"I have identified a naturalized American citizen, a German pilot by the name of Wolfgang Borenger, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia today, who attended meetings with Muhammed Atta in the year before the attack, in which the attacks may well have been discussed ... I think I'm gonna go down in history for this".
The Flying Club of Munich - Wolfgang Borenger

The program begins with discussion of forthcoming new editions of both of Daniel’s books—Barry and the Boys and Welcome to Terrorland. Both volumes will contain supplemental information not contained in the original editions. Mr. Emory then notes that there are significant elements of continuity that run throughout both of Daniel’s books and many of his articles. As we saw in FTR#’s 482, 483, 484, the milieu in Florida in which Mohamed Atta and company operated has many evidentiary tributaries running in the direction of the Iran-Contra scandal and the epic drug-smuggling that accompanied that operation. That is the milieu of Barry Seal, the focal point of Barry and the Boys.
Future programs will feature discussion of some of the evidentiary tributaries running between Daniel’s books and some of his articles on the overlapping GOP scandals involving Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff and Randy “Duke” Cunningham.
Daniel mentioned that the new edition of Welcome to Terrorland will contain a considerable amount of information from Mark Shubin, a former U-2 pilot who was part of the aeronautical milieu around Venice (Florida).
2. Much of the first side of the program involves developments in a lawsuit the Daniel has been fighting. Filed by Stephan Verhaaren—one of the Germans, Austrians and Swiss with whom Atta associated in Florida--the suit featured an interesting deposition about Wolfgang Bohringer. Discussed briefly in FTR#477, Bohringer was one of the German associates of Atta, and may have been involved in some of the planning for the event. In his deposition, Verhaaren corroborated a key detail about the circumstances surrounding Bohringer’s entry into the United States. Amanda Keller—Atta’s girlfriend in Florida—mentioned to Daniel that Bohringer won his green card in a lottery. Verhaaren corroborated this detail. In the discussion of the green card lottery, both Daniel and Mr. Emory mention that they had never heard of a green card lottery. Subsequently, a number of listeners helpfully mentioned that such lotteries are not uncommon in other countries.
3. Discussing Bohringer’s background, Daniel mentions that Bohringer was part of an organization called the Flying Club of Munich, which is controlled by his father. (FTR#477 contains a brief mention of the Flying Club of Munich.) Discussing that organization, Mr. Emory notes that many neo-Nazi organizations in postwar Germany represent themselves as clubs or civic organizations of some kind in order to hide their true nature. Mr. Emory cites the Sportgroup Hoffman, a neo-Nazi organization that was active in the Middle East and worked with Arab and Palestinian terrorists. (For more about the Sportgroup Hoffman, see FTR#333.) Discussing Bohringer’s father, Daniel mentions that he owns a taxicab company in Munich, an interesting detail in light of the liberal use made of cabs by Atta and company in their South Florida operations. Mr. Emory notes that owning aircraft and cabs would facilitate any number of clandestine activities, including drug and arms smuggling. Apparently, Bohringer’s father is quite wealthy and powerful. The possibility that he may be associated with the Bormann capital network is not one to be too readily dismissed.
