Odd Goings-on in Portland, Maine and in Boston Right Before the 9/11 Attacks
A great run-down of published accounts of what hijackers Mohamed Atta and Abdul-Aziz Al-Omari did the night before and the morning of the 9/11 attacks here.
Summary:
1) they went to three different restaurants, paying by credit card
2) they went to two different ATMs to get cash (where their pictures were taken by security cameras)
3) they went to Walmart to buy boxcutters (apparently) and some electronic device the FBI won't reveal.
4) Atta wore a very garish and noticeable shirt that he threw out before he left Portland
5) they stayed in a Comfort Inn in Portland
6) they were very lucky to make their commuter flight to Boston early Tuesday morning
7) they rented a car in Boston before catching flight 11 and 175.
Suspicious thing #1: why go to three restaurants the night before the big attack?
Suspicious thing #2: why go to two ATM's getting money the night before the big attack? Why would they need so much money if they were going to die the next day?
Suspicious thing #3: Why did Mohamed Atta wear such a garish shirt that was bound to be remembered by people who'd seen him that night?
Suspicious thing #4: why did they go to Walmart to buy boxcutters just the night before the attacks-- and they even had to get directions to go there? Talk about last minute preparations!
Suspicious thing #5: The ATM camera shot by the "Fast Green" ATM machine shows someone who clearly looks like Mohamed Atta-- the guy whose picture we've all seen. The ATM shot by the Jet Port Gas ATM and at Walmart shows someone who looks like Atta but not quite like the guy in the first ATM. Were there two Atta-like men going around that night?
Suspicious thing #6: Why is there so much confusion about whether Atta and Al-Omari came to Portland from Canada or from Florida via Boston?
Extremely Suspicious thing #1: Atta and Al-Omari almost missed their flight to Boston-- and would have if it wasn't delayed (they arrived at 6:40am for a 6:45 am flight, didn't go through security until 6:52 am). Talk about poor planning! If they missed the flight, the whole attack would have been screwed up.
Extremely Suspicious thing #2: Atta and Al-Omari rented a car in Boston the morning of the flight. Why??????????? Most suspicious: "When the abandoned car was found by the FBI, it contained flight manuals written in Arabic." Talk about a set-up.
Extremely suspicious thing #3: Atta and Al-Omari were captured by the security camera at Portland but not at Boston Logan Airport, even though they had to go through security at Logan.
This whole sequence suggests that more than doing anything functional, Atta (and a look-alike?) was setting up his whereabouts (and his "legend")-- and making sure to be noticed. This, of course, is an important job for a patsy in an operation like 9/11.
But surely, even if you don't believe that 9/11 was an "inside job", this sequence has to make you wonder, doesn't it?

Well, I do not actually imagine it is likely to have success.
