Osama bin Laden's driver witnessed the al-Qaeda leader being briefed on the day of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and overheard him express satisfaction that the death toll had exceeded expectations, an FBI interrogator testified Wednesday.
Salim Ahmed Hamdan, now held at the U.S. military prison here, had said under questioning six years ago that bin Laden was "happy about the results" of the terrorist strikes because he had expected "only" 1,000 to 1,500 people to die, former FBI agent Ali Soufan told jurors at Hamdan's military trial.
And, Hamdan inadvertently admits guilt:
Soufan said on cross-examination that the information Hamdan heard about terrorist attacks usually came after they occurred, not before. "He never told me he had previous knowledge except . . . when bin Laden tells him that there is an operation coming," Soufan said.
So, he testifies that Bin Laden admits to involvement in the 9/11 attacks, which blows conspiracy theorists' ideas out of the water that our government was involved. AND, he admits that Bin Laden told him that an "operation is coming".
He knew already that Bin Laden had attacked civilian targets with the embassy bombings as well as the USS Cole attack.
So, therefore, he's guilty as hell in my book, and not this "poor guy who's only a driver" bullshit he's trying to peddle.
