Hijacker Oddities

Oddities and contradictions in reports about the alleged hijackers, suggesting that their identities, associations with other parties, and/or actual roles in the crime have not been conclusively resolved by official investigations.

(The "B"-Series is in development.  Please see Updates.)

For now, we are vetting the following material: 

Says the 9/11 Commission Report: As many as 13 of the alleged hijackers' passports "may have been" doctored "in a manner that has subsequently been associated with al Qaeda" (Ch. 12, fn 32, p. 563, italics ours.)
• First report of magic passport: "ABCNEWS sources identify another hijacker as Satan Suqami (sic)... whose passport was recovered in the [Ground Zero] rubble" (Sep 12)
• Stolen Passports? (Guardian, Sep 21, 2001)
• Hijackers Likely Skilled with False ID (CNN, Sep 21)
• False Identities? (Daily Telegraph, Sep 23)
• Alive and Well? (BBC, Sep 23)
• "Insider" official story of how hijackers were ID'ed
• Newsweek: Hijackers may have trained at U.S. airbases (Sep 15)
• Senator Seeks Answers on Hijacker Ties to Navy Base (Pensacola News Journal, Sep 17)
• USAF spokesperson Ken McClellan: Hijackers trained at U.S. bases (Gannett, Sep 17)
• The 9/11 Hijackers Who Should Have Been Caught by Paul Thompson 
• Almidhar and Alhazmi hosted in San Diego by longstanding FBI informant Prof. Abdusattar Shaikh - Although this story has been public since 2002, the 9/11 Commission report still cites him as an "unidentified witness."
• The Two Ziad Jarrahs by Paul Thompson 
• CIA tried in 1999 to recruit associate of 9/11 hijackers in Germany
• Government worker Johnelle Bryant recalls meeting a suspicious Atta who more or less told her about the 9/11 plot, in Florida at a time - Apr 2000 - when the official timeline still has him in Germany (June 2002)
• Xymphora's analysis of the Johnelle Bryant story - was this an effort to create the legend for a patsy?
• File on Khalid Sheikh Mohamed (KSM), the allegedly captured living mastermind of 9/11, said to be held in an "undisclosed location" and constantly cited by U.S. authorities as the leading source for the 9/11 investigations (June 2004)
• Observation of Atta and Hamburg Cell in Germany by BND and CIA - and in Florida by the Mossad? (Translations of German press articles from Sep 2001, Oct 2002: Mossad apparently specified the names of four ringleaders of the alleged 9/11 hijackers in a warning listing 19 names of persons possibly planning a terrorist attack in the United States, which was given to the US government in late August 2001.)
• The Original "Mad Cow" Articles by Daniel Hopsicker 
Tracking Mohamed Atta and his Florida drug connections, well worth reading in the original order (2001-2002). Interesting nuggets, some with independent confirmation: "Magic Dutch boy" Florida flight school owners Dekkers and Kruithof claimed not to know each other, but had prior business relationship in Netherlands. Three of the alleged 9/11 pilots trained at their schools. Jeb Bush personally present as federal agents impounded police records of flight schools after 9/11 attacks, according to local police. Real owner of Dekkers's school, Wally Hilliard, owned Lear jet impounded with 43 lbs. of cocaine in 2000 (on a regular flight), indicating involvement in covert drug operations. Katharine Harris endorsed Hilliard's bankrupt, pond-hopper airline. Dekkers and Kruithof survived separate suspicious air crashes within weeks of each other in 2002. Atta apparently a heavy-drinking, free-spending, aggressive party monster, according to Hopsicker's research. Official timeline of Atta's movements contradicted by eyewitness accounts. Possible military school connections.
