FBI Prevents Agents from Telling ‘Truth’ About 9/11 on PBS
By MediaChannel.
The FBI has blocked two of its veteran counterterrorism agents from going public with
accusations that the CIA deliberately withheld crucial intelligence before the Sept. 11, 2001
attacks.
FBI Special Agents Mark Rossini and Douglas Miller have asked for permission to appear in an
upcoming public television documentary, scheduled to air in January, on pre-9/11 rivalries
between the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency.
The program is a spin-off from The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the
Eavesdropping on America, by acclaimed investigative reporter James Bamford, due out in a
matter of days.
The FBI denied Rossini and Miller permission to participate in the book or the PBS “NOVA”
documentary, which is also being written and produced by Bamford, on grounds that the FBI
“doesn’t want to stir up old conflicts with the CIA,” according to multiple reliable sources.
Bamford, contacted by phone, said he could not comment because his publisher has embargoed his
new book for release around Oct. 10.
The author of two other ground-breaking books on the NSA, Bamford also said his general policy
is not to discuss his negotiations for interviews with intelligence agencies.
Pre-9/11 intelligence mishaps have been generally attributed to bureaucratic screw-ups — a
“failure to connect the dots,” exacerbated by spy agency rivalries.
But Rossini and Miller, who were assigned to the CIA-run Counterterrorist Center during the
run-up to the 9/11 attacks, are prepared to describe on camera how the CIA blocked them from
sharing crucial intelligence with FBI headquarters - and then later pressured them not to tell
the truth to investigators.
The first allegation is not entirely new, having been reported by author Lawrence Wright in his
2006 book, The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, among other places.
But what is new is that Rossini and Miller — who still hold sensitive jobs in the FBI, and are
identified here for the first time — are prepared to say publicly that, under pressure from the
CIA, they kept the full the truth from the Justice Department’s Inspector General, which looked
into the FBI’s handling of pre-9/11 intelligence in 2004.
“There was pressure on people not to disclose what really happened,” said sources close to the
IG investigation.
Rossini, in particular, is said to have felt threatened that the CIA would have him prosecuted
for violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act if he told the IG investigators what
really happened inside the CTC.
CIA officials were in the room when he and Miller, as well as a sympathetic CIA officer, were
questioned.
The IG investigators showed them copies of CTC intelligence reports and e-mails.
But the FBI agents suddenly couldn’t remember details about who said what, or who reported
what, to whom, about the presence of two al Qaeda agents in the U.S. prior to the 9/11 attacks,
The IG investigators were suspicious.
Indeed, their report, which used pseudonyms for the CIA and FBI agents its interviewed —
Rossini and Miller were called “Malcolm” and “Dwight,” a CIA analyst was dubbed “Eric” —
hinted at a cover-up.
“When we interviewed all of the individuals involved about the CIR [Current Intelligence
Report] they asserted that they recalled nothing about it,” it said
The focus of the IG was what the CIA had witheld about the movement of two al Qaeda operatives,
Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, from Malaysia to the U.S. in early 2000.
Dwight told the OIG that he did not recall being aware of the information about Mihdhar,
did not recall drafting the CIR, did not recall whether he drafted the CIR on his own
initiative or at the direction of his supervisor, and did not recall any discussions about the
reasons for delaying completion and dissemination of the CIR. Malcolm said he did not recall
reviewing any of the cable traffic or any information regarding Hazmi and Mihdhar. Eric told
the OIG that he did not recall the CIR.
Subsequently, Rossini and Miller were not subpoenaed by the 9/11 Commission to tell what they
knew, even though sources say they were eager to do so.
But he and Miller did come clean during an internal FBI investigation, which remains under wraps.
Sources with direct knowledge of the FBI’s internal probe say that the agents provided the
bureau with unadulterated versions of their CTC experiences, including orders they were given
by the center’s then-Deputy Director, Tom Wilshire, to withhold intelligence about the movement
of al Qaeda operatives into the country from the FBI.
When the agents asked permission to tell that same story on television, the FBI initially
agreed, but then cancelled at the last moment, two sources involved in the deliberations said,
with the explanation that it didn’t want to risk inflaming the CIA.
The FBI’s top spokesman, Assistant Director John Miller, did not address that issue directly.
But he said that the FBI had withheld permission for the agents to be named in various reports
on 9/11 intelligence out of security and privacy concerns.
“These questions were examined extensively by several independent agencies and commissions,” he
said via e-mail Wednesday.
“It was determined that the two FBI employees would not be named in those reports because they
continue to hold sensitive positions in the FBI as well as Privacy Act issues regarding current
and former personnel.”
Agent Douglas Miller has said that he doesn’t have “a rational answer” to explain why the CIA
blocked him from sharing information with the bureau, particularly a report of such obvious
magnitude about al Qaeda operatives in the U.S. He speculated that CIA officials at the CTC
were annoyed that he had encroached on their territory.
A CIA spokesman, Paul Gimigliano, ridiculed the allegations.
“I have every reason–every reason–to believe that’s complete garbage,” he said in a brief
telephone interview. “Not only did the 9/11 Commission look at the matter in detail, but former
Director George Tenet wrote about it at some length in his book.”
But the Justice Department Inspector general contradicted Tenet’s assertion that the CIA shared
its intelligence on al Qaeda operatives in a timely fashion with the FBI.
“We reviewed whether this information was in fact passed to the FBI by the CIA, and based
on the evidence, concluded that while the CIA passed some of the information about Mihdhar to
the FBI, it did not contemporaneously pass the information about Mihdhar’s U.S. visa to the
FBI,” the IG report said.
“We concluded it was not disclosed by the CIA until late August 2001, shortly before the
September 11 terrorist attacks.”
Another intelligence source said the CIA feared that if FBI headquarters learned of the
suspects’ arrival in the U.S., it would try to arrest them — and bust up a sensitive CIA
operation to penetrate al Qaeda.
Mihdhar and Hazmi were plotting an attack outside of the United States, the CIA believed, and
wanted the FBI to stay clear of them.
“They said it has nothing to do with the FBI, the next attack will be in Southeast Asia,” said
a source familiar with the details. “They said, ‘It’s none of your business.’”
Rossini and other FBI counterterrorism agents were furious, according to a knowledgeable
source. The FBI is responsible for investigating domestic-based plots.
“They’re here!” Rossini protested to his CTC bosses. “It is FBI business.”
The IG report criticized Douglas Miller (”Dwight”) for not ignoring CIA objections and sending
his crucially important report on Mihdhar to FBI headquarters.
But Miller, who held the relatively low rank of GS-12 at the time, told investigators that it
was unthinkable for him to violate the orders of his CTC superiors. He would have been fired,
“sent home,” he told them.
Miller would be happy to give CIA officials the benefit of the doubt in a television interview,
he has told friends, conceding that there may have been good reasons for their decisions that
he was not aware of.
He has described the CTC as place filled with dedicated professionals who were “America’s
lowest paid professional workers on an hourly basis,” for all the pressure-packed time they
spent trying to detect terrorist plots.
But unless the FBI changes its mind, he’ll have to keep that story to himself.

The FBI did plenty of things wrong prior to 9/11/2001 but none of it,
when exposed, will show that there is anything wrong with the standard
explanation for 9/11, that 4 commercial aircraft hijacked by Islamists
caused all the destruction.
If anything, Bamford's book will show the reader even more information
in support of the standard story.
The only question is, will people in the "Half Truth Movement" read
anything that doesn't have "Truth" in the title?

You seem pretty sure of that. What are you basing this opinion on ?
Faith ?

I'd welcome information and evidence from all sources. The fact that
a lot of it is purposefully withheld does not inspire confidence in
my mind.
If there's nothing to hide then let people speak.

Despite your protestations to the contrary, ya jack booted thug, it
will be shown in the long run that there has been a govcovup involving
the Bush admin in Washington.
I hope you are up to your axle in mud in it too, Al Dykes.

Maybe, but it won't involve man-made demolition at WTC or anything but
a high-jacked civilian airliner hitting the Pentagon.
To believe that something other than 4 airplanes hijacked b Islamists
causing all the destruction on 9/11 is to look stupid and IMO, this is
the real purpose of the "Truth Movement", to make critics of the
administration look like idiots
The "truth Movement" has confused "asking questions" with making
unsubstantiated assertions based on false information phrased as
questions, and not listening to the polite responses and shouting
"Inside Job!" over a bullhorn, and selling books and DVDs to children.
That there is a cover up of the facts surrounding 9/11 is without question.
Whether or not these two agents knew more than they revealed - while
potentially interesting - is of little consequence in the grand sweep of
9/11 investigation. It's just one more data point.

The Israeli spy ring prior to 9/11 and its link to 9/11 has been covered up, a new documentary
talks about Israeli link to 9/11 and prior false flag operations. They recruit Arabs and
finance thugs to carry false flag operations in middle east countries.
