Blind Sheik’s" group and had become part of WTC bombing plot. The FBI was informed by Salem and Salem wanted to use a fake bomb. The FBI decided to continue the plot with a real bomb, and without Salem.
Mr. Salem recorded the conversations with Government agents on his own, without the knowledge or consent of his contacts in the F.B.I., apparently to use as an insurance policy to hold the Government to its promises of money and protection.Some of the most striking passages in the transcripts show Mr. Salem agonizing over what he suggests was the failure of the F.B.I., despite his information, to halt the Feb. 26 bombing of the trade center, in which six people were killed. Although Mr. Salem is not a witness in that case, he was working with the Government at that time."They told me that ‘we want to set this,’ " Mr. Salem said, referring to the bomb in a conversation on April 1 with John Anticev, one of the F.B.I. agents he reported to, and sometimes complained to others about. " ‘What’s the right place to put this?’ "
Lance makes other charges against Fitzgerald. The official 9-11 Report says the 1993 WTC bombing was not part of Al Qaeda. This seems to be false. Many of the same people were in both plots, especially Bin Laden and AAM. As early as 1995, the plans for another WTC attack were being made by Bin Laden and AAM. Al Qaeda also began to be planning airline hijackings about this time. Later, a number of Al Qaeda agents took flight training. All this was known to law enforcement. The official version of 9-11 attack was written by Fitzie colleague Dietrich Snell and is meant to protect the FBI and Justice Department. The 9-11 Report falsely repeats the "no actionable intelligence" myth. Lance calls Fitzgerald an expert on Bin Laden.
In 1994, Fitzgerald became the prosecutor in the case against Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and 11 others charged in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.[7] In 1996, Fitzgerald became the National Security Coordinator for the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. There, he served on a team of prosecutors investigating Osama bin Laden.[8] He also served as chief counsel in prosecutions related to the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
With respect to the national security failures including the 9-11 attacks, Counterterrorism official Richard Clarke apologized and said "Your government failed you." Patrick Fitzgerald also failed us, yet he has not apologized for his failures.
"Cover Up" and "Triple Cross" provide plenty of topics to disagree with. Lance does not necessarily believe 9-11 was an inside job. Or at least he believes it a one-third inside job. He thinks WTC Building 7 was "wired" and deliberately demolished. Lance claims AAM had the plans for 9-11 attack. Lance repeatedly says AAM "infiltrated" the US Government. But it is obvious AAM was recruited and was considered an important "asset".
The story gets more confused when the Mafia and Al Qaeda intersect. A mafia killer Greg Scarpa Sr. is recruited by the FBI. Scarpa’s corrupt FBI handler uses murder and manipulation to promote Scarpa to a leadership position in his crime family. This story sounds quite similar to the rise of Bin Laden or AAM in Al Qaeda’s leadership. By an amazing coincidence, Scarpa’s son was in a jail cell next to the WTC bombers and helped to send messages to Bin Laden. Really! Who does not use organized crime to deliver terrorist instructions?
I disagree with Lance’s interpretation of Al Qaeda because Al Qaeda is a joke, although a deadly joke. These thugs could possibly obtain nuclear weapons-if the neo-cons helped them to attack America again. But it is at most only several thousand psychopaths, losers and religious fundies. Their deadly successes were made possible only with the help of the Saudi and Pakistan and US secret services. The alleged Al Qaeda and Bin Laden tapes and videos are obvious neo-con forgeries. Even the "spooks" are publicly saying 9-11 Inside Job.
Perhaps Fitzgerald is not really trying to shred the Constitution while concealing the truth about the neo-con cabal behind 9-11 and the Oil Wars. Perhaps he wants "Triple Cross" to be popularized and the truth about 9-11 revealed. I doubt it. Oh Fitzie, please sue. This lawsuit would be a real neo-con circus. AAM could tell his story. Emad Salem could tell his. It could lead to reality teevee, "Help, I’m An Al Qaeda Double Agent! Get Me Out Of Here!"

Lance’s book was mentioned during the 911 Commission and it was highly recommended that it be read. His testimony was kept out of the official report, though; too many facts for the 911 boys I guess. He send many letters and e-mails to members of the Commission. They are available at Scribd. If the ever so long url doesn’t work, go there and type in 911 commission peter lance. Some are blurry, some are easy to read.

“Instead I will say they criminally conspired to murder 3000 people.” ; you’ll get more people to listen and take action if this beleif of yours is not emphasized at all.
Whether it be the Kennedy Assassinations or Lincoln’s or 9/11, the U.S. govenrment has an ongoing habit of not letting the populace understand all of the facts associated with tragedy, ESPECIALLY when it would reflect poorly on the competency or actions taken by those entrusted with the public faith. Just as an example,“The Bonus Army, a group of World War I veterans seeking expedited benefits, established a Hooverville in Anacostia in the District of Columbia in 1932, led by former Army sergeant Walter W. Waters and former brigadier general Smedley D. Butler. At its maximum there were 15,000 people living there.[4] The camp was demolished by units of the United States Army, commanded by General Douglas MacArthur and Major George S. Patton.[5]
And yet they are still honored.
The book has been in publication for more than a couple of years in hardback; there’s no obvious effort here to demand any pull back of those copies, or even seek compensation for damages which might have been caused by those copies.
Rather, this appears to be an effort to sue for content in a paperback version of the book. What’s different in the paperback?
And what might have come to light since the original hardback version was printed which may now reveal inaccuracies?
What if there is libelous, damaging information which hurts Patrick Fitzgerald as a lawyer and prosecutor? Does he not have a right to mitigate damages to himself, like all other citizens?
I don’t believe Fitzgerald is a frivolous or incautious person; he would not file a suit without what he perceived to be a solid case, and is certainly entitled to the same protections as any other citizen. I support the case going forward, even at the risk of paperbacks not being published, especially since the original hardbacks remain in the hands of the public.
Inaccuracies? About 9-11? How could that happen? Peter Lance can defend himself quite well. The abuse of NATIONAL SECURITY to conceal everything about 9-11 is a scandal in itself. Fitzgerald had ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE of the the first WTC bombing. He let the bombing plot proceed then he lied about it.
Obviously Fitzie is not like other citizens. Most people do not use a government position to cover up the crimes of neo-con warmongers. The nasty libel and defamation is so sooo….unfair. Yes Fitzie please sue Lance, sue a lot of reporters, sue them libs and sue the Jersey Girls, and then sue the bloggers.
When Fitzie does start his suing, he makes “9-11 Inside Job” a mainstream issue. I can hardly wait.
I just posted this. The most irrefutable proof ever – in documentary form – of the FACT that the Pentagon was hit by a missile fired from a plane painted to look like a commercial jetliner.
Thank goodness, there are all those security cameras around the Pentagon. Perhaps Rummy or Feith or Wolfowitz took some pictures also.
Umm…this is a really unpopular view I hold, and I will probably get shot at with a lot of missiles myself, but…it doesn’t matter. Whether or not 9/11 was an inside job, or even whether it happened at all or not just does not matter.
What matters is what we Americans did to ourselves as a result of the events of 9/11. We Americans allowed the Bushies to take away our freedoms and use a black sharpie on the Constitution. Bush said “shop”, so we shopped. And while we were at the mall, his black bag people looted us for everything we had.
Folks, I look at what little is coming out of Iran, and I’m ashamed of America. The Iranians are standing up, risking their own lives and personal freedom because their election was rigged. What did we do in 2000 and 2004? We whined, we bitched, and then went shopping. We let Dick, Rummy and Wolfie give away our Treasury to “defend” us, and now that the money pot is gone, we’re bitching and shopping with coupons.
Who ultimately is at fault for the post-9/11 world? Look in the mirror. But give up the “conspiracy” game, because every one of us was (and is) a player. Until we actually stand up for what other people are willing to die over, it just does not matter who done who or when.
