"U.S. Campaign Produces Few Convictions on Terrorism Charges"

The WaPo analyzes this statement from Our Leader:
"federal terrorism investigations have resulted in charges against more than 400 suspects, and more than half of those charged have been convicted."
And finds:
Among all the people charged as a result of terrorism probes in the three years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, The Post found no demonstrated connection to terrorism or terrorist groups for 180 of them.

Just one in nine individuals on the list had an alleged connection to the al Qaeda terrorist network and only 14 people convicted of terrorism-related crimes -- including Faris and convicted Sept. 11 plotter Zacarias Moussaoui -- have clear links to the group. Many more cases involve Colombian drug cartels, supporters of the Palestinian cause, Rwandan war criminals or others with no apparent ties to al Qaeda or its leader, Osama bin Laden...

You will never find any kind of connection with al qaeda, because our government made it up to fight the Reds at the end of the cold war.

Check out the history of how old bin laden got his start, check out who was the money guy and find out why?...in other words all the people who are now in prison, are lone-wacko's..and that was the way our government wants it, check out one other fact, the Oil and the control for the dismantling of this non nation called the USA.

Bush and Bin Laden and Fox and Saddam are only tools being used.
