Gitmo Prosecutor: Flight 93 Was Shot Down on 9/11?
Even after 7 years, questions persist about what actually happened to Flight 93 over Pennsylvania on 9/11/01. Yesterday, a Gitmo tribunal prosecutor added fuel to the conspiracy fires…
Wow.
I haven’t been paying much attention to the first Gitmo-based military tribunal of Salim Hamdan, but this caught my eye yesterday evening (via Atrios):
But prosecutor Timothy Stone, in an attempt to draw a link between Hamdan and the al Qaeda leadership in the first Guantanamo war crimes trial, told the six-member jury of U.S. military officers who will decide Hamdan’s guilt or innocence that Hamdan had inside knowledge of the 2001 attacks on the United States because he overheard a conversation between bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.
“If they hadn’t shot down the fourth plane it would’ve hit the dome,” Stone, a Navy officer, said in his opening remarks…
Either a poor choice of words, or a slip of the truth. Which is it?
I like how the other prosecutor says “later explained that Stone was quoting Hamdan in evidence that will be presented at trial”.
Which brings to mind the tiger sketch in Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life”
