Are you diggin this shit
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 02:28 AM by LibertyorDeath
"Investigators also found personal documents bearing the names of two of the other men near seats on the Aldgate and Edgware lines. Police did not identify the men."

That's right ladies & gentlemen the bombers were considerate enough
to bring along personal identifying documents.

and although the explosions were so powerful they did this

"Forensics experts have said it could take days or weeks to identify the bodies many of which were blown apart and would have to be identified through dental records or DNA analysis. Investigators said late Tuesday that 11 bodies have been identified."

The documents survived intact.

Can ya dig it!

7. "... passports of the 9/11 'hijackers' ..."
I was going to mention those, and the way they floated unscathed to earth by the feet of the investigators.

A British online firend mention Blair being "bribed" long ago. Are these guys on the bandwagon w/*?

us to swallow.

The name alone is like something out of an Austin Powers movie

that they had found Atta's passport, intact and unburnt, in the rubble surrounding the WTC. Or was it his visa?

6. Paper Often Comes To Little Harm, Sir
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 02:40 AM by The Magistrate
It is not a thing to be broken by blast, and the flash of a high explosive detonation does not in itself have much incendiary effect: it is hot, but does not last more than an instant. Concussion often blows clothing off of bodies, and empties pockets and such.

14. Does not mention Wallets say's "personal documents"
"investigators also found personal documents bearing the names of two of the other men"

That sounds like something other than a Wallet.

Maybe they were thoughtful enough to bring along their Birth Certificate or Passports

Maybe a Utility bill with their name address & phone #.

This is my starting point " All Governments Lie & All Politicians are Liars.

56. you don't have ID handy?
I know I keep my metro card in my wallet, handy for taking the train. It's not like they needed to keep their identities secret, right? you want to do what's normal, to not attract any attention until you detonate your bomb. So you carry a wallet. Why bother with a fake ID? they going to glue you back together, reanimate you and put you in jail?

66. I'm not buying it
because it would be ludricrous for the bombers to give immediate feedback on their identity because then the trail back to the higher ups is still hot. Whereas, if it takes a few days to ID these bombers, the trail is much more covered and the people who orchestrated it can still claim credit while avoiding apprehension.

70. I was thinking they wouldn't have strong feelings either way.
I guess, though, if I wanted to ensure my identity be known, videotape would be the way to go. It's much more dramatic. I wouldn't count on my ID being found in the aftermath.

39. And Yet, Sir
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 03:02 PM by The Magistrate
As they say, even paranoids have enemies, and so do governments.

One of the things that interests me in this line of argument is that it would seem to me we are all in agreement here that large portions of the world, including the Moslem world, have deep and legitimate grievances against governments of the West, and yet attacks against these governments and their societies are explained away as the creation of those governments, and it is denied that they are in any way actions intended to bring home those deep and legitmate grievances by the persons we are agreed do indeed hold them.Tthe basis for this is unclear to me. Are we to believe that there is some deep commitment to pacifism that prevenmts these people from taking any violent action? Even a cursory knowledge of the cultures and history involved would suggest otherwise. Are we to believe that people from these cultures are incapable of successfully executing such actions in the face of Western security skills? That smacks of a certain attitude toward non-Western peoples we are all also, here, very much opposed to, yourself included, doubtless.

It is indeed, Sir, a riddle wrapped in an enigma....

15. Not that I know of the article does not mention check points
"Police raided six homes in Leeds searching for explosives and computer files that would shed more light on what were believed to be the first suicide bombings in Western Europe. They arrested a man, identified by the British news agency Press Association as a relative of one of the suspected bombers.

A town councilor told The Associated Press that at least three of the presumed suicide bombers were British citizens of Pakistani ancestry."

I have friends who picked up memos and canceled checks from the WTC that drifted on the air into Brooklyn

although I would suppose, if this is the case, that there would be many documents belonging to vctims as well. How does one zero in on the docs that belong to the bad guys?

is of the "needle-in-a-haystack" kind. but i don't doubt that docs survive.

zeroing in the "right" docs in such short order seems highly unlikely

63. Hell the concrete was pulverized into dust.
The steel melted. The entire building collapsed. But that little passport fell out of a pocket, sailed out of the plane, passed through the explosion and fire on it's way out the window, and landed where it could be found almost immediately. Why the odds of it not being buried by debris are.....
unbelievable.

18. Nobody said docs were intact. They didn't have to leave them.
Boy, its amazing how the paranoid mind works.

When something is blown up, there are tatters and pieces of all kinds of stuff left behind. What is damaged and what is not is very very random. Its quite possible that a person wearing a bomb could detonate it and the contents of their wallet, in varying degrees of damaged-ness, would be scattered in the vicinity.

In short, nothing in this story justifies the conclusions you leap to.

When the “powers that be” offer explanations that are implausible, inconsistent, and irrational, skepticism is a healthy response and skepticism breeds speculation. If you ridicule speculation, you stifle critical thinking and dissent.

What's my opinion based on. It's based on the Historical Fact that Western governments have previously "created the enemies they need".

I do not know anymore than anyone else here what actually happened in London.

This does not preclude me from having an opinion & I respect the Mods and Admins for giving me this space to express it.

62. I can understand that but if you wanted to be identified with the act
Then they could make a video and send it to the media

Blowing yourself to bits with identity papers on you when you WANT to be
identified with the act does not make a whole lot of sense considering there is a very strong chance your ID will be blown to bits or destroyed in the blast. IMO

71. identification is a nasty critter
two more possible uses of these 'identifying papers':

FLASHBACK- 911
1. misdirect honest police work

BBC - FBI probes hijackers' identities 9/21/01
It believes that some of the hijackers used false identities, possibly even names of people who are still alive, which could significantly complicate the manhunt.

The New Yorker - What Went Wrong
by Seymour Hersh - 10/1/01
Many of the investigators believe that some of the initial clues that were uncovered about the terrorists' identities and preparations, such as flight manuals, were meant to be found. A former high-level intelligence official told me, "Whatever trail was left was left deliberately--for the F.B.I. to chase."

The stunning news prompted FBI Director Robert Mueller to admit that some of the hijackers may have stolen identities of innocent citizens. In September 2002, Mueller told CNN twice that there is "no legal proof to prove the identities of the suicidal hijackers."

Revealed: the men with stolen identities

2. False Flag
now who would steal identifying documents from arabs/muslims and why?

I think it may also be valid to speculate, if the framed were not to be left alive this time around. Shouldn't be too hard for slick agents to trick a few innocent people to be at a certain place at designated time.

How convenient and easy. Since you know many bodies will not be indentifiable, you simply leave damning 'evidence' behind. (Quran in Madrid or Boston) Nobody questions- everyone follows--and you disappear...

i'm taking off my tinfoil hat to read some more Agatha Christie!
