9 Is Not 11

Been through this so many times...the truth lies somewhere far afield from what any US or Pakistani intelligence people claim.
It's a veritable UN of Arab/Islamic coalition that have taken up residence in Pakistan....However, the government cannot verify if Qasab the lone surviving Mumbai terrorist is from Pakistan! Of course they can't, they are well aware that their country has become the staging area. Plus they get all the money they need from the Americans. What a deal!
They look like nice respectable young men...

It's bizarre and has been since a few weeks after 9-11 when Bush administration officials announced they're "certain" al Qaeda did it, just how much of what would seem to be insider information they have about al Qaeda. How might CIA and military intelligence know immediately "that al Qaeda's central leadership has lost significant effectiveness" but not know enough about the rest of the organization to capture or kill them, at the drop of a hat.
