The 9/11 $20 Message


September 11, 2001 will be a day that will live forever in infamy. Already, the hindsight machine is turning. How much did the FBI really know about the terrorist plot to crash planes into the World Trade Center? What should they have done about it? Interestingly, I was recently told of a "subliminal message" that perhaps could have hinted at the disaster that was to come. When the twenty dollar bill was redesigned in 1996 (the new bills were issued in 1998), apparently someone had a premonition of what was to come almost exactly a year later. I am not sure exactly what form of "visual embed" this would be, but folded a certain way, the new $20 bill shows images that bear a striking resemblance to the familiar images of the burning Pentagon and the WTC buildings on 9/11. What do you think?

The Informant Who Lived With the Hijackers


NEWSWEEK has learned that one of the bureau’s informants had a close relationship with two of the hijackers. The landlord regularly prayed with them and even helped one open a bank account. He was also, sources tell NEWSWEEK, a “tested” undercover “asset” who had been working closely with the FBI office in San Diego on terrorism cases related to Hamas. A senior law-enforcement official told NEWSWEEK the informant never provided the bureau with the names of his two houseguests from Saudi Arabia. Nor does the FBI have any reason to believe the informant was concealing their identities. (He could not be reached for comment.) But the FBI concedes that a San Diego case agent appears to have been at least aware that Saudi visitors were renting rooms in the informant’s house.

Amerikaner möchten Internet als Infoquelle für Terroristen austrocknen


Knapp 70 Prozent der Amerikaner finden, ihre Regierung solle alles unternehmen, damit Terroristen im Internet keine für sie relevanten Informationen finden: Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine Studie des Pew Internet & American Life Project, für die 2500 US-Bürger befragt wurden. Gleichzeitig ist aber die Mehrheit der Interviewten keineswegs davon überzeugt, dass das Zurückhalten von Online-Informationen überhaupt einen nennenswerten Beitrag zur Terrorbekämpfung darstellen würde.

The Taliban minister, the US envoy and the warning of September 11 that was ignored


Weeks before the terrorist attacks on 11 September, the United States and the United Nations ignored warnings from a secret Taliban emissary that Osama bin Laden was planning a huge attack on American soil. The warnings were delivered by an aide of Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil, the Taliban Foreign Minister at the time, who was known to be deeply unhappy with the foreign militants in Afghanistan, including Arabs.
