Reply #74: The main thought that struck me at the time

[shraby]

of the event was how they found all the people involved in the hijackings so quickly. I had no thoughts of LIHOP OR MIHOP at all at the time, but still wondered about this fact.

If they (government) had no idea anything was going to happen (that's the original story line) then how did they find the perps so quick? Since most of them were Saudis, bin Laden was blamed right away. They not only had the names, but pictures of the perps, where they were, that some of them had been at Las Vegas playing for a few days, that money was transferred to Atta right before the hijackings (but not who collected the money and never mentioned what bank). Also if it was to pay Atta for services, Atta would have been in Maine at the time and couldn't use the money anyway if he was on one of those planes.

on edit: I realize bin Laden was capable but there are soooo many questions surrounding the event that aren't explained....
