Personally, I think that if the Bush administration, were to extradite General Ahmad of the ISI, who is believed to have given directions to Khaled Sheik Mohammed to wire $100,000 to Mohammed Atta, the general would simply tell the FBI interrogators that the ISI arranged for Atta to receive the money at the request of someone in the Bush administration, Rumsfeld, Cheney, take your pick.
That would prove that 911 was an inside job. QED.
That also answers the very amusing question, "Why has there been no attempt to extradite General Ahmad, the only universally acknowledged and accessible perpetrator in the 911 scenario?"
.... because it's the truth.

Yeah. Too bad Richard Armitrage worked for the State Department as a Deputy SecState and has no record of ever working at/for CIA.
Throughout the 90's Armitage was an ambassador to Europe with a specialty in former Soviet states, spent a few years in the private sector as a businessman and working for W's election in the late 90's.
He moved on to the State Department in 2001.
I don't know if your claim (above) of his being in the CIA is just sloppy story-telling or wishful thinking, but he never worked for the CIA.
Nor did PNAC whiz kids Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld and Kahililzad, with all their self-appointed "war wisdom," anticipate the problem of fighting foreign insurgencies, one reason why Iraq became a quagmire.
Other PNAC signatories still in the Bush 43 Administration
Elliott Abrams, Representative for Middle Eastern Affairs
John Bolton, former U.N. Ambassador
Seth Cropsey, Director of Voice of America
Paula Dobriansky, Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs
Bruce Jackson, U.S. Committee on NATO
Peter Rodman, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intl. Security
Randy Scheunemann, DOD advisor to Secretary Rumsfeld
Robert Zoelick, Deputy Secretary of State
PNAC signatories formerly in the Bush 43 Administration

Thanks for keeping me honest. It was sloppy storytelling for certain. It was hella late when I posted that.

He served on a destroyer stationed off the coast of Vietnam during the Vietnam War before volunteering to serve what would eventually become three combat tours with the riverine/advisory forces for the South Vietnamese navy.[1]
According to Captain Kiem Do, a Republic of Vietnam Navy officer who served with him in Vietnam, Armitage "seemed drawn like a 'moth to flame' to the hotspots of the naval war: bedding down on the ground with Vietnamese commandos, sharing their rations and hot sauce, telling jokes in flawless Vietnamese."[2] Instead of a uniform, Armitage often dressed in native garb, and was nicknamed "Tran Van Phu" by the Vietnamese.[2]
Several associates who fought alongside Armitage and other politicians (including Ted Shackley)[3] have since said publicly that Armitage was associated with the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) highly controversial and clandestine Phoenix Program.[3] Armitage has since denied a role in Phoenix and has stated that - at most - CIA officers would occasionally ask him for intelligence reports.[4]
In 1973, Armitage left active duty and joined the office of the U.S. Defense Attache in Saigon. Immediately prior to the fall of Saigon, he organized and led the removal of South Vietnamese naval assets and personnel from the country and out of the hands of the approaching North Vietnamese. Armitage told South Vietnamese naval officers to take their ships to a designated place in the ocean where they would be rescued by U.S. forces and the ships destroyed. When Armitage arrived at the designated location he found over 20,000 South Vietnamese clinging to less than three dozen naval boats without food or water.[5] With transportation options limited for removing the floating city, Armitage personally decided to sail the flotilla of ships over 1000 miles to Subic Bay, Philippines in 1975 against the wishes of both the Philippine and American governments. Armitage personally arranged for food and water to be delivered by the U.S. Defense Department before negotiating with both governments for permission to dock in Subic Bay.[1][5]

ROFLMAO So the point is that a Pakistani Muslim is blaming Jews and Americans for something bad again? And I should care about this morons words because?
The 911 Hijackers got money from the ISI before 911, probably from the CIA but that is beside the point.
I already know who did 911 and I don't need this Paki telling me about it unless it's a CONFESSION. This appears another attempt by the PTB to make 911 truthers look bad... If you believe that Americans were behind 911 you are now going to be linked to Pakistan and it's terror record, thereby guilt by association.
This guy is a CIA stooge!

And I would bet until Dick Cheney authorized the outing of Valerie Plame, she wouldn't have had a record of working for the CIA either.

Armitage may not have been on the CIA payroll but if he wasn't on the ONI payroll, I would be shocked.
The Pakistan government has blocked a resolution moved in the UN Security Council for imposing sanctions against former Inter-Services-Intelligence chief retired Lieutenant General Hamid Gul over his alleged links with al-Qaeda and Taliban [Images], Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani [Images] said on Wednesday.
If any action is to be taken against Gul, it will be done under the Pakistani law, Gilani told reporters in his hometown
of Multan.
"Soon after our government was formed, a resolution was moved in the Security Council but we got it put on hold," Gilani said.
Gul is a Pakistani citizen and he would not be handed over to the US, Gilani said. The resolution was never discussed and further steps would be taken by Pakistan if it was "no longer on hold", he added.
Gul, who served as chief of the ISI during 1987-89, has offered to "present himself for inquisition" before a UN
commission to clear himself of charges that he has links to al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
