To hear Sept. 11 mastermind
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed tell it, Osama bin Laden was a meddling boss whose
indiscretion and poor judgment threatened to derail the terrorist attacks.
He also saddled Mohammed with at
least four would-be hijackers who the ringleader thought were ill-equipped for
the job. And he carelessly dropped hints about the imminent attacks, violating
Mohammed's cardinal rule against discussing the suicide hijacking plot.
Mohammed described
Al Qaeda in a written statement for his U.S. interrogators as an almost
mystically efficient corporation that operates in ways Americans would never
understand.
Their hand
is “Mystically” being guided by the devil. As will be the False prophet and the
Beast according to the book of Revelation.
Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and
his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon
gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave
power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who
is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Revelation 13:12 And the False Prophet exerciseth all the
power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast, (Islam and ultimately the Islamic Antichrist)
whose deadly wound was healed.
"You must study these
matters to know the huge difference between the Western mentality in
administration and the Eastern mentality, specifically at Al Qaeda."
Yet Mohammed describes a
terrorist outfit fraught with the same conflicts and petty animosities that
plague many American corporations. Mohammed describes himself in particular as
having to fend off a chairman of the board who insists on micromanaging despite
not knowing what he was doing.
"[Shaikh] Mohammed stated
that he was usually compelled to do whatever Bin Laden wanted with respect to
operatives for the September 11 operation," the interrogation summary
states. "That said, [Shaikh] Mohammed noted that he disobeyed Bin Laden on
several occasions by taking operatives assigned to him by Bin Laden and using
them how he best saw fit."
Bin Laden presumably would have
his own version of events. But a former FBI agent who closely tracked Al Qaeda
said the testy relationship described by Mohammed was consistent with the
accounts of other terrorism suspects in custody.
"They couldn't stand each
other," the former official said. "They both had huge egos."
