According to you. Which means absolutely nothing, as we've seen time and time again.

Here's another Israeli source with an attempt to get their facts right:
Israel National News, October 26, 2001:
"Five young Israelis are "on the verge of collapse," according to family members, as their incarceration in New York on charges relating to the Bin Laden attacks continues. They were arrested on Sept. 11, only hours after the World Trade Center attack, on charges of "plotting to blow up" a New York bridge.
Oh, I see -- you trust the Israeli news article about the dancing Israelis being arrested on charges of "plotting to blow up" a New York bridge, but not the Israeli news article that quotes a U.S. Army Radio report that police found a van full of explosives. You seem to be quite selective in your acceptance of some news reports, but not others.
So tell us -- why do you think the dancing Israelis were arrested for "plotting to blow up" the George Washington Bridge?

But mmiichael, you failed to answer my question, so I'll ask it again:
So tell us -- why do you think the dancing Israelis were arrested and held incommunicado -- including being tied up without food or clothes and given "multiple polygraphs" -- for 71 days in an "FBI dungeon" on charges of "plotting to blow up" the George Washington Bridge? Immigration violations?

Four Israelis arrested in the United States on September 11, 2001, have filed a multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit in the US District Court in New York against United States Attorney-General John Ashcroft and wardens of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
The suit, filed Monday, alleges that their two-month detention was illegal and that during that time they were physically abused and their civil rights were violated.
The Attorney General's Office said it would only comment on the case in court.
According to their Israeli attorney, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, Israelis Yaron Shmuel, Omer Gavriel Marmari, and Silvan and Paul Kurzberg were working for a New Jersey moving company when their truck was stopped by police near the George Washington Bridge. Upon seeing that they held foreign driver's licenses, the officer arrested them as suspects in the September 11 attack.
"The four plaintiffs claim that they were held incommunicado without access to attorneys or family, subjected to rough interrogations, physically assaulted, deprived of sleep and subjected to racist taunting by guards," said Darshan-Leitner.
In the post-September 11 panic, their basic rights were ignored even though they signed papers agreeing to immediate deportation and had plane tickets, said New York attorney Robert Tolchin. According to the complaint, some 1,200 men from the Middle East, South Asia and elsewhere who were not US citizens and who appeared to be Arab or Muslim were held on suspicion of being terrorist.
Their detention was "often based on vague suspicions rooted in racial, religious, ethnic, and/or national origin stereotypes rather than in hard facts," according to the complaint. Non-Muslim or non-Israeli detainees were not treated so harshly.
"They were never charged with a crime, they were detained so that the FBI could investigate whether maybe they had done something," said Tolchin.
Four pages of the complaint list the abuses the four Israelis suffered in detention, including failure to be provided with adequate food, medical attention and toiletries. They were held in solitary confinement and denied religious expression.
"Plaintiffs were disciplined for attempting to pray in their cells. Plaintiff Yaron Shmuel was forced out of his cell, thrown against walls and placed in a cell without a mattress, sheets or blanket as a punishment for having prayed out loud," alleged the complaint.
"One of the defendant guards told the plaintiff Yaron Shmuel that he should commit suicide because 'we need to kill all the Jews.'
"The plaintiffs were often beaten by the defendant guards, including cuffing hands behind the plaintiff's backs, twisting arms, kicks to the ribs, and sitting on the plaintiffs while they lay on a metal bed," alleged the complaint.
"The plaintiffs were subjected to a game that the defendant guards called 'Ping Pong,' in which the guards would throw inmates between each other and against walls."
In this case, "the abuse started from the top," said Tolchin.
The suit blames Ashcroft for authorizing and condoning "the unreasonable and excessively harsh conditions under which the plaintiffs were detained" in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
According to the suit, the four should not have been held because Israel is a close ally of the United States. "As Israelis and as Jews, plaintiffs themselves are sworn enemies of al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden."

Paul Kurzberg, an Israeli from Pardess Hanna, was in the office of his New Jersey moving company on Sept. 11, 2001, when the first plane hit the World Trade Center.
Like many Israeli movers in the New York area, Kurzberg, who was in his late 20s, was not legally authorized to work in the United States.
But on Sept. 11, that thought was distant from his mind as he and his friends piled into a company van after the second plane hit the World Trade Center to find a better vantage point to photograph the historic terrorist attack.
It proved to be a critical mistake.
Caught in a traffic jam near the George Washington Bridge, which connects northern New Jersey to Manhattan, the Israelis hailed a police officer to ask directions to Brooklyn. The cops pulled the five Israelis from the vehicle, drew their guns and ordered the men to lie on the ground, according to the Israelis’ account.
It was the beginning of a nearly two-month ordeal, the Israelis said, that landed them first in a local jail and then in solitary confinement in a Brooklyn prison, subjected them to physical and verbal abuse and ended in their deportation to Israel.
Now four of the Israelis are suing, demanding justice and compensation in a lawsuit filed Monday, Sept. 13, against U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI Director Robert Mueller, the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and a host of wardens, police officers and corrections officers involved in their arrest and imprisonment.
“The infamous arrest of these young Israelis on 9/11 has been used by anti-Semites worldwide as ‘proof’ of Israel’s involvement in the World Trade Center attack,” said Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, the Israeli lawyer representing the four Israeli plaintiffs.
“Our clients are seeking compensation for the harm they suffered in the Metropolitan Detention Center by prison officials,” she said.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, alleges that the Israelis were arrested without probable cause; subjected to harsh and unreasonable conditions; penalized for trying to observe Jewish traditions and were held far longer than necessary.

I see you've returned to quoting your old government disinfo website, 911Myths.com
I also see that you're monitoring this thread 24/7 -- almost like it's your job. Are you also monitoring and responding to the numerous other '9/11 was an inside job' threads on ATS? Just in case you aren't, the evidence is WAY beyond overwhelming.
BTW, you never responded to my question -- where did the FBI admit that they made a "mistake"?

It's embarrassing responding to someone who can't understand something restated, and keeps supplying Sept 12 2001 dated info. As I related in two previous messages, it is acknowledged there were numerous incorrect and premature reporting errors from that day. Truther sites live on misreports.

Hey fool, speaking of embarrassing, instead of endlessly running your mouth about topics you know NOTHING about, why don't you read an interview with the official FEMA videographer who spent a MONTH at Ground Zero?
9/11 FEMA videographer at Ground Zero goes public
Kurt Sonnenfeld was the only videographer, who was allowed to film at Ground Zero in New York. He was working for the FEMA.

How did this heroin-using wife-murderer ever get a job with the U.S. government anyway? And how is it that FEMA sent him to Ground Zero BEFORE the second plane hit the towers when they couldn't coordinate getting water to Hurricane Katrina victims in 10 days?
As a know-it-all Canadian 9/11 researcher and official defender of the neocons, I'm sure you've got a ready-made excuse for that too.
BTW, why don't you show us JUST ONE picture of "Flight 77" anywhere near the Pentagon?
It STILL doesn't exist? Why not?

Operation Northwoods
US PLANNED FAKE TERROR ATTACKS ON CITIZENS TO CREATE SUPPORT FOR CUBAN WAR
From BODY OF SECRETS, James Bamford, Doubleday, 2001, p.82 and following:
According to secret and long-hidden documents obtained for Body of Secrets, the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. In the name of anti-Communism, they proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba.
Code named Operation Northwoods, the plan, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war.
