Noam Chomsky: No Evidence that Al-Qaeda Carried Out the 9/11 Attacks

 Washington’s Blog / ZeoHedge

Leading liberal intellectual Noam Chomsky just told Press TV:

“The explicit and declared motive of the [Afghanistan] war was to compel the Taliban to turn over to the United States, the people who they accused of having been involved in World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist acts. The Taliban…they requested evidence…and the Bush administration refused to provide any,” the 81-year-old senior academic made the remarks on Press TV’s program a Simple Question.

“We later discovered one of the reasons why they did not bring evidence: they did not have any.”

The political analyst also said that nonexistence of such evidence was confirmed by FBI eight months later.

“The head of FBI, after the most intense international investigation in history, informed the press that the FBI believed that the plot may have been hatched in Afghanistan, but was probably implemented in the United Arab Emirates and Germany.”

Chomsky added that three weeks into the war, “a British officer announced that the US and Britain would continue bombing, until the people of Afghanistan overthrew the Taliban… That was later turned into the official justification for the war.”

“All of this was totally illegal. It was more, criminal,” Chomsky said.

As Wired wrote on September 27, 2001:

President Bush has said he has evidence that Osama bin Laden was behind the attacks, so it would seem obvious that the FBI would include him and other suspects on its 10 most wanted fugitives Web page.

Think again.

Bin Laden is listed, but only for the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. There is no mention of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing or the attacks on the USS Cole in October 2000, both of which he is widely believed to have orchestrated. And forget about Sept. 11.

The reason? Fugitives on the list must be formally charged with a crime, and bin Laden is still only a suspect in the recent attacks in New York City and Washington.

“There’s going to be a considerable amount of time before anyone associated with the attacks is actually charged,” said Rex Tomb, who is head of the FBI’s chief fugitive publicity unit and helps decide which fugitives appear on the list. “To be charged with a crime, this means we have found evidence to confirm our suspicions, and a prosecutor has said we will pursue this case in court.”

Larry C. Johnson, a former CIA officer who was deputy director of the U.S. State Department Office of Counterterrorism from 1989 to 1993, said in a Sept. 12 interview conducted by Frontline that there is no concrete proof that bin Laden is responsible for the USS Cole and the 1993 WTC attacks, but bin Laden celebrates those attacks and associates himself with people who are responsible for it.

President Bush promises to reveal evidence linking bin Laden to the suicide hijackers who attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Bin Laden has applauded the attacks but denies direct involvement.

The Bush administration never provided such evidence.

As I wrote last December:

President Obama said Tuesday night as justification for the surge in troops in Afghanistan:

We did not ask for this fight. On September 11, 2001, 19 men hijacked four airplanes and used them to murder nearly 3,000 people.

Al Qaeda’s base of operations was in Afghanistan, where they were harbored by the Taliban”, who refused to turn over Osama bin Laden.

Is that true?

On October 14, 2001, the Taliban offered to hand over Osama bin Laden to a neutral country if the US halted bombing if the Taliban were given evidence of Bin Laden’s involvement in 9/11.

Specifically, as the Guardian writes:

Returning to the White House after a weekend at Camp David, the president said the bombing would not stop, unless the ruling Taliban “turn [bin Laden] over, turn his cohorts over, turn any hostages they hold over.” He added, “There’s no need to discuss innocence or guilt. We know he’s guilty” …

Afghanistan’s deputy prime minister, Haji Abdul Kabir, told reporters that the Taliban would require evidence that Bin Laden was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US.

“If the Taliban is given evidence that Osama bin Laden is involved” and the bombing campaign stopped, “we would be ready to hand him over to a third country”, Mr Kabir added.

However, as the Guardian subsequently points out:

A senior Taliban minister has offered a last-minute deal to hand over Osama bin Laden during a secret visit to Islamabad, senior sources in Pakistan told the Guardian last night.

For the first time, the Taliban offered to hand over Bin Laden for trial in a country other than the US without asking to see evidence first in return for a halt to the bombing, a source close to Pakistan’s military leadership said.

And yet … the U.S. turned down the offer and instead prosecuted war.

And in 2006, FBI agent Rex Tomb told reporter Ed Haas that the FBI still did not have enough evidence:

The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.

In fact, many leading liberals have expressed doubts about 9/11, including Daniel Ellsberg, Ray McGovern, William Blum, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, Lewis Lapham, Dan Hamburg, Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Amy Goodman, Thom Hartmann, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Marc Crispin Miller, Howard Zinn, Robert McChesney, Gore Vidal, Chris Floyd, Robert Fisk, Medea Benjamin, Doris “Granny D” Haddock, Paul Hawken, David Cobb, Randy Hayes, Ernest Callenbach, Dennis Bernstein, Paul H. Ray, Michael Franti, Janeane Garafalo and Ed Asner.

As have many prominent old-fashioned conservatives. And the 9/11 Commissioners themselves. See this.

      Lots of people knew this was going to happen. I do they feel when they saw all those people FORCED to jump off the building?

      We have proof because it was announced someone took HUGE Puts on the airline responsible. This was NEVER investigated and could have revealed who was involved.

      They (CBOE, etc) are SUPPOSE to investigate this kind of things for FRAUD, insider trading, etc., but they DIDN’T!! :mad:

        sorry pink–they already know who put the trades–easily traced–they were all people associated with israhell–trump promised to let us know who did the 9-11 attacks–he is holding off until “things” get in place -the sudias were behind the dudes flying the planes–the joos knew what was going to happen so they placed all the charges on the buildings-the 1st responders are getting pissed–lots are dying lately–they want justice–so now you now why trump cozys up to the joos–jooruesulem,embassy,etc..trump has always said keep your friends close and all your enemies closer, hence all the upheaval in his adminstration –he lets them play their cards,same with the joos–you dont think the former mayor of NY does not know all the details on 9/11? he has been very low lately—did you watch those clowns last night on the debate? unreal,very pathetic…

          Well, if there is no prosecution then there is NO law. Beware for a total breakdown of society. And you can blame it on yourselves for NOT demanding it.

          Don’t rely on a gawddamn politician to uphold the law. He wants to tear it down, but FIRST disarmament of its citizens like the mentally-ill Beto.

          He just can’t wait to ARREST all white man then let all your women and children be WAPED by the Chinese. :twisted:

    • GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN

      I did an article at the time and found that the Secret Service and the C.I.A. had offices in WTC 7 and they had an ongoing investigation on the New York banking system J P morgan as I recall for fraud and money Laundering. I also found this. Either way it was demolished to hide some crime that was being investigated.

      Some people argue that the US government had to demolish Tower 7 because it is where plans were hatched for a massive conspiracy on 9/11 and even that the hijacked planes were guided to their targets from Tower 7. Others believe the government also wanted to destroy key files held there about corporate fraud.

      After its collapse a CIA team is reported to have scoured the rubble looking for secret documents.

        Get Out,
        I remember your article. I commented something like – They can the table on Gin Rummy on 911. It’s funny that we really do have to watch what we say or we get attacked from Israeli thugs making sure our posts get buried or ignored.
        On another site they even threatened me that they would remember my post and what I said against their THUG leader.
        7/7/2005 Israeli leader was there to watch a training exercise on terrorist attack on the London subway that SoMeHoW wEnT LiVe and blew up, killing and injuring quite a few… His lucky day, ay?
        Iceland is looking like a good place to refugee to when the shit hits the fan. And, They just outlawed baby boy Circumcisions too.
        The ADL is now going to try to disrupt their tourism… BDS them assholes…
