CIA rejects charge it failed to share bomb suspect intelligence

No interest? I do find it interesting that they are now pointing fingers at each other as to who failed. CIA says it turned the info over.

Total system failure.

Seems to me that the epic fail here occured in
Belgium, where Dutch airport security officials
allowed the Nigerian man with know terrorists links
to board the US bound plane.

To what extent it is realistic to expect the
National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) (or any other
US agency) to be able to effectively implement and
oversee security protocols and timely intelligence
sharing to relevant people is the question yet to
be answered.

Rememeber, this all really got started with the
Bush republican expansion of federal "anti-terrorism"
bureaucracy...so far there have been NO MAJOR ATTACKS
SINCE 911 -> FACT.

its all sounding rather coincidental some nut tales bait gets waved on to a plane then they burn his nuts

sounds like a test that went too far and mistook it for a real event and now all that cried bingo now say it was them not us that with held

some things dont happen on accident
a few yrs back with the no fly list klm and ba flights were turned back due to odd people on board and now all are welcome

blinding idea this might have been an op that just exposed for those that need to know who's on which team

The CIA did NOT tell anybody because the guy worked for them. Here ya go:

UNITED STATES of America - ....Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, the father of NWA Flight 253 Christmas Day terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, actually began meeting with the CIA and its then Director Michael Hayden in early 2008.

The first set of meetings concluded around June of 2008, at which point Flight 253 Christmas Day terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was issued a two year multiple entry visitor visa by the then BushFRAUD run U.S. State Department's Embassy in London on June 16, 2008 valid to June 12, 2010.
...
We can now divulge that Michael Hayden refused to pass on an intelligence report to either the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in which the terrorist suspect's father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, singled out his son as a possible Islamic extremist and suicidal.

We can now reveal that Hayden did share this information on Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab with then illegal White House occupant George W. BushFRAUD, his terror czar Frances Townsend and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove.

This confirms our previous intelligence briefing linking Townsend with the Christmas Day terrorist suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

We can also report that the First Bank of Nigeria, run by now former Chairman Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, the father of NWA Flight 253 Christmas Day terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has been a CIA front for more than eight (8) years and has been financing various CIA "Black Ops" in the Middle East and Africa and has had a direct financial tie to the Saudi Royal Family and its oil interests.

Map of the 2008 Mumbai attacks

We can now also divulge that this CIA front bank in Nigeria has had financial links to terrorist activity in Yemen, Afghanistan and to the Mumbai, India "False Flag" terrorist attacks in November of 2008, which killed at least 163 and injured over 300.

Fourwinds10?

Mr. Bellringer?

Kinda Sorcha Faallike isn't it?

Guess you didn't read it. How disingenuous of you. You have your head in the sand, I'm afraid.

Fourwinds hosts articles from all over the world.
As for Sorcha...even the nuns get it right once in a while.

No matter, either of them, though NOT referenced here, are FAR MORE reliable than the MSM.

But let us not stop there. Lots of Sources, actually:

28th December: A trusted source informs us that Kurt Haskell, a lawyer from Michigan, is the source of the following UNCONFIRMED information:

The Nigerian involved in the suspected false-flag attempt on the aircraft flying from Schiphol, Amsterdam, to Detroit, was accompanied by a well-dressed Western male who accosted security staff at the Dutch airport and ordered them to allow the Nigerian to pass through security without a passport check and a proper security search.

The security staff stated that they would have to consult superiors, which they did. The Nigerian was then allowed through controls without any impediment. Looks like a US Homeland Security set-up.

THe white house blames everything on the CIA. Remember the whole nancy pelosi denying that she was briefed about torturing terrorists and when it was proved that she in fact WAS briefed about it, she said she forgot? The blame starts at the white house.
And i might add that if the CIA is in fact as incompetent as the obama administration claims, then wouldn't it be easy for the white house to clean house? Or are they afraid of our CIA assasins?
Im watching abc spin this away from obama and his goons right now. sick

And lest we leave anything out:

Dutch police investigating report of accomplice in Northwest Flight 235 terror plot:

A Michigan man who was aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 says he witnessed Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab trying to board the plane in Amsterdam without a passport.

Kurt Haskell of Newport, Mich., who posted an earlier comment about his experience, talked exclusively with MLive.com and confirmed he was on the flight by sending a picture of his boarding pass. He and his wife, Lori, were returning from a safari in Uganda when they boarded the NWA flight on Friday.

Haskell said he and his wife were sitting on the ground near their boarding gate in Amsterdam, which is when they saw Mutallab approach the gate with an unidentified man.

Kurt and Lori Haskell are attorneys with Haskell Law Firm in Taylor. Their expertise includes bankruptcy, family law and estate planning.

While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said: 'He's from Sudan and we do this all the time'”.

Mutallab is Nigerian. Haskell believes the man may have been trying to garner sympathy for Mutallab's lack of documents by portraying him as a Sudanese refugee.

The ticket agent referred Mutallab and his companion to her manager down the hall, and Haskell didn't see Mutallab again until after he allegedly tried to detonate an explosive on the plane.

Haskell said the flight was mostly unremarkable. That was until he heard a flight attendant say she smelled smoke, just after the pilot announced the plane would land in Detroit in 10 minutes. Haskell got out of his seat to view the brewing commotion.

“I stood up and walked a couple feet ahead to get a closer look, and that's when I saw the flames”, said Haskell, who sat about seven rows behind Mutallab. “It started to spread pretty quickly. It went up the wall, all the way to ceiling”.

Haskell, who described Mutallab as a diminutive man who looks like a teenager, said about 30 seconds passed between the first mention of smoke and when Mutallab was subdued by fellow passengers. “He didn't fight back at all. This wasn't a big skirmish”, Haskell said. “A couple guys jumped on him and hauled him away”.

The ordeal has left Haskell and his wife a little shaken. Flight attendants were screaming during the fire and the pilot sounded notably nervous when bringing the plane in for a landing, he said.

“Immediately, the pilot came on and said two words: emergency landing”, Haskell said. “And that was it. The plane sped up instead of slowing down. You could tell he floored it”.

As Mutallab was being led out of the plane in handcuffs, Haskell said he realized that was the same man he saw trying to board the plane in Amsterdam.

Passengers had to wait about 20 minutes before they were allowed to exit the plane. Haskell said he and other passengers waited about six hours to be interviewed by the FBI.

About an hour after landing, Haskell said he saw another man being taken into custody. But a spokeswoman from the FBI in Detroit said Mutallab was the only person taken into custody'.


• FURTHER DEVELOPMENT APPENDED 10:45PM UK TIME 30TH DECEMBER 2009:

Mr Haskell disseminated the following update at about 9:30pm UK time, so 3:30pm CST:

'Just to give everyone an update. I had a visit from the FBI yesterday. They brought in several photos including one I casually identified to them as "The man they won't admit exists that they detained in customs". Amazingly, they changed their story and admitted that this 2nd Indian [sic: Ed.] man was still being held in Customs on "immigration issues" (i.e. no passport) last night. So, their first story that only one man had been detained was apparently untruthful'.

'I got a several minute close up look at the terrorist in Amsterdam and he has quite a different look about him [sic: Ed.]. Further, there were very few black persons on our flight or at the airport and he was rather easy for me to identify later. Hope this helps. Thanks Mlive and those that continue to be supportive. KH'.


• Note: The Dutch security service is reported in the British press to have DENIED that the Nigerian passed through airport checks without a passport. Specifically, a spokesman for the Netherlands Counter-Terrorism Office said on 29th December 2009:

'He had a passport and a valid visa for the United States and KLM had clearance on the passenger list to carry him to the US'. So someone is lying. The procedure when these World Revolutionary operations are botched (whether deliberately so or not) is for conflicting information to be piled systematically upon conflicting information, creating a picture of total confusion that they hope cannot be unravelled.

END OF AIRCRAFT BOMBING UPDATED UPDATE.

Nothing like letting everybody know who you are, Shillboy.

Your CIA is just a mafiosa strongarm for the Bush Clinton Crime Family. Make ya feel good? Arncha' just proud?

Everybody knows it now. the hundredth monkey just ate his banana...it's over boys. Whoa! LISTEN! What's that? I do believe I hear the fat lady singing..."You're in the jailhouse now..."

BS

My thoughts exactly. Blame the CIA again. More of their stuff is classified and makes it harder for them to defend themselves.

I'm very interested. I don't know why four cretins gave this one star.

This one kosher enough for you?


Source: US knew of terror suspect

12.26.09, 19:53 / Israel News


An official briefed on the attack on a Detroit airliner says the US has known for at least two years that the suspect in the attack could have terrorist ties.

The official tells the Associated Press that the Nigerian suspect, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, has been on a list that includes people with known or suspected contact or ties to a terrorist or terrorist organization.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. The list is maintained by the US National Counterterrorism Center. It includes about 550,000 names. People on the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment list are not necessarily on the no-fly list. New York congressman Peter King says Mutallab was not on the no-fly list. [link to www.ynetnews.com]

Oh, poor, poor babies...they can't defend themselves because they canna' tell the truth.
I DO BELIEVE THAT IS THE POINT, FELLAS.

The CIA is the biggest bunch of lying, two-faced, American-sell-outs to ever come down the pike. When the slate gets cleaned, they will be the first to go. Okay, almost the first.

You guys sure don't read much around here. This stuff is all over the place and you all act like it is new to you.

Or, you are just shills. hmmm

The CIA didn't even redeem itself by reporting what they knew of the 9/11 attack on America. There is no defense for the CIA, their evil manipulations and assassinations of always the good guys, not the bad guys. They are so evil, and by the way, they lied, not Nancy Pelosi, and Obama is helpless against their power, as are we.

Besides, why do you think they want to go bomb Yemen? By the way, they were doing it even before they employed the bomber for gosh sakes!

They are bombing Yemen because Yemen is where they set up so many of their (CIA's) Al Queda camps. And the CIA needs to get rid of the evidence.

Can't be having the American Public know what they did...or at least have the evidence to PROVE what they did. No.

Now after recruiting these folks, they are going in to kill them all. Just like Saddam Hussein and Noriega.

Terror of the worst sort brought to you by the same jerks who brought you the 'Schools of the Americas', those great monuments to man's inhumanity to man.

Ya, nice folks.

But, hey, this is coming out everywhere. Broaden your horizons a little. You can read it at several sites now.

Exactly! The bomber was tackled on the plane by a CIA operative! And Janet Napalitano was right behind him!

What country do you live in

Then there's this guy:


FBI Silent On Plane Bomber’s Accomplice

Flight 253 eyewitness Kurt Haskell has astoundingly revealed how the FBI are deliberately hiding the existence of a second man who was arrested following the Christmas Day plane bombing incident after bomb-sniffing dogs detected a possible second explosive device in his luggage.

Appearing on The Alex Jones Show yesterday, Haskell related how after being allowed to disembark from the plane by officials, passengers were detained in customs with their carry-on luggage for six hours while they waited to be interrogated by the FBI.

Bomb sniffing dogs then detected a possible explosive device in the luggage of an Indian man around 30 years old before the man was arrested and led away to an interrogation room.

The probability that there was a bomb in the man’s luggage was all but confirmed when the FBI moved the passengers to another location. “You’re being moved,” the FBI told them, “it is not safe here. I’m sure you all saw what happened and can read between the lines and why you’re being moved.”

The identity of the second man has not been discussed by authorities or the media and Haskell’s description of his own interview with the FBI suggests that the feds are deliberately trying to bury the notion that the bomber had one or more accomplices.

The FBI was not pleased with Haskell when they conducted a follow-up interview yesterday in Michigan. They showed him close-up photographs of various people, including Mutallab, the accused bomber. “They kind of tried to trick me,” Haskell explained. The agents tried to pass off two photos of Mutallab as different people. Kurt asked the agents if they were attempting to impeach his story and smear him.

The Indian man was not included in the photographs. Neither was another Indian man who Haskell told the media had helped the bomber board the plane despite the fact that he had no passport. The sharp dressed Indian lied about the bomber’s circumstances, claiming he was a Sudanese refugee.

Haskell asked them why he was not shown a full body shot of the suspect. Haskell was eight rows back from the suspect. The FBI agents did not answer and were displeased with the question. He also asked the FBI agents if it would be more appropriate to bring the surveillance video from the Amsterdam airport instead of still photos. “I don’t think they liked that comment from me,” Haskell added. The FBI said they did not have the videotape. They also made a point to tell Haskell they were asking the questions and not him.

The agents showed Haskell a photograph of the man flagged by the bomb-sniffing dog and taken into custody in customs. “Isn’t this the man who had the bomb in his carry-on bag that you arrested in customs who you refuse to admit exists?” Haskell asked the agents. “They really didn’t like that comment from me and had no comment back to me but I said it sure looks like the man you refuse to admit exists.”

There has also been no official explanation as to the identity of another mysterious man seen calmly filming the entire flight, including the botched bombing attempt, with a video camera.

Haskell described the FBI’s handling of the aftermath of the incident as “a complete embarrassment, a total disorganizational mess that actually put us in more jeopardy than we were already in.”

Passengers were told to remain seated in the aircraft for 20 minutes after landing despite the fact security did not know at that point if there was an explosive on the plane or if the fire started by the suspect Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab while on descent to the airport had spread under the floor in the cabin or to the fuel tanks in the wings.

"...About an hour after landing, Haskell said he saw another man being taken into custody. But a spokeswoman from the FBI in Detroit said Mutallab was the only person taken into custody." [link to www.mlive.com]

If true that is totally outrageous disregard for passenger safety and upsetting to even think about.

Man Videotaped Underwear Bomber On Flight 253

December 28, 2009

For ABC News and the corporate media, it is a foregone conclusion. The Christmas underwear bomber is al-Qaeda.

“American officials have cause to worry there may be more al Qaeda-trained young men in Yemen planning to bring down American jets,” report Brian Ross and Richard Esposito. “Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, charged with the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, told FBI agents there were more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon.”

And then there is the supposed tape released four days before the attempted underwear bombing. It shows what ABC describes as “the leader of al Qaeda in Yemen” who says he will kill Americans. “We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God.”

“Yemen has become a principal al Qaeda training ground and the accused suicide bomber told the FBI he was trained for more than a month in Yemen, given 80 grams of a high explosive cleverly sewn into his underpants, undetected by standard security screening.”

On Sunday, the neocon Joe Lieberman said the U.S. needs to bomb Yemen and pronto. “Iraq was yesterday’s war, Afghanistan is today’s war. If we don’t act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow’s war,” the “hawkish” (neocon) senator from Connecticut told Fox News.

Lieberman, who helms the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said Yemen is the new home of al-Qaeda. A script on Yemen and al-Qaeda is now being uniformly followed by the corporate media.

Meanwhile, more suspicious information about the underwear bombing has surfaced. An eye witness told the news talk radio station 620 WTMJ in Milwaukee that a man had videotaped the entire flight.

Patricia “Scotty” Keepman and her daughter witnessed the alleged botched bombing. Keepman’s “daughter said that ahead of them was a man who videotaped the entire flight, including the attempted detonation.”

“He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly,” said Patricia. “We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we’ve heard nothing about it.”

On Saturday it was reported that a “sharp-dressed man” had escorted Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab when he boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 in Amsterdam. Mutallab was allowed on the plane without a passport. It was later reported that Mutallab seemed to be in a trance.

The alleged videotaping of the underwear bomber and his fudged attack is another oddity that the corporate media should zoom in on. Unfortunately, we no longer have a functioning investigative media in this country.

Instead we will hear endless pabulum about a resurgent al-Qaeda and murderous idiocy from neocons like Joe Lieberman who are screaming for another small and defenseless country to be bombed and more innocents slaughtered as the U.S. chases a phantom terror group created by the CIA.

This one's subtle:


NWA 253: Who Was The Mystery Videographer -- and Was He Able to Send His Video Back to Al-Qaeda?

Fascinating snippet from WTMJ 620 radio in Milwaukee ("Oconomowoc Family Survives Terrorist Attempt"):

...They were sitting about 20 rows behind Abdulmutallab, in a center aisle with her husband and daughter a row ahead of her and their two new adopted children, a six-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy.

Her daughter said that ahead of them was a man who videotaped the entire flight, including the attempted detonation.

"He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly," said Patricia. "We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we've heard nothing about it."

"We heard what sounded like an electrical pop to me. Everybody looked above their seats, kind of like startled, panicked. Shortly thereafter, we heard the screams. We could not see what was going on. We were too far back. We heard shouting, and you could hear the mayhem happening.

At that point, two flight attendants ran at full speed to get fire extinguishers...


The obvious implication is that the mystery videotaper was there as part of the Al Qaeda team. His job, presumably, was to document the attempt in the event if failed to come off "successfully":

• Was the bomber detected ahead of the planned detonation and, if so, how?

• How would the crew and passengers react once the fuse was lit?

• What methods would those aboard use to defeat the threat if indeed the bomb failed to ignite?

In other words, Al Qaeda presumably wanted to learn from any failure by taping the entire incident.

And if the mystery taper was able to deplane and transmit the video back to Al Qaeda, it represents another major tactical failure for Janet Napolitano and the Obama administration's "War on Man-Made Disasters".
