an intelligence asset and intelligence assets are controlled by their sponsors. That
does not of course mean that Al-Qaeda is necessarily pro-American. It means that
Al-Qaeda is being used to perform certain functions for the U.S intelligence
apparatus. And it goes through a whole complex group of intermediaries and
that's why Pakistan's military intelligence has played a very important role in that
context.

Congressman Ron Paul exposed in his newsletter, Texas Straight Talk, that the US
financially supported the Taliban right up until the time of the war. Financing was provided
under the category of humanitarian aid. In 2001 alone, the Taliban received $148 million in aid.
Paul writes:
Our foolish funding of Afghan terrorists hardly ended in the 1980s,
however. Millions of your tax dollars continue to pour into Afghanistan even
today. Our government publicly supported the Taliban right up until September
11. Already in 2001 the U.S. has provided $125 million in so-called humanitarian
aid to the country, making us the world's single largest donor to Afghanistan. Rest
assured the money went straight to the Taliban, and not to the impoverished,
starving residents that make up most of the population. Do we really expect a
government as intolerant and anti-west as the Taliban to use our foreign aid for
humane purposes? If so, we are incredibly naive; if not, we foolishly have been
seeking to influence a government that regards America as an enemy.
Incredibly, in May the U.S. announced that we would reward the Taliban
with an additional $43 million in aid for its actions in banning the cultivation of
poppy used to produce heroin and opium. Taliban rulers had agreed to assist us in
our senseless drug war by declaring opium growing “against the will of God.”

In September 2002, Ted Gunderson, a retired Senior FBI Special Agent-In-Charge,
reported: “A U.S. Army Special Forces officer recently told me that the U.S. Government is
operating a 'huge' terrorist training camp in Greece. A reliable source has advised that Osama
Bin Laden met with CIA representatives from July 4 through July 14, 2001 in the city of Dubai
(member of the United Arab group). The CIA representatives returned to the United States on
July 15, 2001.”

The FBI has even protected personnel with suspicious ties in its own ranks. After
September 11, 2001 the FBI hired many extra translators. One of those translators was Sibel
Edmonds. She noticed some security problems among her fellow translators and reported it to
her superiors. “Edmonds reported that many of those hired to work in the unit could barely speak
English; that they left secure laptop computers lying around while they went to lunch; that they
took classified material home with them; and -- even more disturbing -- that one co-worker
[Melek Can Dickerson] had undeclared contacts with a foreign organization that was under FBI
surveillance.”
According to congressional staff members, FBI officials confirmed that “Dickerson had
