I found a news story reporting on the AFIP's project
I'd put in an FOIA request for the passenger manifests, but I'm not in the US.

S'okay! Although I was beginning to wonder if my posts were invisible.
Anyway, I was also thinking about making an FOIA request for the passenger lists. Don't know much about the mechanics of that, though (II'm in the UK) so I'm thinking I'll email the FOIA lawyer that Flight77.info are using and ask him what's involved, how much it'll cost. As long as it's not horrendously expensive then that's probably the most effective way to go -- I'll report back when he replies.

I imagine as the data direct from the airline is private and not government information ,it may not be applicable under the act?

That's what I was wondering. But then if the Government have the manifest now then maybe that's enough.
Anyway, I've emailed the FOIA lawyer so hopefully he'll give us a better idea of whether it's possible or not. I'll let you know what he thinks.
(Oh, and anyone can make a request, you don't have to be a US citizen. Although I'd guess arranging things like paying administration fees might get quite complicated, if you're not.)

the original passenger lists released by american to cnn had NO ARABS on ANY flight.
The list includes those listed as "confirmed dead" and "reported dead" by the Associated Press
Those identified by federal authorities as the hijackers are not included

So the CNN lists came from press reports, not American Airlines. And...

Lame? No, I think that's your argument. To claim that the passenger manifests didn't contain the hijackers, for instance, you must a) pretend that the CNN lists are official and direct from the airlines, which they say they're not, and b) you must ignore the fact that CNN specifically say they've left those named as the hijackers out, and c) you must ignore the Boston Globes account of getting manifests which included the hijackers, just as claimed.
Then you have to dodge around these issues whenever anyone brings them up. And finally you've got to hope that no-one notices. Now that really is lame, I think.

i have not dodged anything, i am pointing out discrepencies and inaccuracies in data from different 'official' sources. you'd think i started this thread or something.
agent smith is right when he says the title should say 'no arabs on autopsy report of flight 77'.
maybe if it was my title, i'd call it, "conflicting reports on names and numbers of passengers on flight77", or, "where are the arabs?", or "where is the evidence or proof of arabs on 911?".

I don't think the goverment did 9/11.
WOODS: So they came in ( Woods Referring to the FBI ) And I said, "Look, I'm dying to know, were these the guys? And he said, "Well, we've had 36,000 tips in one day. And there's two of us and we're going to be at your house all this morning. So you can do the math, but we can't tell you." You know, so since then, I have identified for sure two of them as two of the terrorists.
O'REILLY: Really?
WOODS: Who actually were not on Flight 11, but one was on flight 175 and one was on flight 77. And I've been told unofficially, not by the FBI, but by someone else in a -- actually a higher level of government, believe it or not, just through a coincidence, through a mutual friend, that all four of them were terrorists involved.
O'REILLY: That is -- so it was basically a rehearsal, what these guys were doing?
WOODS: Right. But what's significant about this is that it was a rehearsal with four men. And I can't say it as a fact that they were the four, but I've been led to believe without going into the details of how, that they were on different flights. So the notion that they were separate cells when -- and this is tricky territory, but I think in the Moussaoui trial, there's going to be some contention that, you know, he was a soldier and didn't know what was going to happen...
O'REILLY: Right.
WOODS: ...until he stepped on the plane and then decided in a fit of good conscience not to be a terrorist anymore. In fact, the fact that these two people were identified by myself and other people, and were on the Boston-L.A. flight, and ended up dying on two other flights of the four flights on September 11 shows that they were...
O'Reilly either doesn't let Woods finish his statement above, or the interview was edited prior to broadcast, perhaps to eliminate further comments by Woods about how coordinated he believed the hijackers were in advance of the September 11th attacks? In any event Woods never finishes the above sentence during the duration of the interview.

Can you explain how and where this person got these lists and why no-one else, even those who have been investigating it since it happened, have been able to?
I'm not sure what the purpose of your second link is as it seems to back-up claims of Middle Eastern men hijacking the aircraft, as it appears they were conducting a 'dry run' a month before. The article also says that it was confirmed to him that the men were on the 9/11 flights.

Tell me, if I recorded a convincing sounding podcast and distributed through through the Internet making some wild claims, would you believe that too?
