The best, the only news you really get, unless you know people who are
actually involved, is from the European press, they do follow this, and
they are not as strictly censored as the American press, where we don't
get any facts of any kind. But the former foreign minister Mohammed
Hakum, I used to know, of Egypt, he said, look, we've been tracking
Osama for years. We know all about him, talking about the Egyptian
Secret Service, as also Mossad had, the CIA has, we know everything
about him. He's no more capable of pulling off as intricate a stunt as
9-11, organizing it, putting it in place, he said, that's a major
country's has done that, with a secret service and modern forces. It
isn't coming from a bunch of religious fanatics no matter how
dedicated. They can't do it, any more than Timothy McVeigh all alone
could have made that bomb and detonated it without blowing himself up.
There was a larger group involved. And the FBI had a pretty good idea
who they are.
