A Past Release of so-called Policial Prisoners

[GHook93]

Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners."

However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands, The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.

Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.
It was censored in the US from all later reports.

Imagine that, a murder gets out of prison and murders again.:rolleyes:

BULLSHIT ALERT - Repeating an Urban Myth

This is one of the shaggier urban myths that played for about 15 minutes post 9/11 until it was debunked. So here it is repeated as fact, bashing Bill Clinton because we all know that he is source of all evil in the world. Funny in the original version Ronal Reagan, patron saint of conservatives, was the president blamed for everything. I guess the folks who spread this crap feel free to modify and embellish.

From the Snopes Urban Myth site:

Atta Boy

The Atta who attacked a bus was arrested by the FBI and extradited to Israel, not "captured by Israelis," and his extradition didn't take place until two years after Reagan left office. In fact, the Oslo Agreement itself wasn't signed until nearly five years after Reagan left office. All of this makes it rather difficult to support the claim that Atta was released under the terms of the Oslo Agreement at the insistence of "President Ronald Reagan and Secretary of State George Schultz" (which explains why this information "was missing from later reports"). What's puzzling to us is why newspapers — much less "US authorities" — should have been confused as to whether the two Attas were the same man (especially since one was fourteen years older than the other) or describing Atta as someone "suspected of" or "implicated in" a bus attack for which he had already been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment ten years earlier. (According to The Jerusalem Post, Atta the bus bomber "was eventually freed after the Supreme Court ruled there were faults in the extradition process," but the article did not state when this reversal occurred. Newspaper accounts as late as 1993 still described Atta as "serving a life sentence in an Israeli prison.") What we have here appears to be a case of mistaken identity. The mystery we can't solve is why the mistake was made in the first place. In mid-2002 the "We freed Atta" claim was twinned in e-mail with another popular Internet canard, the "Oliver North warned us about Osama" falsity. North did speak up about a terrorist during the Iran-Contra hearings, but it was Abu Nidal he mentioned, not Osama bin Laden.

Well, it's not more unbelievable than the claims that he's still alive and well today.

And people still see Elvis from time to time. No reason to post it as fact.

You hit the nail on the head. It came with the Oliver North Bin Laden Warning, but it is not any worse than guys that say the US government plotted the 9/11 not the Bin Laden.

RickSP, The point is that it's not a fact yet something people still grab hold of and legitimately believe.

Point taken. I got this e-mail from a friend and reacted without thinking of its legitimacy.
