Demand Retraction from the Sarasota Herald Tribune
Full story at

I am urging everyone who read this to demand an answer from the
Sarasota Herald Tribune to the following question:
How much heroin would Mohamed Atta's flight school owner's plane
have had to be carrying before the Sarasota Herald Tribune deemed
it worthy of mention?
For at least the past three years, news accounts published in the
MadCowMorningNews and in my book "Welcome to TERRORLAND" have
asserted that while he was in Venice and Southwest Florida, several
of terrorist ringleader Mohamed Atta's closest associates were,
surprisingly, not Arab nationals, but German or Swiss, through
evidence developed from interviews with Amanda Keller, Mohamed
Atta's erstwhile american girlfriend.
Today the Associated Press is reporting that the FBI has a terror
alert in the South Pacific for one of these men, Wolfgang
Bohringer, a German pilot with whom Atta was "inseparable" during
his frequent visits to Southwest Florida.
It is Amanda Keller, an eyewitness the Sarasota Herald Tribune has
gone to great lengths to discredit, who lived for several months
with terrorist ringleader Mohamed Atta at the Sandpiper apartments
in Venice— despite what amounts to a campaign by the Sarasota
Herald Tribune to deny it—who ultimately deserves the credit for
identifying Bohringer as an individual who may pose a serious
threat to this country.
In recent denigrating, demeaning, and most of all UNTRUE stories
about the terrorist presence which flourished in the Sarasota
Herald Tribune local coverage area, the newspaper, which is owned
by the New York Times, has repeatedly referred to me, insultingly,
as a "conspiracy theorist," which might come as a shock to the New
York Time's own eminent and august William Safire, who for the past
few years has been receiving, at his own request, notices on our
latest stories as soon as they appear.
Through the simple expedient of interviewing eyewitnesses who were
there, and then verifying their accounts, I have identified at
least a hand-ful of previously unknown individuals who were
involved with the terrorist conspiracy in Florida.
The result is a portrait of the terrorists which is much different,
and far more accurate, than that which has been presented to the
American people so far.
The Sarasota Herald Tribune has, so far, identified none.
So the truth is that, instead of being a "conspiracy theorist," I
am a better investigative reporter than the entire staff of the
Sarasota Herald Tribune…combined.
WHY NO REPORT OF FLIGHT SCHOOL OWNERS HEROIN BUST?
Finally, the Sarasota Herald Tribune has yet to report—more than
five years later—the fact, not conspiracy theory, but fact, that
during the same month Mohamed Atta arrived to attend his flight
school in Venice, Huffman Aviation, the owner of that flight
school, Wallace J. Hilliard, had his Lear jet confiscated on a
runway at Orlando Executive Airport by DEA agents who found 43
pound of heroin onboard.
It was, said the Orlando Sentinel, the "biggest drug bust in
Central Florida history," which is a distinction that I'm sure the
editors of the Sarasota Herald Tribune appreciate was gained
against formidable competition.
I am urging everyone who read this to demand an answer from the
Sarasota Herald Tribune to the following question:
How much heroin would Mohamed Atta's flight school owner's plane
have had to be carrying before the Sarasota Herald Tribune deemed
it worthy of mention?
If you agree with this demand for retraction, as well as a demand
that this New York Times-owned newspaper begin to accurately inform
the citizens of this country the real news of what happens every
day in its coverage area, please take a moment and email the
individuals whose emails are listed below.
