1. The German government leaked that it was people

associated with the CIA like Buzz Krongrad.

2. It is one of those things it's better not to ask about

The answer is unlikely to give you comfort.

6. It's like this....

There was a claim that OBL had a copy of the PROMIS software that the FBI or perhaps the CIA uses to track stock trading trends in realtime... perhaps they both use it.... not sure...

>>There is a sharp increase in short selling of the stocks of American and United airlines on the New York Stock Exchange prior to 9/11. A short sell is a bet that a particular stock will drop. There is an increase of 40 percent of short selling over the previous month for these two airlines, compared to an 11 percent increase for other big airlines and one percent for the exchange overall. A significant profit was to be made: United stock dropped 43 percent and American dropped 39 percent the first day the market reopened after the attack (see also September 6-10, 2001). Short selling of Munich Re, the world's largest reinsurer, is also later noted by German investigators.<<
