[Instead of the video, we get a statment that the video has been viewed and
that the terrorist had a passport. Each of these statements made by the FBI
is a self serving play on semantics and each misses the importance of my
prior "sharp dressed man" account. The importance being that the man "Tried
to board the plane with an accomplice and without a passort". The other
significance is that only the airport security video can verify my
eyewitness account and that it is not being released.--Aaron Foley, "Flight 253 passenger Kurt Haskell:

[In a CNN
News program, passenger Richelle Keepman states, "There was a man
that, when we first took off, I noticed about 10 seats ahead of us to the

flight and was just excited. And then, when the actual incident
occurred, I looked up, and he was the only one standing and filming the
entire thing."--Eileen Dannemann, "US-Israeli Complicity in

[. . . the Associated Press reported January 4, that British authorities
began assembling a security file on Abdulmutallab shortly after his arrival
the UK in 2005 when officials claimed he was in contact with "known
radicals."--Tom Burghardt, "Flight
253: Anatomy of a Cover-Up," Global Research, January 11, 2010]
[Patrick F. Kennedy, an undersecretary for management at the State
Department, said Abdulmutallab's visa wasn't taken away because intelligence
officials asked his agency not to deny a visa to the suspected terrorist
over concerns that a denial would've foiled a larger investigation into
al-Qaida threats against the United States.
Allowing Adbulmutallab to keep the visa increased chances federal
investigators would be able to get closer to apprehending the terror network
he is accused of working with--Nathan Hurst, "Terror suspect kept
visa to avoid tipping off larger investigation," Detroit News,

[Could the SDM have been a U.S. Government official? He dressed in a suit
and not a security uniform. Check. He indicated we do this all the time.
Could "we" be the U.S. Government? Check. He spoke English with an American
accent. Check. Would he need to convince the ticket agent that this was a
normal procedure to allow boarding without a passport? Check. Would he have
the ability to obtain such clearance? Check. Could he enter this security
area even though he wasn't a passenger? Check. Would the ticket agent likely
refer this request to a manager? Check. Would the U.S. Government not want
this information public and try to hide it? Check. . . .
On January 20, 2010, current Director of the National Counterterrorism
Center (NCTC), Michael E. Leiter, made a startling admission. Leiter
indicated that: "I will tell you, that when people come to the country and

that we want them here in the country for some reason or another." . . .

[Had the 23-year-old Nigerian set off his bomb, it would have been a
nightmare for the people on board, and a tragedy for those who knew them. It
would certainly have represented a safety and security issue that needed to
be dealt with. But it would not have been a national emergency, nor a
national-security crisis.--Tom Engelhardt, "This is not a national emergency," antiwar.com, February

[Since he left public service in 2009, Chertoff co-founded the Chertoff
Group, a security and risk-management firm, whose clients include a
manufacturer of full-body scanning machines. After a young Nigerian without
a passport - the so-called Christmas Day "underwear bomber" - was allowed,
in the words of Ha'aretz, to "slip through" security at Schiphol Airport by
the Israeli security firm, ICTS International (which was established by
former members of Israel's internal security service, the Shin Bet), the
former Homeland Security chief was all over the mainstream media touting
full-body scanners as the answer to America's airline security
problems.--Maidhc O Cathail, "Pro-
