Who is Williams? What Nationality?
In New Jersey, the FBI on Wednesday searched the Marriott hotel at Newark Airport, where some or all of the four hijackers of United Airlines flight 93 were believed to have stayed on Monday night. The plane is the one that crashed in western Pennsylvania. It was that flight where either passengers or crew members downed the plane rather than become a cruise missile. But here was an interesting aside, reported once then never looked at again.
Curiously, given that all the suspected hijackers had Arab names, one guest at the hotel, who asked not to be named, said in an interview that during the search, the FBI agents asked each man they encountered, “Are you Williams?”

It does not seem significant to anyone that the Vero Beach, Florida Flight School and others interviewed as well, have no record of these individuals attending the schools; those which had attended the school and were Saudi citizens, have been absolved of involvement because their names were similar and/or they were alive and in Saudi Arabia. Even if it could be concluded that a couple (as in maybe two) of the hijackers had attended a U.S. Flight School (and this has not been conclusive) it would have likely been to polish-up skills they already possessed. Why do U.S. authorities refuse to seek out the obvious: these pilots were already trained, well-trained. By whom? Since we cannot prove conclusively that the men identified were not German, or English, but only looked this way or that, said they were this or that, any other nation-state could as easily be part of this. And this is not just my suspicion. It was reported once, only once and never repeated again:
It was uncertain whether the 19 names of the hijackers put out by officials today were the true names of the hijackers. The names were apparently those used by the men when they purchased airline tickets, but it was unclear whether they might have used aliases, stolen identities or forged documents.

Which of course becomes the only explanation as to why the perpetrators would have openly (and stupidly) purchased tickets on the Internet using their accrued Mileage or with credit cards. It was not “their” credit cards, nor their Mileage, as it was not really them in whose names they were purchased. This level of tactical skill and planning falls comfortably into nation-state military intelligence levels but hardly bin Laden’s. These individuals’ Passports were, by and large, not out-of-status with immigration authorities and only a few were even said to have been. In other words, these individuals were “clean” and could travel freely. Precisely the case if they were military personnel traveling under false identities (washed) and under “orders” in behalf of their nation-state authorities. Under orders; by whom then becomes the real question. It is the blind assumption that these were all followers of bin Laden, with laser-like focus and determination, that the FBI and White House refuse to tell the American people to prepare for a protracted war, not with terrorists, but with trained professional military and intelligence personnel from one or more nation’s military and Air Force.
Another fact surfaced that was reported twice then never broached again. A Senior White House aide told New York Times reporter and later reported in William Safire’s column, that Secret Service was contacted and told that Air Force One had been targeted next.
According to the high official, American code words were used showing a knowledge of procedures that made the threat credible....(I have a second, on-the-record source about that: Karl Rove, the president’s senior advisor, tells me: “When the president said ‘I don’t want some tinhorn terrorists keeping me out of Washington,’ the Secret Service informed him that the threat contained language that was evidence that the terrorists had knowledge of his procedures and whereabouts. In light of the specific and credible threat, it was decided to get airborne with a fighter escort.”).

No responsible thinking person believes bin Laden, nor any other terrorists, could have come by such tightly held security data. The military intelligence (spy agencies) of any nation-state, on the other hand, performs precisely such operations. Here is a report from CNN.com. that explained why this “New war (is) to be fought with unprecedented secrecy...the Bush administration has decided to clamp down on even routine information because it could prove of some use to potential terrorists.” The report spells this out in the Pentagon’s own words and one doubts the sincerity of Bush‘s claims. But if he were worried about nation state intelligence capabilities, which we believe is the case, then the clamp down makes sense.
