FBI is covering up key aspects to the 9/11 story
Guerrilla of the Week

Daniel Hopsicker's new book Welcome to Terrorland: Mohamed Atta and the 9-11 Cover-Up in Florida goes where the 9/11 Commission dares not look.

Hopsicker is a former NBC News producer who spent two years in Venice, Florida researching Huffman Aviation, the school that trained 9/11 pilots Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi. Hopsicker's investigation connects this Florida flight school to a series of shadowy international figures. In Welcome to Terrorland, not only does Hopsicker exclusively interview Atta's American girlfriend, he finds reason to believe that the FBI is covering up key aspects to the 9/11 story.

Hopsicker reports that flight school owner Wally Hilliard has a series of strange connections to rich and powerful players. Hilliard's history as a businessman links him to Silverado Resorts' Myron DuBain (who hosted the Bushes, Rumsfeld and Ollie North) and John McCone, director of the CIA under JFK and Johnson. Hilliard bought a plane from Truman Arnold (the Clinton fund-raiser who sold visits to the Lincoln bedroom) for only one dollar. Hilliard also got stiffed on a major loan to Jerry Falwell. Hopsicker points out: Hilliard's plane was busted with 43 pounds of heroin in Orlando the same month Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi arrived at his school in Venice, Florida. According to Hopsicker's sources in Virginia and Florida, Hilliard had a "green light" from the DEA.

GNN contributor Sander Hicks recently talked with Hopsicker for the INN World Report (seen on Free Speech TV, Channel 9415, DiSHNetwork) about the flight school mysteries, Atta's very un-suicide-bomber-like behavior, and the allegations that the FBI was engaged in a cover-up:

1. If the Media is all about ratings...
Why doesn't Larry King have Mohammed Atta's girlfriend on as a guest. Think of the ratings! Coming next on CNN, Live with Larry King, "The Terrorist's Girlfriend"! THINK about it!

2. Truth is for tinfoil hat wearing lunatics.
We can't handle the truth. Please, stop rocking our boat floating on deNile, with factual information.

3. The thing I don't get is, if Atta was not a relig fundie, then why
did he and those others fly into the buildings? He didn't follow very strict rules. I can definitely understand why the FBI would want to be mum on what Atta was doing, since it appears to be shady connections between the flight school owners, drug running, the DEA, FBI and CIA.

5. Maybe he didn't know the planes were going into the buildings.
He did say over the radio that they were going back to the airport.

Have you ever heard of the "home run" technology?

4. Used to live in Venice. Wish I still lived there & could do some snooping.
Maybe just as well. I'd probably be at Guantanamo right now if I were....
