Strange. I read Soufan's book too but did not get the "massive criminal conspiracy" thingy from it. And no, it is not "now clear that the 9/11 Commission report tried to cover up the crimes". You have to smoke a whole lot of pot to come up with that stretch.

On September 12, 2001, the CIA Yemen Station gave Soufan a envelope containing the three photos of Khalid al-Mihdhar taken at Kuala Lumpur and the photo of Walid Bin Attash taken at Kuala Lumpur along with a report describing this meeting as a high level al Qaeda planning meeting to plan future attacks on the US or US interests. These photos proved to Soufan that the CIA had information that had connected both Mihdhar and Hazmi to the planning of the Cole bombing, and yet had never given this information to him or to any member of his FBI Cole bombing investigation team.

Soufan knew that he had made three official FBI requests to the CIA for exactly this information, and was told that the CIA did not have this information or they simply did not reply to his requests.

After the fact it is clear that information was known by the CIA Yemen Station, the CIA Pakistan Station and the CIA bin Laden unit and by almost all of the high level managers at the CIA.

This is the "massive criminal conspiracy" thingy.

Almost 3000 people were murdered by the al Qaeda terrorists because of this massive deception and criminal behavior at the CIA.

The 9/11 Commission had all of the information I have posted on this forum, yet they came to the conclusion that the big issue was failure of imagination.

Now let’s see! The CIA and FBI HQ know that a huge al Qaeda terrorist attack is just about to take place inside of the US, know that Mihdhar and Hazmi are inside of the US in order to take part in this attack and then shut down the criminal investigations of all al Qaeda terrorists or suspected al Qaeda terrorists found to be inside if the US, using actions that were clearly criminal.

Yet the 9/11 Commission says this was just a simple failure of imagination.

And your comment is that the 9/11 Commission did not cover this up.

YAH RIGHT!

Please note what you just said.

By virtue of what you just said. No, they addressed it. No cover up. You just disagree with their evaluation of the evidence. So find a good DA and see if you can get a grand jury bill. Until then, no "criminal conspiracy" and definitely no "cover up".

Maybe the 911 Commission should have just said the tooth fairy made them do it, shut down these investigatiuons, and allowed the attacks on 9/11 to take place. That would also have addressed the question, why were the attacks on 9/11 allowed to take place. That would have been no cover up either, I would assume, in your view.

HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, ARE YOU FOR REAL?

You really need to market whatever it is you have been smoking. You could make some serious cash.

YAH RIGHT!
So your evidence of a "cover up" is the 9/11 Commission directly addressing the intelligence community's failure to connect the dots?

It's funny when truthers can't even get the most basic facts straight, like who the US President was in September 2000. But I suppose that's why they're truthers in the first place, definitely not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
More like the knives that have had their blades totally wrecked by a grinder on late nite tv to get you to buy a special sharpener.
