Re: Mahmoud al-Mabhouh Assassination

well they knew that he was a terrorist They were following the suspected terrorist A sharp dressed man let him on the plane with no passport They let him keep his Visa... what more do you want?

I mean they KNEW he was a terroist.. Not even a pat down? A secondary search?

If it looks like a duck, qucks like a duck, it is a fish you are saying?

Re: Mahmoud al-Mabhouh Assassination

[QUOTE=toasty;846767] Looks to me like the upshot of this is that we didn't consider him as serious a threat as he turned out to be, but that's totally different from what you're suggesting.[/QUOTE]

Didn't he have problems boarding the plane in the first place? According to them to lawyers in the airport he did. They seem to of missed that in the mainstream media.

Re: Mahmoud al-Mabhouh Assassination

Guy talks his way onto a plane vs. multiple intelligence agencies from different countries conspire to allow a known terrorist to board and attempt to destroy a plane bound for the US.

Uh, I'm going with option A. Less moving parts, less to go wrong. Remember, only one person has to slip through to do serious damage, as this guy almost did. If you're a terrorist, and your expectation is that you're going to die that day, getting turned away from your flight or capture probably isn't a significant impediment to just taking a flier and hoping you're able to convince someone to allow you aboard.

So I'm clear, and this is a serious question, are you saying that he didn't bring his passport, but nevertheless tried to board the plane using his real name, the one that was on all the watch lists? If that's the case, why bother to try to board without a passport at all? Just doesn't make any sense...

Re: Mahmoud al-Mabhouh Assassination

you can go with whatever option you want.. but doesn't make it the right option.

You seem to be in denial that he was a known terrorist and he was "let" on the plane - he didn't talk his way on, a sharp dressed man put him on. No searches no patdowns.

I'm confused -- was he allowed to board without a passport at the urging of a "sharp dressed man," or was he allowed to board by his own volition notwithstanding that he was on a watch list? The two seem inconsistent.

As an aside, after my post last night, I happened to watch a documentary on this where they did a walk-through of his day, and they were very explicit about him having a Nigerian passport. They were quite critical of the current monitoring system as to people who are not on the no-fly list, but who are instead on a lower-level list, in that by design, it doesn't give monitors the opportunity to assess whether that person is a serious threat until about 30 minutes after takeoff.

He didn't have a passport and he was put on the plane by a shard dressed man. Kurt Haskell and his wife are Michigan lawyers who witnessed it all. They were talking about how he was a refugee and didn't have a passport.

Re: Mahmoud al-Mabhouh Assassination

Well it's pretty simple isn't it Toasty? Let's go over the facts

The gov't allowed him on the plane and was actually put on by a sharp dressed man. The man with the bomb in his pants was a known terrorist because his father told the gov't that he was a potential terrorist After the incident thousands of body scanners (which Chertoff is a lobby for) are sold around the world for airports.

Sounds like shotgun capitalism to me. You create the demand through an incident and go benefit from it. My father taught me a long time ago that you only have to follow the money to find out who was behind it. Because who was behind it is the one who benefits the most - Cui Bono?

Also it created jobs!!

[URL]http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=a06o3iOct3pU[/URL]

The real question is now knowing the facts how could a known terrorist get on a plane with no passport? Who has that authority?

#1353195Post 53 of 107

Re: Mahmoud al-Mabhouh Assassination

How about this:

How come no one (TSA inspectors, supervisors, police, etc) other than this one lawyer guy have talked to the media or any reporters about how they were forced to let this guy thru screening? ? If they were told by their higher ups to ignore standard protocol on this guy and the one every girl is crazy for, the sharp dressed man, why has no one else come foward? Not a single person who would have had to let this guy thru security hasnt talked? There should be a host of conspirators right?

^You aren't making sense with that argument.

1] On this issue you believe ONE eyewitness and say that this MUST be true, vs the rest of the world. 2] On all of your 9/11 ramblings you believe a small subset, the AE911 folks (2000 or whatever amount of people) vs the rest of the world.

That is not common sense.

[B]COVER UP !!! FBI Quietly Reverses Underwear Terror Bomber Official Story…Kurt Haskell’s description[/B]

[I]Authorities have quietly reversed the official story behind the Christmas Day underwear bomber attack and acknowledged that an accomplice was involved, despite weeks of denial and derision of eyewitness Kurt Haskell’s description of a sharp-dressed man who helped Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab board Flight 253 in Amsterdam.

Buried in the last two paragraphs of a story about alleged female suicide bombers coming from Yemen, an ABC News report contains the following bombshell.

“ Detroiteye also tell ABCNews.com they are attempting to identify a man who passengers said helped Abdulmutallab change planes for Detroit when he landed in Amsterdam from Lagos, Nigeria.” [/I]

American officials say there were two additional incidents, in Minneapolis and in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in which people on the no-fly list were denied boarding, questioned and then allowed to leave the airport without being detained. [IMG]http://a.abcnews.com/images/News/ap_253_2_100122_mn.jpg[/IMG]Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is accused of attempting to bring down Northwest flight 253 with an "underwear bomb" on Dec. 25, 2009. Abdulmutallab told officials that others like him had trained with him in Yemen. (J.P. Karas/AP Photo)

"What we don't know is whether this is because everyone is doing a better job of enforcing the no-fly list, or because the list has been expanded, or because the terrorists are attempting to probe our security," said [URL="http://abcnew.go.com/"]ABC News[/URL] Clarke. A senior U.S. official said the most likely explanation involved the recent expansion of the no-fly list to include more possible terror suspects. At the same time, U.S. law enforcement agencies have quietly begun an intense and widespread effort to investigate [URL="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/muslim-american-convicts-yemen-pose-threat/story?id=9602228"]any American resident who traveled to Yemen[/URL] in recent months or who was in contact with the radical cleric Anwar Awlaki, who authorities believe serves as an al Qaeda recruiter.

Canadian authorities are also running down leads of any Canadian citizens who have traveled to Yemen, a senior official there said. Awlaki, an American citizen who lives in Yemen, has been connected by authorities to the accused Northwest bomber, the accused shooter at Fort Hood and several other men convicted of terrorist activity in the United States and Canada.

As part of the additional scrutiny, federal agents are conducting extensive background checks on every passenger who flew to Detroit on the Northwest flight in case one of them might have been sent as a "spotter" on the mission. Federal agents also tell ABCNews.com they are attempting to identify a man who passengers said helped Abdulmutallab change planes for Detroit when he landed in Amsterdam from Lagos, Nigeria. [COLOR=Red][B]Authorities had initially discounted the passenger accounts, but the agents say there is a growing belief the man have played a role to make sure Abdulmutallab "did not get cold feet."

Don't get your hopes up. First of all, an interview of a dude on Infowars.com/prisonplanet.net/batshitcrazy.biz isn't particularly persuasive to me. I didn't listen to the whole interview, so maybe you can give me the cliff's notes version, but I'm fuzzy on how he could be in a position to learn that he didn't have his passport in the first place. It's not that I don't believe this guy [I]per se[/I], I'm just not convinced that he saw what he thought he saw or that it leads to the conclusions that you and your merry band of nutjobs seek to draw. Was he behind him in line at the ticket counter or something? That's the only time I take out my passport when I'm traveling.

For instance, let's take a face value that he was in the presence of a "sharp dressed man." WTF does that even mean? Even if you assume that this "sharp dressed man" was an accomplice, it is quite a stretch to go from that to "the US government put a known terrorist on this plane with the intent that he try to detonate a bomb once on board."

Re: Mahmoud al-Mabhouh Assassination

of course.. he is a lawyer. It is called a disclaimer to cover his ass he doesn't want to end up dead now does he? Making a public statement saying the US gov't tried to take down the plane would be a sure way to lose his job and possibly assasinated.

So we are in agreement that the US gov't let him on board then? That Mutallab sure did sell a lot of body scanners.

but by merely claiming that the government are covering up the whole thing - thats not a cause for assassination?? the US government must have guidelines for those kind of distinctions.
