Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies Know 9/11 An Inside Job

[faceless]

that doesn't look like the story - that one's about a video from Osama bin Laden and doesn't seem to mention 9/11 at all.

Here it is translated :CLICK

I think this is the right article in Italian.
Is there anybody here online who speaks fluent Italian?

[faceless]

that is the right page after all -

here's the quote that's relevant - "Osama Bin Laden in esso 'confessa' che Al Qaeda sarebbe stato l'autore dell'attentato dell'11 settembre alle due torri in New York, mentre tutti gli ambienti democratici d'America e d'Europa, con in prima linea quelli del centrosinistra italiano, sanno ormai bene che il disastroso attentato è stato pianificato e realizzato dalla Cia americana e dal Mossad con l'aiuto del mondo sionista per mettere sotto accusa i Paesi arabi e per indurre le potenze occidentali ad intervenire sia in Iraq sia in Afghanistan"

and the google translation -
"Osama Bin Laden in it 'confesses' that Al Qaeda was the author of the assassination of 11 September to the two towers in New York, while all environments Democrats of America and Europe, with those at the forefront of Italian center , now know well that the disastrous attack was planned and carried out by the American CIA and the Mossad with the help of the Zionist world order accused the Arab countries and to induce the Western powers to intervene in Iraq and in Afghanistan"

The question to ask is why are we "bloggers" who aren't paid "journalists" doing this kind of investigate work, and not the mainstream media. This is a HOT story ...

Will someone inform GG ? I sure like to hear his reaction.

[Mandy]

I have myself e-mailed him (though that is no guarantee it will be responded to bearing in mind the 000's of correspondence George gets).

Others can do the same via georgegallowaydotcom @gmail.com

Mandy, you should suggest to him that he gives you a more personal way of contact. He really owes you a closer ear considering the work you've done...

I don't want to believe this is true. But, what does an 80 year old former law professor and former President of the Italian Republic have to gain by lying?

The original posted article says this former president "blew the whistle on Gladio" but according to his wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Cossiga) "A strong tension with the President of the Council of Ministers Giulio Andreotti emerged when Andreotti revealed the existence of Gladio, a Stay-behind organization with the official aim of countering a possible Soviet invasion through sabotage and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Cossiga declared his involvement in the setup of the organization. The Communist party started a procedure for impeachment (Presidents of Italy can be impeached only for high treason against the State or Attempt against the Constitution). The request of impeachment was subsequently withdrawn."
Not quite as heroic as those who support his current statements make out, which makes me doubt the rest of the article. For example, the 9/11 quote in wikipedia sounds more like he has formed this opinion, while the original post made it look like he was revealling a clear fact: "From circles around Palazzo Chigi, nerve centre of direction of Italian intelligence, it is noted that the non-authenticity of the video is testified from the fact that Osama bin Laden in it 'confessed' that Al Qaeda would have been the author of the attack of the 11 September to the Twin Towers in New York, while all of the democratic circles of America and of Europe, with in the forefront those of the Italian centre-left, now know well that the disastrous attack was planned and realized by the American CIA and Mossad with the help of the Zionist world to put under accusation the Arabic Countries and to persuade the Western powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan. For this, no word of solidarity arrived to Silvio Berlusconi, who has been the author of the brilliant falsification, neither from the Quirinale, nor from Palazzo Chigi, nor from representatives of the centre-left!"

Harry, You are grappling at straws in trying to discredit him -- and relying on that unbiased and never wrong source : Wikipedia.

There had to be internally placed explosives in the 3 WTC towers. That the Bush Administration, via their hand-picked white wash committee, denied their existance after the tragedy of 911 makes them complicit in the crime.

There you have it.
