FBI knew al-Awlaki had bought air tickets for 9/11 hijackers -- still was invited to Pentagon and preached on Capitol Hill

Here is evidence that the infiltration long predates the Obama Administration.

Here is al-Awlaki addressing "moderate" Muslims including Nihad Awad of Hamas-linked CAIR on Capitol Hill in 2002. The rest is below. "Documents Uncovered by Judicial Watch Indicate FBI Knew Assassinated U.S. Born Terrorist Anwar al-Aulaqi Purchased Airline Tickets for 9/11 Hijackers," from Judicial Watch, January 3 (thanks to Jeff):

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - Jan 3, 2013) - Judicial Watch announced today that it has received documents from the U.S. State Department indicating that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was aware on September 27, 2001, that Anwar al-Aulaqi, the U.S. born terrorist assassinated by a U.S. drone in Yemen on September 30, 2011, had purchased airplane tickets for three of the 9/11 terrorist hijackers, including mastermind Mohammed Atta. Subsequent to the FBI's discovery, al-Aulaqi was detained and released by authorities at least twice and had been invited to dine at the Pentagon.

According to a September 27, 2001, FBI transcription, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State and Federal Bureau of Investigations (No. 1:12-cv-00893)), al-Aulaqi purchased airline tickets for the following 9/11 hijackers:

  • Mohammed Atta, America West Airlines, 08/13/2001, for a flight from Washington, DC, to Las Vegas, Nevada, to Miami, Florida.

  • S. Suqami, Southwest Airlines, 07/10/2001, for a flight from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to Orlando, Florida.

  • Al-Sheri, National Airlines, 08/01/2001, for a flight from San Francisco, California, to Las Vegas, Nevada, to Miami, Florida.

The documents also include material showing that al-Aulaqi was uncooperative with FBI agents investigating the 9/11 attacks and was seemingly a central focus of the FBI investigation and monitoring related to 9/11.

But records previously uncovered by Judicial Watch, subsequent to the September 27, 2001, FBI transcription, show that al-Aulaqi was arrested and released by authorities. Two documents uncovered by Judicial Watch include "Privacy Act Release Forms" issued by the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a, Yemen, and signed by al-Aulaqi. One was dated November 14, 2006, and the other July 2, 2007, indicating that al-Aulaqi had been arrested by authorities. The documents do not indicate how long al-Aulaqi was detained or why he was released.

In addition to the arrests noted by the documents in 2006 and 2007, al-Aulaqi was detained and questioned at New York's JFK airport on October 10, 2002, under a warrant for passport fraud, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. However, the FBI ordered al-Aulaqi's release, even though the arrest warrant was still active at the time of his detention as reported by Fox News Channel's Catherine Herridge. Once released al-Aulaqi then took a flight to Washington, DC, and eventually returned to Yemen.

On February 5, 2002, four months after the FBI discovered his connection to the 9/11 terrorists, al-Aulaqi was invited to dine at the Pentagon on February 5, 2002, "as part of the military's outreach to the Muslim community in the immediate aftermath of the attacks," reports Herridge.

The Obama Administration is the worst respecting its continued indulgence of Islam, but there's more than enough blame to go around, as evidenced here.

America, wake up. Islam is, in effect, spiritual Nazism. It's a totalitarian ideology pure and simple and so-called moderate Muslims do NOTHING to contradict this truth. In fact, so-called moderate Muslims are an obfuscation of the truth and not a pathway to it. Islam is antithetical to real democratic principles like freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

The excuse making for Islam needs to end. If it doesn't, freedom could end. The choice is this simple because Islam and freedom are eternal enemies of one another.

This will be fodder for the 9/11 Truthers for sure, but one does wonder, had al-Aulaqi been a government asset all along, and merely gone rogue or lived past his usefulness (and hence his execution via drone)?

Wonder what role Deputy Secretary of Denfense English played. The one who replaced major Coughlin with Hesham Islam.
The executive branches have been penetrated with more bi-partisan cooperation than any Congress.
Though Islamics are secure and more blatanly advertising their dominance in the past four years it seeds were planted and fertilized with high-grade PC.
But, my fellow Americans; You don't give a damn enough to step out on it do you.
You'll fret and snicker, mourn and moan, but what will we do?
The evidence of action bin is empty.

I recall the moron, Glenn Greenwald, claiming al-Awlaki was a moderate until he became an extremist in response to drone strikes and the invasion of Iraq.

Could the Left have any worse of track record?

obama's been chummy with the lowest of the low like bill ayers, frank marshall davis, jeremiah wright, and now this soulless creep? ...for shame, and he's our president!

bush and Obama the 2 dhimmi presidents responsible for the death of America

This sickens and saddens beyond words. The sense of betrayal, overwhelming. And I agree with everything you say, to a letter, about Islam.

But I believe there is no chance freedom will end. So long as liberty lives in the heart of one man or woman, the whole totalitarian scheme is at risk.

Was the pathetic 'outreach' to the savages after 9/11 borne of cowardice, fear, or guilt for making muslims so angry and frustrated that they had to kill a few thousand Americans to vent their rage? I just don't get it; why should victims reach out to their enemies?

It doesn't seem to matter to anyone, least of all the dozens of intelligence agencies operating in this country, that known terrorists and terrorist sympathizers have infiltrated our government and others are living in our country waiting for orders to attack us again. Political correctness is more important than the islamic threat and God forbid anyone should blame islam for islamic terrorism.

Although nothing really surprises me anymore when it comes to predatory islam and its psychotic adherents, it really is almost beyond belief that the horrendous attack of 9/11 advanced the islamic agenda instead of stopping it dead in its tracks. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect the attack of 9/11 to be advantageous to our muslim enemies or that our 'leaders' would stand with treacherous muslim clerics and lecture the American people on tolerance and the innocence of peaceful American muslims. It was disgraceful then and it is disgraceful now; sickening.

How many more sleazy muslim supremacists and terrorist enablers will fool the stupid government bureaucrats and members of Congress before they see the obvious pattern of deceit and treachery? Everywhere I look I see treason, but apparently treason is not a crime anymore.

I agree. And treason against the natural human rights outlined in the U.S. Constitution is a crime still.

And trust that justice will be served. There are millions of men and women who take their sacred oath to protect those precepts deadly seriously.

Freedom will win.

Who on the inside is pulling the strings for the Islamic Jihadists? That needs to delved into, deeply.

Long predated for sure, unbelievably willful blindness, on so very many peoples part. And now with this regime it is at an astonishing pitch of infiltration and actions, in lock step as well by fifth column leftists loaded with ignorance and treason.

I hope the following development, just announced, is going to do some more good as well, on wising up more of the public. This is from another quarter, respected as another top alternate valuable news source, WND, read the textual story in this add for a Whistleblower magazine issue of this January topic of merit.

It declares the truth that hussein is the first muslim president, an interesting read, I reckon:

http://superstore.wnd.com/SUBSCRIPTIONS/2010-2008/Whistleblower-Single-Issue-January-2013

".....and that’s the title Whistleblower confers on Barack Obama in its blockbuster January 2013 issue: “THE FIRST MUSLIM PRESIDENT.”

Barack Obama’s relationship with Islam has long been one of the most radioactive questions surrounding his presidency. Before the 2008 election, it was considered impolite in the extreme even to mention publicly Obama’s middle name, “Hussein,” a name given only to Muslim babies. And despite repeated polls showing a significant percentage of voters – one in three conservative Republicans and almost one in five of all voters – believe the president is currently a Muslim, those who dare bring up the issue are mercilessly scorned as ignoramuses and bigots.

Yet, there’s a side to Obama’s life, from his Muslim childhood, schooling, Quran studies, mosque attendance and prayer in Indonesia, to his bewilderingly pro-Muslim policies today as president, that has been carefully concealed from the public by the "mainstream media."

"If you’ve wondered why the current U.S. president seems so supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood – both in the Arab-Muslim Middle East and, in the form of its various front organizations, within America itself – “THE FIRST MUSLIM PRESIDENT” will open your eyes....."

Read on for more in the above URL...

The WND take on the IPT Egyptian MB infiltration story, with additional disturbing info, such as:

In 2009, the WND Books bestseller “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret World That’s Conspiring to Islamize America” featured an internal Council on American-Islamic Relations memo written in 2007 that called for infiltrating the “judiciary, intelligence and homeland security committees” by, among other things, “placing Muslim interns” in Capitol Hill offices.


The book also uncovered new evidence that CAIR directly funded Hamas and al-Qaida terrorist fronts.

@Meryl In my mind, an Islamist is someone who wants to implement Sharia, as part of national government, over non-muslims. If a muslim political candidate doesn't want to impose Sharia on non-muslims, as part of the government of a country, then they are not Islamist. I don't care if people pray in mosques or whatever but if they try to implement Sharia over me then they are Islamist.

You wrote: '...but one does wonder, had al-Aulaqi been a government asset all along, and merely gone rogue ....'

War is deceit, said the founder of the most violent belief system ever unleashed on the world. That means you are 'rogue' from the beginning! Al Wacky's 'asset' status, as you put it, was merely a ruse for the naive.

So, one does not need to wonder any longer!

Is it possible the FBI had Aulaqi and his connections under surveillance to find out as much about them as possible, and therefore chose not to arrest him or publicize his links to the 9/11 hijackers? If they had publicized those links, any terrorist associates or networks of Aulaqi would presumably have scattered and run, drying up possibly critical intelligence flows?

Sorry OT ...

Christians will love this teaching by David Wood:

But muslims will hate it!

Nice one, Champ. Thanks for sharing.

*have* you yet read Mark Durie's book 'The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom'?

If you haven't, do.

And then, after you've read The Third Choice: *read* Durie's next book, rather briefer - 'Liberty to the Captives'.

I think those of us who are Christian should take Durie's advice to heart.

It's certainly disturbing reading, the real question might be just who benefited the most by this double-double-dealing? Who was using who?

Maybe this al-Awlaki wasn't quite as smart as he thought he was.

He's dead meat now.

I don't recall seeing a "Virgil" in JW comments before (though I could be mistaken); but his not being a regular may explain the asymptotic lapse displayed by even flirting with the possibility that a Muslim can "go rogue" -- as though Muslims aren't already "rogue" to begin with. Muslims who seem to be on our side or neutral are in fact permanent, irremediable, implacable double agents, whose real intent is to assist the jihad (i.e., to assist the expansion of Islam). The only question in circumstances like Awlaki's is whether we were smart enough to use him while he thought he was using us -- a classic espionage relationship which Western intelligence is intelligent enough to know when it comes to other types of enemy; though when it comes to Islam and Muslims, our brains seem too often to abandon us.

You're welcome, London Jim!

You Ignorant Americans, don´t you guys know that he was working for George Bush? Don´t you guys know that until 2004 Al Qaeda men were still found working with the CIA?
