History Commons Project, Update for July and August

9/11 Project

The 9/11 Timeline has been growing by leaps and bounds. The number of entries posted per day has nearly doubled, and its contributors have been digging into several new areas of research. There are too many new entries to mention specifically, but some of the new categories include the following:

Al-Kifah/MAK – This category focuses mostly on the Al-Kifah Refugee Center and consists of some very astonishing material. This charity front was al-Qaeda’s operational headquarters in the US in the late 1980s and early 1990s, yet at the same time it was closely tied to CIA efforts to win the wars in Afghanistan and Bosnia. These new entries raise disturbing questions about CIA collaboration with al-Qaeda.

Al-Qaeda in Balkans – This is not a new category per se, but it has been heavily updated, doubling in length. There is a little known scandal having to do with the Bosnia war in the early 1990s. In order to evade a UN arms embargo on Bosnia, the US turned a blind eye to an illegal weapons pipeline and may well have actually been involved with it. This pipeline involved al-Qaeda related charity fronts such as the Third World Relief Agency (TWRA), once again raising disturbing questions about collaboration with al-Qaeda. The project’s current contributors hope to add substantially more material to this category in the near future.

CIA Hiding Alhazmi & Almihdhar – As time goes on, it is becoming increasingly clear that the CIA knew the 9/11 hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi had visas to the US, but purposely withheld this information from the FBI. Contributor KJF has added so many instances of this that we’ve created a new category for it.

Londonistan – UK Counterterrorism – We are just beginning to explore this topic but hope to have much more on it in the future. Britain has allowed so many radical militants to live openly in London that it is sometimes nicknamed Londonistan.
BIF – This new category focuses on the Benevolence International Foundation charity front. What’s interesting about this charity is that it was closely tied to al-Qaeda, raised millions, and was based inside the US. Members of the 9/11 project are exploring why this charity was not shut down before 9/11.

US Government and 9/11 Criticism – This new category compiles most of the entries relating to what some call 9/11 “conspiracy theories.”

Alleged Al-Qaeda Linked Attacks – The “War on Terrorism” section now includes a list of all the major alleged al-Qaeda linked attacks.

Terror Alerts – There have been many false alarms and overhyped alerts since 9/11. Mike, one of the History Commons’ newest contributors, is in the process of listing them in this new category.

Bush’s Aug. 6, 2001 PDB – Everything you want to know about President Bush’s infamous briefing entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Attack in US” can be found here.

Bayoumi and Basan Saudi Connection – No new material here, but for your convenience, this new category brings together all the entries relating to Omar al-Bayoumi and Osama Basnan, associates of 9/11 hijackers Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi.
In addition to all these new categories, many other new entries have been added elsewhere. In particularly, contributor Matt continues to stay on top of Day of 9/11 events and has brought to light dozens of little known incidents from that day.

Join the effort

The History Commons project is an intelligence tool for civil society, allowing people at the grassroots-level to monitor and investigate the activities of governments and corporations. The History Commons project has the potential to become civil society’s most important tool in keeping government officials and corporations in check. But we can’t do this without your involvement and support.

Best,
The Cooperative Research team.

[From Google Reader] My rebuttal to the SSCI review

Posted by bg on January 16, 2007

Last Tuesday, I posted a rebuttal to the SSCI review of Able Danger which I obtained from sources in the House of Representatives. Apparently, someone is still reading Able Danger Blog because two days later the full SSCI report showed up at FAS.org: The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded its review of the ABLE DANGER program with a letter report (pdf) finding that, contrary to claims advanced by former Rep. Curt Weldon and others, the program “never produced a chart with Mohammed Atta’s photograph or name prior to the 9/11 attacks.” Well, here is my take on the SSCI “review” of Able Danger. To start with they admit on page two they had already concluded the Able Danger story was dubious before they even talked to all of the witnesses: In September 2005, Committee staff advised Commi…

[From Google Reader] Rebuttal to DODIG and SSCI reports on Able Danger

Posted by bg on January 9, 2007

Just received the following from sources in the House in response to the SSCI “investigation” of Able Danger. Click here for a fifteen page rebuttal of the DODIG report, on which SSCI relied. Here is their introduction: We always suspected, and received many indications, that the SSCI “investigation” of ABLE DANGER was pursued lethargically and with great reluctance. SSCI deliberately avoided witnesses who could corroborate the claims of the ABLE DANGER team. SSCI refused to exercise its subpoena powers against targets we recommended that could have cracked the case. Many in the public and among the press fail to understand that SSCI, like the DOD IG, is an oversight institution in name only. The truth is that the relationship between SSCI and the intelligence agencies they oversee, and…

Able Danger whitewash attempt

Posted by bg on October 23, 2006

Cryptome has the Department of Defense whitewash report on Able Danger. The quick summary: “The investigation addressed nine specific allegations raised in the media and by various Members of Congress. We did not substantiate those allegations. The evidence did not support assertions that Able Danger identified the September 11, 2001, terrorists nearly a year before the attack, that Able Danger team members were prohibited from sharing information with law enforcement authorities, or that DoD officials reprised against LTC Shaffer for his disclosures regarding Able Danger.” So it’s all good. The big problem they had was that a number of separate, independent witnesses all confirmed that Mohammed Atta was on one of their big charts, in a prominent enough position to be remembered years later by all. The whitewash …
