Rewards for Justice 25 million for info about 911 hijackers BBC News should go for it!

Catch a terrorist - Collect maybe 25 million bucks! Oh sure we believe we regular people who just happen upon a terrorist in our little circle of friends won't then become the subject of an investigation.

Interrogator dripping glacier-cold water over your blindfolded eyes:

You love/hate the United States of America.

You lo/hate the United States of America.

You hate the United States of America.


Fox n' Friends this morning (Thursday, December 7, 2006) interviewed an official who spoke about the rewards for justice program...

http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/english/index.cfm?page=Mission

The spokesman mentioned the website for the agency's program. We visited and found.

Continuing Mission:

On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners. Two of these were used to to attack the New York World Trade Center Twin Towers and one was used to attack the Pentagon.

The fourth airliner crashed into a field near Shanksville, PA. The death toll on the four airliners was 266 people. The death toll at the Pentagon is approximately 189 military and civilian personnel and the death toll in New York is approximately 3,000 people.

The first flight, American Airlines Flight 11, smashed into the north tower of the Twin Towers at 8:45a.m.

The second flight, United Airlines Flight 175, crashed into the south tower at 9:05a.m.

The Pentagon was hit by American Airlines Flight 77 at 9:39a.m.

American Airlines Flight 93 crashed before it reached its intended target.


The reward for information about the September 11th attacks is up to $25 million...

The site links to FBI photographs of the FBI named hijackers of four commercial airliners on September 11, 2001

But the site doesn't note several of the named persons have reportedly been claimed to be alive and continue to be claimed to be alive?

So, let's suppose somebody produces one of the named/photographed 9/11 hijackers as being alive and well. Will they get the 25 million bucks?

The FBI doesn't refute and settle reported claims, made within two articles published by the BBC News and entitled:

Hijack 'suspect' alive in Morocco By David Bamford


Sunday, 23 September, 2001, 12:30 GMT 13:30 UK:

Hijack 'suspects' alive and well


Wouldn't it be interesting if these persons who were reported as being alive (now some five years later) were videotaped alive - displayed on streaming video and youtube - and then this matter could be settled once and for all. (maybe even somebody would get the $25 million.)

Should the same face of a 9/11 hijacker appear on video as alive and well, this would be the jolt felt round the world, wouldn't it?

Hey, but the video would have to be verified as a real and authentic video, not a fake, and not containing somebody dressed up and made-up to look like a 9/11 hijacker as named, identified and photographed for FBI files.

Maybe some blood analysis DNA forensics could also be utilized to compare the 'alive' and 'well' person to the reported as deceased 9/11 hijacker. Maybe there are twins of the deceased 9/11 hijackers out there. You never know, maybe there are clones.

The Rewards for Justice program was a featured segment on Fox 'n Friends just this morning, (Thursday, December 7, 2006) and the names and faces of persons posted to the official Rewards for Justice site are not just purported to be the 9/11 hijackers, but portrayed as the only ones responsible for 9/11.

Yet, there is still room for doubt.

Truly, there is still room for doubt that

the FBI named and pictured the actual persons responsible for 9/11

the FBI named-and-pictured persons the FBI claims are responsible for 9/11 are dead

the FBI named-and-pictured persons the FBI claims are responsible for 9/11 are alive

Why does this puzzlement arise now?

We've found an October 27, 2006 blogged BBC News editorial entitled:

9/11 conspiracy theory by Steve Herrmann http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2006/10/911_conspiracy_theory_1.html

The Herrmann editorial refers to the original BBC News article Hijack 'suspects' alive and well September 23, 2001 .

The editorial says the September 23, 2001 story has been "cited ever since by some as evidence that the 9/11 attacks were part of a US government conspiracy..."

well of course the article has been cited as evidence the 9/11 attacks were part of a US government conspiracy. If 9/11 hijack suspects are alive and well, the FBI's list that includes the alive suspect is bogus.

What did the BBC News expect? Maybe, they knew precisely what to expect.

The editorial further notes BBC News made an alteration in a caption referring to one of the hijack suspects.

The rest of the article was left intact in the archive. (Better copy it people, before it disappears.)

The editorial includes a statement that the BBC News "later reported on the list of hijackers, thereby superseding the earlier report..."

The link leads to this piece:

Date: Friday, 5 October, 2001, 15:10 GMT 16:10 UK
The investigation and the evidence


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1581063.stm

And that story links to the FBI generated list...

Friday, 28 September, 2001, 03:08 GMT 04:08 UK The hijack suspects

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation has released the photos of the suspected hijackers of the four planes seized on 11 September


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1567815.stm

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1581063.stm

Note however that the Steve Herrmann editorial does not retract the headline of the September 23, 2001 article: Hijack 'suspects' alive and well.

Nothing in the editorial emphatically retracts the material presented in the original article, in fact.

The editorial makes the commentary: "The confusion over names and identities we reported back in 2001 may have arisen because these were common Arabic and Islamic names."

Huh. So what if there was confusion over names - there were actual FBI photographs - in fact, apparently, BBC News used the FBI photographs of named hijack 'suspects' and of in particular - Waleed Al Shehri.

And having seen the photographs - the persons so named - as noted in both the September 22, 2001 and the September 23, 2001 articles - said - that's me - and I am alive, right?

Or not right? Herrmann in the editorial notes the Waleed Al Shehri caption under the FBI photograph was changed to "a man called Waleed Al Shehri"

So what does using "a man called" accomplish if the rest of the archived story remains intact as it was originally published, without a clarification that the so-named hijack suspect/s mentioned in the article are not alive?

The Herrmann editorial accomplishes only more confusion. Maybe that's the intention.

Note the wording of the commentary again:

"The confusion over names and identities we reported back in 2001 may have arisen because these were common Arabic and Islamic names."

Herrmann's editorial attempts to portray the entire hijack 'suspects' alive and well article itself as one that at the time is reporting on the confusion over names/identities - FBI confusion - but that simply doesn't hold up for this reason.

By using the technique of a single quotation mark ('), the headline places emphasis on 'suspects' and the headline reads:

Hijack 'suspects' alive and well

With the emphasis on the word 'suspects,' the reader is led to think this way:

those persons named as suspects are ha ha not suspects

precisely because the rest of the headline reads:

alive and well.

If there were confusion over whether the suspects were alive and well, the emphasis in the headline would have read like this:

Hijack suspects 'alive and well'

If there were an intention to portray some question about the suspects being dead, on the other hand, the headline would read like this:

Hijack 'suspects' alive and well

If the headline wanted to capture and announce FBI confusion and doubt about the suspects names/identities/photographs the headline would have read like this:

Hijack suspects?

Consider also, why choose a headline such as Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
when other headlines would have clarified the piece was about confusion and doubt - specifically, FBI doubt.

For instance: Hijack Identities Under Scrutiny or Hijack Identities Under Doubt or FBI admits doubt or simply Doubt

Anything would have been better than the headline Hijack 'suspects' alive and well as that headline visually leads the reader to conclude the Hijack suspects as so named by the FBI are alive and well.

Five years later, the question remains: are the so-named and photographed suspects 'alive and well?'.

With the change of the caption under the FBI photograph, BBC News is hinting - five years later by the way - the FBI may not have gotten the name of the person in the photograph correct.

To further add to confusion, Herrmann notes in the editorial that the FBI stands by its released photographs of the 9/11 hijackers and identities of those depicted.

The earlier BBC News story link follows with excerpts. Note: With the Herrmann editorial, let me express again, the BBC News has NOT RETRACTED anything in the body of its own referenced September 23, 2001 story Hijack 'suspects' alive and well.

Read the editorial closely.

Pay particular attention to the lead sentence.

BBC News Hijack 'suspects' alive and well

Sunday, 23 September, 2001, 12:30 GMT 13:30 UK
Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well.

The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt.

Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.
His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world.

Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.

He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco when they happened. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities, according to Saudi press reports.

He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring.

But, he says, he left the United States in September last year, became a pilot with Saudi Arabian airlines and is currently on a further training course in Morocco.

Mistaken identity

Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects, has also been quoted in Arab news reports.

He says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver.

Another man with exactly the same name surfaced on the pages of the English-language Arab News.

The second Abdulaziz Al Omari is a pilot for Saudi Arabian Airlines, the report says.

Meanwhile, Asharq Al Awsat newspaper, a London-based Arabic daily, says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi.

He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania.

And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive.

FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.

If the BBC News according to its September 23, 2001 report (which it has not retracted as being wholly inaccurate) has information of the whereabouts of any of the depicted, it is injustice to all who died on September 11, 2001 to suppress such information five years, ten years, later.

Likewise, if BBC News - by changing the caption underneath an FBI photograph of what the FBI says is a 9/11 hijacker - doesn't believe the FBI got the names/identities/photographs of all of the hijackers correct, the BBC News should make a statement to that effect.

Excerpt:
Saturday, 22 September, 2001, 20:41 GMT 21:41 UK
Hijack 'suspect' alive in Morocco

By David Bamford

in Rabat
A Saudi-Arabian aircraft pilot who was named as one of five suspects on board one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Centre, has turned up alive and well in Morocco.

The man, Waleed Al-Shehri, has told Saudi journalists in Casablanca that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco at the time...

continued...

One of those five names was Waleed Al-Shehri, a Saudi pilot who had trained in the United States.

His photograph was released by the FBI, and has been shown in newspapers and on television around the world.

That same Mr Al-Shehri has turned up in Morocco, proving clearly that he was not a member of the suicide attack.

He told Saudi journalists in Casablanca that he has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities to advise them that he had nothing to do with the attack.

He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Dayton Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al-Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring.

Confusion

But, he says, he left the United States in September last year, and became a pilot with Saudi Arabian Airlines, and is currently on a further training course in Morocco.

He says he was in Marrekesh when the attack took place.

Mr Al-Shehri's case is not the first in which there has been apparent confusion as to the identities of the hijackers who commandeered the four planes on 11 September.

Mr Al-Shehri said he has now been interviewed by the American authorities, who apologised for the misunderstanding.


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1558669.stm

Read the foregoing again. the BBC News does not put this in quotations, rather the statement attributed to Mr Al-Shehri is paraphrased:

Mr Al-Shehri said he has now been interviewed by the American authorities, who apologised for the misunderstanding.

Resources and links can be found at This is Not a Conspiracy Theory

This is Not a Conspiracy Theory is the result of my research to find out details about the morning of September 11, 2001 and precisely the length of time George W. Bush remained seated in a classroom after learning from Andrew Card that a second plane had crashed into the World Trade Center, and that America was under attack.

Some websites promoted the notion that President Bush remained in the classroom reading a story about a pet goat with the children for 25 minutes. That is inaccurate.

History that is inaccurate is not truth.

Most people simply don't have the time to sort through hundreds of news articles to try to determine the truth of reports. Several of these reports have stated President Bush took immediate action upon learning that America was "under attack."

History that is inaccurate is not history. History that is inaccurate is a lie.

The following is food for thought. Note the different spellings of Alshehri and Alshihri wikipedia uses in the same sentence to identify the father of the brothers.

(Rewards for Justice uses: Flight 11 Waleed Al Shehri a photograph is posted to the site.

wiki pedia

Waleed and Wail were both mistakenly reported to have been found alive and well, by the BBC later in 2001. They were initially reported in error by a Saudi newspaper editor as the sons of Ahmed Alshehri, a senior Saudi diplomat stationed in Bombay, India. On September 16, 2001, the diplomat Ahmed Alshehri denied that he was the father of the two hijackers. Wail claims he did attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida - but was the victim of mistaken identity, since he used that training to secure his current position with a Moroccan airline company. Saudi Arabia has confirmed his story, and suggested he was the victim of identity theft.

Muhammad Ali Al-Shihri, the hijacker al-Shehri brothers' true father, was identified prior to September 17, 2001, and told Arab News that he hadn't heard from his sons in ten months prior to September 2001.[11] An ABC News story in March 2002 repeated this, and during a report entitled "A Saudi Apology" for Dateline NBC on Aug 25 2002, NBC's reporter John Hockenberry traveled to 'Asir, where he interviewed the third brother, Salah, who agreed that his two brothers were dead and claimed they had been "brainwashed".

Furthermore another article explains that the pilot who lives in Casablanca was named Walid al-Shri (not Waleed M. al-Shehri) and that much of the BBC information regarding "alive" hijackers was incorrect according to the same sources used by BBC. [12]

Claims that some of the hijackers are still alive
Initial news reports shortly after 9/11 indicated that some of the hijackers were alive, fueling speculation that others were responsible.

The BBC News reported on September 23, 2001, that some of the people named by the FBI as hijackers, killed on the crashes, were actually alive and well. [91]

One of the hijackers was Waleed al-Shehri, and according to the BBC report he was found in Casablanca, Morocco.

However, the al-Shehri's father says he hadn't heard from his sons in ten months prior to September 2001.[92] An ABC News story in March 2002 repeated this, and during a report entitled "A Saudi Apology" for Dateline NBC on Aug 25, 2002, NBC's reporter John Hockenberry traveled to 'Asir, where he interviewed the third brother Salah who agreed that his two brothers were dead and said they had been "brainwashed".

Furthermore, another article explains that the pilot who lives in Casablanca was named Walid al-Shri (not Waleed M. al-Shehri) and that much of the BBC information regarding "alive" hijackers was incorrect according to the same sources used by BBC.[93]
...

The BBC and The Guardian have since reported that there was evidence al-Mihdhar was still alive and that some of the other hijackers identities were in doubt. This was commented on by FBI director Robert Mueller.[101] Der Spiegel later investigated the claims of "living" hijackers by the BBC and discovered them to be cases of mistaken identities.[25] In 2002, Saudi Arabia admitted that the names of the hijackers were in fact correct.[26] None of the hijackers have turned up alive since the September 11, 2001 attacks.(source?)...
