Hair-curling stuff about Abramoff

If Danny Casolaro hadn't shown up dead in a bathtub in 1991 for investigating "The Octopus", he might be meeting the same fate now, for investigating this:

A little bird has chirped in my ear, telling me to look closer at the possible connection between shady Republican money-man Jack Abramoff and the 9/11 terrorists. Uncharacteristically cryptic, the bird said no more.

I knew about the Associated Press story (referenced here) which reported that Atta and company had hopped aboard a SunCruz casino ship on September 5, 2001. Abramoff owned SunCruz. He acquired the company under circumstances many consider strange -- so strange as to have resulted in his recent indictment. So strange as to involve the murder of the former owner, Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis.

The feds had long suspected that SunCruz ships have been used for money laundering, and perhaps even drug importation. The ships are beyond all regulation -- nothing stops criminals from operating them.

Al Qaida operatives have made many a strange visit to casinos -- visits that most investigators feel had more to do with criminal activity than with gambling.

So what further information was the little bird chirping about?

I suspect the answer has much to do with courageous FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, who is legally restricted from revealing in public all that she found out during her stint as a translator.

Interview with Sibel Edmonds here.

Isn't it funny how these webs of conspiracies always seem to involve members of and people associated with the Bush family?

I wonder if Curt Weldon tried so frantically to revive the discredited Able Danger/Mohammad Atta story this week to try and draw attention from the REAL connection between Tom DeLay and George W. Bush's buddy Jack Abramoff and the 9/11 terrorists?
