ABUSE YOUR ILLUSIONS Report Scoops Front Page News by Two Months

July 25, 2003

New York, NY — “Pieces of the 9/11 Puzzle,” an essay by Russ Kick,
contributor and editor of Disinformation’s recent anthology, ABUSE YOUR
ILLUSIONS (May 2003) outlines the most intriguing and troubling aspects of
9/11, as reported on by newspapers across the country today due to the
release of a Congressional report:

• Missed Opportunities and Lapses by US Intelligence

The Congressional report, by a joint panel of the House and Senate
intelligence committees, found many missed opportunities to prevent an
attack by al-Qaeda in the United States.  One newly disclosed intelligence
document from December 1998 said: "Plans to hijack U.S. aircraft
proceeding well. Two individuals had successfully evaded checkpoints in
dry run at NY airport."

This bombshell was reported on page one of the New York Times today, but
had been reported in ABUSE YOUR ILLUSIONS by Russ Kick in May 2003.  Russ
Kick found that intelligence document before it was reported to us by our
major newspapers.

• Evidence that at least one foreign country was behind 9/11

Further reported in the New York Times today, the relationship between
Omar al-Bayoumi, an employee of the Saudi Arabian civil aviation
authority, and two 9/11 hijackers has “raised questions about possible
connections between Saudi officials and the Sept. 11 attacks, links that
Saudi Arabia has strenuously denied.”  The report further states that Omar
al-Bayoumi, who befriended two of the hijackers and helped pay their
expenses, "had access to seemingly unlimited funding from Saudi Arabia."

As reported prior in ABUSE YOUR ILLUSIONS, Senator Bob Graham, Chairman of
the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, stated on the December 11,
2002 broadcast of NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, “I think there is very
compelling evidence that at least some of the terrorists were assisted not
just in financing — although that was part of it — by a sovereign foreign
government
”

• The Congressional report echoes Russ Kick’s essay

As one senior law enforcement official stated, "What you have here is a
narrative composed of all the information that the government now
possesses about the Sept. 11 attacks.  As the information was gathered
over time – like a collection of puzzle pieces – by a number of agencies
over a period of time, no one person or agency had the complete picture of
Sept. 11 we have now."

If the Congressional committee investigating the 9/11 puzzle had read
ABUSE YOUR ILLUSIONS, published months before the release of this report,
they would have had a more complete picture due to the efforts of Russ
Kick.
