"A significant probability exists that Bin Laden’s organization is a subcontractor and not the mastermind in, among others, Saddam Hussein’s anti-American chess game"

James Woolsey and Mansoor Ijaz.

September 12th 2001.

A few days before 9/11 James Woolsey, and his sidekick Mansoor Ijaz, argued that the US should remove sanctions from Pakistan.

The sanctions were in place because Pakistan was supporting Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban.

9/12, NYT ran the replies.

When all the airplanes were ground in the US after the attacks, Woolsey boarded a US government plane and headed to Europe to start making the case for Saddam Hussein's role in the 9/11 attacks.

The British government was the first point of call.
"Woolsey visited the Swansea Institute, a technical school in Wales where Basit studied, as well as the South Wales Constabulary. The constabulary contacted the legal attaché at the U.S. Embassy in London to ask if Woolsey was acting in an official capacity."
Before 9/11 Mansoor Ijaz was lobbying to get Pakistan off sanctions lists.

After 9/11, he had the ear of US Generals telling them OBL was in Tehran.

After the Abbottabad raid, he passed information to Pakistan's ISI.

Why should we believe a word that comes out of James Woolsey's mouth?

Mike Flynn shouldn't have trusted him that's for sure.

"Speaking exclusively in Express News’ show Baat-say-Baat, Ijaz claimed to have met General Pasha in London and provided him evidence regarding the secret memo allegedly dictated by Hussain Haqqani."

Mansoor Ijaz was providing the ISI with evidence to smear pro-US diplomats.
