Wilful Ignorance?

Interesting story here about a dissident Taliban politician who apparently, hearing about the imminent September 11th attacks, conveyed a warning to the US consul general in Pakistan. Apparently, he was disregarded because of “warning fatigue”. I hope that’s all it was, but the more I hear about the shadowy machinations and secret manoeuvring last summer, the more I have my doubts. I don’t think it’s as completely paranoiac as this guy, but some people knew then and know now a lot more of what actually went down: who the key hijackers really were instead of their stolen identities, what international intel agencies lent a hand, who actually masterminded it instead of Al Qaida, how the bombs and weapons were really smuggled onto the planes. And so on. One year on and it seems the truth is largely still out there.

Meanwhile, some people have been analyzing the money trail of the September 11th hijackers very closely, and it seems the trail leads to some current US “allies”.
