Israeli spies cheer as WTC burns

Justin Raimondo responds to ABC's 20/20 story on five Israelis and their magical white van. He ridicules the woeful investigative work by the FBI:

No wonder Mohamed Atta and his fellow ghouls managed to sidestep our Keystone Kops so easily. If these jokers are still "debating" the obvious, then our government officials are right when they tell us that another massive terrorist attack is "inevitable." With these retards on guard duty, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

And the piss-poor ABC media coverage:

The intrepid reporters over at 20/20 look like they went to a lot of trouble to check out this story. They tracked down one of the original witnesses, went all the way to Israel to hear the young Israelis’ denials, and hauled out ABC’s highly-paid pet "expert" to spin away the obvious. But, somehow, they failed to do the elementary sort of research that would’ve mandated only a trip to their local library. There they might have read this astonishing story that appeared in the [September 12, 2001] Bergen Record, which describes the 5 Israeli detainees picked up 8 hours after the WTC attack as "carrying maps linking them to the blasts"

His conclusion:

We won’t know what really happened that fateful day until and unless Congress takes seriously its responsibility to investigate. For starters, let’s take a look at those highlighted maps – and then drag the rest of Israel’s spy operation out into the full light of day. Then and only then can we answer an increasingly important question about the background to 9/11: What did the Israelis know – and how did they know it?
