Saddam’s Incomplete Archives

The much anticipated (entire) report on the captured remnants of Saddam’s regime archives will not be published on the internet. Reportedly, the reason is the report is too politically sensitive, however that would not be the only reason (s).

The most sensitive (top secret) archived information was destroyed in a "selective deliberate fashion" by Saddam’s IIS (Iraqi Intelligence Service), and I believe there are indications this was accomplished under the direction of Russian intelligence.

There is no way any report could reach any final conclusions with regard to any ties with al Qaeda based on partial and incomplete array of captured archived documents (the ones deemed unimportant - not destroyed). I don’t believe the report states any such conclusion, but makes clear based on their available information, they could not find a smoking gun in the left-over archives.

Obviously, the pictures of the deliberately and selectively destroyed files and computer hard drives (see below) describe a different picture than which the leaked media reports suggest. None of the earliest media reports mention any of the deliberately destroyed and missing archives as a factor in making a determination, but rather pointedly proclaim there was not any Iraq - al Qaeda connection. A proclamation which is profoundly misleading and wrong.

The Institute for Defense Analyses attempted to put together a picture from a jigsaw puzzle with the most important pieces missing. Drawing any definitive conclusions based on partial and missing information can be daunting task, but can if properly evaluated lead to accurately educated directions. One such direction is clearly stated in the report, Saddam relied on state sponsorship of terrorism as a tool against non-Iraqi’s, which would undoubtedly include America (an enemy).

Any evidence that would tie al Qaeda and Iraq to joint terrorist activities and state sponsored support post 9-11 would have been a priority for destruction (top secret activities). The reasons, war crimes, crimes against humanity, ties to other countries, ties to 9-11, etc..

Supporting evidence of Saddam’s intelligence services (IIS) in action against American interest exist right here on this website. I have photo’s for supporting evidence, what do the Iraq war opponents have?

U.S. Senate Committee on Intelligence

Postwar Findings about Iraq's WMD Programs and Links to Terrorism and How they Compare with Prewar Assessments

First, my pictures are of a meeting which took place in the winter of 2000 and not of a April 9, 2001 alleged meeting between Atta and al Ani.  So no one should become confused with the dates.

According to the Senate Committee on Intelligence,  this is what al Ani told his FBI interrogators, but what he said and claims does not surprise me. Spies do cover their tracks, and al Ani would have covered his tracks after he learned that we were attempting to make a connection. As for the undated document recovered, that would be part of his cover, a planted document disavowing a meeting. No one should ever expect al Ani to tell anyone he met with lead hijacker Mohammed Atta in Prague "on any date" and incriminate himself.

  (click on thumbnail image to enlarge)   

Notice how the Senate Intelligence Committee does not acknowledge or report openly, on my pictures showing Atta meeting with al Ani during the winter of 2000.  Possibly, could it be that some former high level official dropped the ball on this one?

I bet al Ani was very surprised, especially after he saw surveillance photo's of himself and with Atta.

Update 9/10/2006

Vice President Cheney on Meet the Press with Tim Russert (link in red below)

MSNBC Meet the Press Transcript for 9/9/2006

Vice President Cheney today on Meet the Press confirmed the existence of my photo's. He also detailed that there have been several different reports of Atta in Prague.

Concerning my pictures, if I understand the Vice President correctly, he says the C.I.A. and the F.B.I. cannot verify that Atta was with al Ani in Prague . Well of course not. He was trained in the Afghanistan terrorist training camps to plan, work and travel undetected.

As I discussed before, Atta was using fake passports. The 9-11 commission confirmed in their report Atta was trained in altering passport identifications. You can also be sure he was trained in counter surveillance methods. After all, he was the al Qaeda operational commander and they were in the planning stages for 9-11 and would have wanted to go undetected so as not to compromise the operation.

I never published the large picture located above before April 4, 2006. I published a smaller and darker picture in October of 2002 to protect what I felt was vital intelligence and interest. In part of my  analysis, not disclosed until April 2006, the larger photo above shows moles located near the  right side of the eyebrow at exactly the same locations as on smaller photo's of Atta located above. 

If I can crack FSB/KGB intelligence operations with a high degree of accuracy, surely, with a 98% degree of confidence based on my photographic analysis, the man with al Ani in the large picture is 9-11 terrorist Mohammed Atta.

Update 9/12/2006

  ( X-Rayed)

On this additional part of my analysis I kept secret, you will see on the large photo located above that was taken in Prague, moles located just to the right side of the chin/lower jaw area also matches with the black and white photo of Atta.

TW 9/12/2006

Update 10/7/2006

The picture on the left hand side below, with the exception of what I have highlighted, is in its original form that was released by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) after the 9-11 attacks.

In the black and white photo's located above and below on the right hand side, you will notice the moles on the on the right side of Atta's face behind the chin area, are not seen as easily in the color picture released by FDOT.  The reason they were not seen in the photo released by FDOT, is because there has been an intentional attempt at covering up (photo shopped) the identifying markings and obscuring the unique shape and depth of his chin/jaw area.

I am not inclined to believe the camera for some reason, did not focus on that area correctly because the disturbance does not extend beyond Atta's facial outline and is limited only to the chin and jaw area..

I have ruled out that FDOT would allow touch-ups of a photo for a driver's license, and if Atta was using cosmetic make-up to cover up his markings, this would not cause a pixelation disturbance as the photo's clearly show.

The type of camera used, according to FDOT (confirmed), was a digital camera.

Update 4/07/2008

There have been numerous attempts to discredit the Atta meeting with Saddam’s intelligence official Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim al Ani in Prague of the Czech Republic. None of which were so blatantly obvious and I believe with possible malicious intent, than when the New York Times (using unnamed sources) attempted to discredit a meeting in Prague very early on in October of 2002.

The New York Times ran the article on October 21, 2002 stating as fact the President of the Czech Republic discretely called the White House and reported there was not any evidence a meeting occurred.

But the New York Times report was precisely and swiftly denied as a "fabrication".

The following report was published on 10/22/2002 (with full attribution) on the matter: CZECH REPUBLIC PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN REJECTS 'NY TIMES' REPORT AS 'FABRICATION.' A spokesman for Czech President Vaclav Havel has dismissed a report in "The New York Times" claiming Havel told U.S. officials there is no evidence that suspected 11 September hijacker Mohammad Atta met an Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague, CTK reported on 22 October. The 21 October report cited unidentified Czech officials as saying Havel discreetly called White House officials to cast doubt on the alleged meeting. "It is a fabrication. Nothing like this has occurred," Havel's spokesman, Ladislav Spacek, said of the alleged phone conversation". ("RFE/RL Newsline," 22 October)

"The photo's are supporting evidence". No amount of disinformation and or faulty reporting can change that.

The other covertly snapped photo (above) shows Saddam's intelligence official al Ani in a surveillance operation against an American interest. RFE/RL is an American interest.

Was the New York Times story an attempt to cover-up and poison potential evidence? It all depends, on who was feeding the disinformation to the New York Times. Was it a current Czech government official at the time? Or was it a former Czech government official at the time? Or was it someone with an axe to grind, and the New York Times just made it up, time will tell. One thing is for sure, their sourcing if any was full of it.

What is very interesting, is the fact I published the photo's for the first time on 10/22/2002, which coincides with the reporting..

The Shahab-3 Missile     The intelligence the NIE conveniently left out (omits). The missile has the ability to deliver a nuclear warhead. The Iranians tested the missile in Aug. 2004 and tweaked it in early 2005.                      Iran Unnerved/thexreport (1/24/2005)

Read about or listen to nuclear physicist David Albright and Radio Farda (RFE/RL) discuss the Shahab-3 missile in conjunction with Iranian plans to build what look like a re-entry vehicle for a nuclear warhead. The information (designs) was compiled onto a laptop computer, then brought out of Iran and later obtained by U.S. intel agencies. The information contained on the laptop dealt with the 2001 - 2003 time period. RFE/RL story dated 12/2005                        

(click here to listen, uses  Real Audio)

(click here to listen, uses  Windows Media Player) 

If either of those links don't work, read about it here, but it is better to listen to it: RFE/RL.org    

But what happened after 2003 time period, the NIE has conveniently omitted.

The Iranians shifted gears and continued with development and perfection of the nuke delivery capable Shahab-3 missile.

To prove this, during the interview between David Albright and Radio Farda, Albright noted the Aug. 2004 Shahab-3 missile test, "Iran appears to have learned some lessons". Albright said Iran was going in the right direction with the triconic (nose cone) design of the missile if they wanted to build a re-entry vehicle that can better deliver a nuclear warhead, citing accuracy, avoiding detection, etc.. Albright implied this was a better design than the drawings on the laptop which covered the 2001-03 time period. Indicating continued development. (connect the dots time) TW 12/7/2007

The footnote on bottom of page 6 of the NIE states: For the purposes of this Estimate, by "nuclear weapons program" we mean Iran's nuclear weapon design and weaponization work and covert uranium conversion-related and uranium enrichment -related work; we do not mean Iran's declared civil work related to uranium conversion and enrichment. 

Definition of Weaponization: make into or use as a weapon or a potential weapon; alter, change, modify - cause to change; make different; cause a transformation

The failure of the State Department (3) not to include Iran's continued development of their intermediate range ballistic missiles (including the Shahab -3) and its capability to deliver a nuclear warhead in the NIE was meant to intentionally mislead the American people and discredit the Bush administration. Putting us into danger, again. TW 12/7/2007
