Thank you for at least reading the articles. I am surprised that others here have not heard of this and think I am promoting some hairbrained or worse, racist, propaganda. I heard about it on mainstream news on TV and then in the mainstream LA Times. After they cited the LA Weekly I went back to check out the original articles. Around the same time the FBI whistleblowers came forth - which I also saw on TV and read about in the LA Times. Shortly thereafter, (sometime in August, I think) a bipartisan committee in Congress said they would do further investigation. Anne mentioned she had learned of the McNichol's ties to Ramzi Yousef, who was convicted for masterming the WTC '93 bombing. This is also discussed in the articles. A pretty big tie. The shopkeepers I go to almost everyday and my auto mechanic are Arab muslims. The first time I saw them all after 9/11 I choked up crying, thinking what prejudice they might have to deal with. They have been very strong and brave, showing kindness always and no bitterness. Kakki
