Truth or Fiction

This was recently sent to me. I'm sure that the members here can shed some light on whether this is true about our ex President.

"The last and most important point - thank you for
forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed
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
Mohammed 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. Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth?"

    I think we all need to observe this closer!!!


    This is the reason that I do not forward this kind of list, even though it may be something that I support.
    Advice From Snopes and TruthorFiction


    By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with www.snopes.com <http://www.snopes.com&gt; and/or www.truthorfiction.com <http://www.truthorfiction.com&gt; for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites. Below is their advice for us.



    1) Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this on to '10' of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get bad luck, good luck, or whatever, it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' E-Mails addresses to use in SPAM E-Mails, or sell to other spammers.

    2) Almost all E-Mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of E-Mail is, a way to get names and ' cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers - - to validate active E-Mail accounts for their own profitable purposes.

    You can do your friends and family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them; you will be providing a service to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam E-Mails in the future!

    If you have been sending out (FORWARDING) the above kinds of E-Mail, now you know why you get so much SPAM!

    Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(S) to those types of listings regardless how inviting they might sound!

    You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT in the long run. Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's stop making it easy for them!

    ((((((((((((((Also: E-Mail petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other organization. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address Of the person signing the petition.))))))))))))

    I believe that is true, [except for the thanking part-sorry missed that].

    Oliver North told them about Asama Bin Laden years ago and they didn't listen. I seen the footage on TV showing him saying it. Maybe they should have listened then.[Of course, the US didn't have terrorist threats back then in the US]

    You get out of life what you put into it. If you put nothing, you get nothing.

    That one came out a few days after 9/11.

    Turns out it was a different Islamic snothead named Mohammed Atta.

    Ollie North didn't say squat about Bin Laden. I don't know HOW many times I've seen this erroneous crap posted. The mid-eastern terrorist mentioned to the Congressional panel by Oliver North was Abu Nidal, NOT Osama Bin Laden.

    Urban legend, but certainly in keeping with the politics of the former President and her husband.
