My favorite part:

RATHER: "......what does your gut tell you about who was responsible for these attacks, this week?

MILT: (long, pregnant pause) "......my gut tells me, that we don't know the answer to that...."

I think he knows, but is trying to think of the right words to say to disguise that.

That is what I was thinking. I wonder if this guy would sit down with an interview by WeAreChange or Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth or some other brave individuals to answer these same questions today? That would be awesome. That interview was from the day after 9/11, I'm sure he'd have a lot more to say after having time to digest the whole process if he is willing to talk.

GREAT FIND Aidan!!!!

Milt Bearden on Osama Bin Laden pre-9/11 Frontline interview

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/interviews/bearde...

Excerpt:
I can imagine someone out there watching saying. "This is the CIA talking." You're not going to admit that you created the most dangerous public enemy in the world.
You bet I would. If I could look you in the eye and say, "Trust me, Osama bin Laden was my guy. If it wasn't for the CIA he wouldn't be anything then, he wouldn't be anything today," if I could say that with a straight face, I think that would speed up the process of removing Mr. bin Laden as a source of great, great concern for the United States. I can't say that because it's simply not true. You can find nobody who is familiar with the situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan in those years that would say bin Laden played any role other than the fund-raiser. ...

We've talked to people that say not only was bin Laden in combat, but there are photographs of him with a helmet on, a rifle, commanding troops.
... Afghanistan, the jihad, was one terrific photo op for a lot of people. I will give you that he possibly was engaged in a battle in 1987 where the Saudi contingent and the Gulf Arab group carried off their role reasonably well. I have said that. ... But to carry that beyond ... that series of battles, I simply won't go along with [that] regardless of how many pictures someone can cough up showing bin Laden with a walkie talkie or bin Laden with a Kalishnakov. Anybody that goes in can get a photo op in Afghanistan in those years. ...

So, really what we're looking at is some fact but a lot of fiction.
There's a lot of fiction in there. But we like that. It's the whole Osama bin Laden mythology. It's almost part entertainment. We don't have a national enemy. We haven't had a national enemy since the evil empire slipped beneath the waves in 1991. And I think we kind of like this way. We like this whole international terrorist thing oddly enough at a time when it probably is changing its character dramatically.

If you combine this interview with the statements Dan Rather made (on live tv) regarding the Towers destruction appearing to be controlled demolitions on the day of 9/11/01 it becomes obvious why he was given the faked Bush documents that forced him off the airwaves in disgrace.

Not even the star of CBS news could avoid the "flaming necklace" he talked about in later interviews after he asked too many leading questions and made too many astute observations on national tv when covering the events of 9/11/01.

It sure would be nice to sit these two gentlemen down with everything we have now and get them on camera commenting.

Thanks again, Mr. Monaghan, for all your hard work on behalf of the truth.

I hope that you and yours are well.

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.
