New Details Of 9/11 Conspirators Actions Revealed By Wikileaks

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the United States government, the media and the world became consumed with the whereabouts of anyone who might have been connected to the 9/11 attacks. It was a consumption that paid off when many of the so-called masterminds were captured or killed one by one in the months and years after the attacks. But the details of exactly what many of them were doing with their time and where they were doing it remained a public mystery until now, courtesy, of course, of Wikileaks.

Wikileaks, which has become the scourge of this administration by releasing hundreds of thousands of pages of classified documents, released this latest cache to various news outlets. It included information on almost all of the the 779 individuals who have been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba since 2002. The most fascinating details involve Osama Bin Laden, His deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri and some of the other top Al Qaeda leaders. Some of the highlights (via Washington Post):

- That the top Al Qaeda leaders were planning numerous other attacks in the months after the attacks but decisions about where to attack and who would be involved led to major in-fighting.

- When Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri escaped from Tora Bora in December 2001, Bin Laden was broke and had to borrow $7,000.

- In those first post 9/11 months, Bin Laden traveled by car in Afghanistan, and gave out assignments for fear that he would be captured

- On 9/11 most of the Al Qaeda leaders were in Karachi, Pakistan watching television images of the World Trade Center attacks.

The documents also offer moment-by-moment details gathered from interviews with many of the Guantanamo detainees about Khalid Sheik Mohammed, Ramzi Binalshibh and other 9/11 plotters. While the administration won’t be happy about the release of these documents and has already expressed dismay, they probably will not have anywhere near the sort of deleterious effect that the individual secret cables had on various diplomatic relationships.

Almost as bad as Assange.

They were going to call it ‘Golden Showers’ but passed on that when they realized that not many people outside of their circle of friends engage in the practice so they just put the ‘leaks’ part in there as an inside joke.

I’ve got a couple questions for Mediaite regarding this article. First off, why is the author simply titled “Mediaite Staff”? Is someone afraid to put their name? Is it some kind of internal policy?

Second, this article has nothing to do with the media. It is simply just a basic copy/paste/ abbreviation from other articles and reporting. Is Mediaite now going to start delving into the hard news world?

Many are calling this latest WikiLeaks release a diversion. The first round of pre-released Nostradamus sports picks is set for next Sunday, May 1st and Assange has avoided discussing what else he’s currently holding >> http://placeitonluckydan.com/2011/03/wikileaks-nostradamus-sports-picks/

I don’t get this either.

There’s a vague and obligatory air to it.

“Mediaite Staff”? WTF? LOL…..it’s almost comical.

@more liberty5 Good observation. When one of our interns works on a piece with significant help from others on the staff we will, on occasion, have the byline simply reflect the work of the staff as a whole. I asked the same question when I saw the story this morning. As for straying from our mandate. . . part of the story here is certainly wikileaks, which is a media story.

Good catch by Liberty. IMO, any time there’s a mediaite posting attributed to either ‘staff’ or ‘TPM(?I often skip it, though this title caught my attention.

In life, when no is formally responsible, then no one is accountable and quality usually suffers. I don’t think any reputable site should ever post items without a byline.

Sounds reasonable.

Those who don’t believe our elected officials should have any accountability must be the ones who hate WikiLeaks.

Maybe the intern wants to work for the government some day and has heard all the threats made to people who even read Wikileaks…
