In the interview, Sibel says that the US maintained 'intimate relations' with Bin Laden, and the Taliban, "all the way until that day of September 11."
These 'intimate relations' included using Bin Laden for 'operations' in Central Asia, including Xinjiang, China. These 'operations' involved using al Qaeda and the Taliban in the same manner "as we did during the Afghan and Soviet conflict," that is, fighting 'enemies' via proxies.
In 1986, bin Laden brought heavy construction equipment from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan. Using his extensive knowledge of construction techniques (he has a degree in civil engineering), he built “training camps”, some dug deep into the sides of mountains, and built roads to reach them.
These camps, now dubbed “terrorist universities” by Washington, were built in collaboration with the ISI and the CIA. The Afghan contra fighters, including the tens of thousands of mercenaries recruited and paid for by bin Laden, were armed by the CIA. Pakistan, the US and Britain provided military trainers.

- My personal favorite damning piece of evidence. As John Lear has mentioned in the past, It would have been impossible for novice pilots to hit that tower. That was an incredible piece of airmanship requiring several hundred hours of simulator time and it happened not once but twice.

Many have been saying this for a long time now and it seems some of this is coming to light.
I have no doubt that planes were flown into the towers that day, I also have no doubt that some people knew about it, let it happen, and wanted it to happen.
They wanted it to happen so much that they filled up wtc7 with thermite and brought it down to cover their tracks after the twin towers fell.

bin Laden family

Office building of the bin Laden familyThe bin Laden family (Arabic: بن لادن), also spelled bin Ladin is a wealthy family intimately connected with the innermost circles of the Saudi royal family. The family was thrown into media spotlight through the activities of one of its members, Osama bin Laden. The financial interests of the bin Laden family are represented by the Saudi Binladin Group, a global construction and equity management conglomerate grossing $5 billion U.S. dollars annually, and one of the largest construction firms in the Islamic world, with offices in London and Geneva. According to an American diplomat, the bin Laden family also owns part of Microsoft and Boeing.[1]

You are right, your post was first, so here are my awnsers that i posted on the other thread.
to the claim by some member who said that because the Bush administration had to fly out some of the Bin Laden family out of the U.S. after 9/11 I responded with the following.
"The Bush administration protected some of the Bin Laden family because some of them ARE AMERICANS and, or have been living in the U.S. for a long while, and they live a western lifestyle and LOVE it. The Bin Laden family disowned Osama a long time ago.
If people knew about those members of the Bin Laden family that live/lived in the U.S. there would have been retaliation by some Americans possibly injuring or even killing these people. This sort of thing has happened in the past.
One of those "evil Bin Ladens" is Bin Laden's niece, who lives, or lived, in the U.S. and studied here....
The entire Bin Laden family is not responsible for what Osama did.
Why is it that some people want to believe because there is a black sheep in a family "everyone in that family must be evil too"?... "
