Memo To FBI Agent Colleen Rowley
From R. Leland Lehrman
6-12-4
Colleen -
I have never contacted the FBI before for any reason, and would not have if I were not convinced that at least one FBI agent there was honest. That's you.
I was shocked and distressed by the attitude of the FBI leadership to your work prior to 9/11 and was completely supportive of your Woman of the Year award.
Because of your willingness to work towards accountability in the FBI, I have chosen to bring you this analysis.
The basic premise is that Israeli nationals, recently busted all around the country, are part of a possible attack on the United States, perhaps even involving nuclear weapons or an attack on nuclear facilities.
To say such a thing is considered political suicide, given the power of the Israeli lobby, but perhaps you will be willing to at least look at the below published news reports and documents.
Let's go backwards first.
The most recent incident was at King's Bay Naval Nuclear Facility:
The news reports describe the fact that the dogs alerted to the scent of explosives and there was a remote control robot in a suitcase in the van.
Daniel Hopsicker has additional details at:
and
Additional context is found here:
Prior to that incident, Israeli "movers" including the son of the Likud Party spokesperson Shmuel Dahan were busted in Tennessee near the Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Erwin.
Details on that investigation, with notes on other incidents involving Israeli movers are here:
Previous busts include Pennsylvania with a video of the Sears Tower:
Whidbey Island Naval Station: (scroll down the page for the Whidbey Article)
Cloudcroft New Mexico:
"The Midwest":
and of course NYC:
Dominic Suter, the head of the moving company to which the Mossad agents were attached in the NYC case ended up on an FBI terrorist watch list distributed to the Italian banking authorities. I have a copy of that watch list which I will forward to you when I can find it.
Two more remaining contextual details of high importance are the Israeli art student spy-ring in Florida and around the country documented in the DEA/FBI report.
Synopsis here:
Full report here:
and the Fox News Report that got pulled:
Today, I have heard that the National Enquirer is running a story that MI5 and Mossad are alleging that al Qaeda has planted weapons around the USA. Mossad has a history of planting misleading rumors in the press prior to their attacks. Documentation for that claim appears in Mossad whistleblower Victor Ostrovsky's books, By Way of Deception and The Other Side of Deception. One of my sources, a former Captain in Military Intelligence, and I think the Mossad may be much more involved than that. They have a history of attacking the US and blaming the Arabs or calling it an accident. See:
and
Ashcroft and Cheney keep saying they "KNOW" a terrorist attack will hit this summer. Maybe they have inside information. As we know, the top level of the US administration (Feith, Wolfowitz, Libby, Luti, Perle) has very close ties to Israel, some of them even being dual nationals like, I believe, Dov Zakheim (recently retired Pentagon Comptroller). Perle, himself was once busted spying for Israel when he was attached to Scoop Jackson's office in the Senate.
Have you read Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski's pieces on Israeli generals in Feith's office?
Here's a picture of one of the meetings:
Altogether, I think that the QUANTITY of Israeli nationals busted spying and or possibly moving explosives (of the 120 Israeli nationals deported prior to 9/11, most were expert in explosives or signals intelligence (check DEA/FBI report for confirmation of that) prior to and after 9/11 warrants a thorough investigation and interdiction if possible. Especially given the high-level Israeli infiltration of the US civilian and military command.
God knows I hope I'm wrong, I hope this summer will be uneventful, but when you have the amount of context I have and the incidents keep getting more and more frequent and alarming, this citizen feels like he has to DO something. I have contacted sympathetic members of the armed forces, and now you at FBI. I will continue to contact officials with the ability to DO something about this and hope that you can recommend others who might be sympathetic. BTW, you should know about the case of FBI translator whistleblower Sibel Edmonds. Below please find the latest on that and a few odd items including the full text of the newspaper article on the Israelis busted in the Midwest.
Thanks for your time, please give me a call when you can.
Maybe there's something more we can do together.

Dear 9/11 activists and concerned citizens, We recently received the following appeal from former FBI translator and 9/11 whistle-blower, Sibel Edmonds, calling for people to join her this Monday in US District Court in DC. At the hearing, Judge Reggie Walton is expected to rule on whether John Ashcroft's "State's secrets" gag order against her will stand.
(http://www.septembereleventh.org/edm...oft_filing.pdf)
She needs our support. Please forward this email far and wide, especially to anyone you know in the DC area who might be able to attend. Details are in the letter below.

An email from Sibel Edmonds:
For over two years Attorney General John Ashcroft has been relentlessly engaged in covering up my reports and investigations into my allegations. He has asserted the rarely invoked State Secret Privilege in my court proceedings, and has used it to quash a subpoena request for my deposition from attorneys representing 9/11 family members on information regarding 9/11.
Ashcroft is not protecting 'national security' or 'state secrets' of the United States. On the contrary, he is endangering our national security by covering up facts and information related to criminal and terrorist activities against this country and it's citizens.
Ashcroft is fully aware that making this information public will bring about the question of accountability, will expose serious criminal activities, and his complicity in covering up.
On Monday, June 14, 2004, at 10:00 AM, Judge Reggie Walton is expected to issue his ruling on the state secret privilege assertion by AG Ashcroft, which is intended to gag me. The hearing will be held in US District Court for the District of Columbia, located at 3rd and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, Judge Walton's courtroom. Please attend if you can, since by your presence both the court and Ashcroft will understand that this attempt to cover up will not go unnoticed.
I will be there, in front of the Court's Constitution Avenue entrance, at 9:30 AM, and will be joined by Daniel Ellsberg to make press statements and to meet with all of you.

WANTED BY FBI: STILL MORE SUSPICIOUS MEN WITH ISRAELI PASSPORTS, BOX-CUTTERS, OIL PIPELINE AND NUCLEAR POWER PLANT PLANS.
Nuclear Plants Tighten Security
FBI seeking 6 men seen in Midwest
By Martin Merzer, Curtis Morgan and Lenny Savino
The Miami Herald
October 3, 2001
WASHINGTON -- As the nation stands on high alert, the FBI is searching for six men stopped by police in the Midwest last weekend but released -- even though they possessed photos and descriptions of a nuclear power plant in Florida and the Trans- Alaska pipeline, a senior law enforcement official said Tuesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration imposed new flight restrictions around nuclear plants nationwide Tuesday, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission advised the nation's 103 nuclear plants late Monday to fortify security. On Tuesday, agency spokesmen said the FAA's flight restrictions and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's security recommendations were based on Ashcroft's general alert rather than a specific threat. Ashcroft warned that Americans could be struck by another terrorist attack this week.
The incident in the Midwest apparently contributed to the new warning. The six men stopped by police were traveling in groups of three in two white sedans, said a senior law enforcement official, who requested anonymity.
SUSPICIOUS MATERIAL
In addition to the photographs and other suspicious material, they carried "box cutters and other equipment,'' the official said. They appeared to be from the Middle East and held Israeli passports. They were let go after the Immigration and Naturalization Service determined that the passports were valid and that the men had entered the United States legally, the official said.
The FBI declined to comment. An INS spokesman called the report unfounded. "We have absolutely no information at this point in time to substantiate that story,'' said the agency's Russ Bergeron. It could not be learned in what state the six men were stopped or how they aroused suspicion. It was not known whether their true identities matched those on the passports, or why the FBI was not releasing their names or descriptions.
Investigators think the men almost certainly have changed cars by now and have fled to Canada or elsewhere. Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller were ``furious'' that the INS allowed the men to be released without consulting the FBI, the official said. Ashcroft and Mueller appeared Monday evening at a news conference to announce that the government had ``credible'' but vague information that another wave of terrorist attacks could strike Americans within a week.
ON ALERT
Spokeswoman Rachel Scott said FPL's plants remained at the highest level of alert. "We are in very close communication with all levels of law enforcement, including the FBI, to ensure we have the security measures in place to protect the plants,'' she said. Also Tuesday, the FAA restricted all flights below 18,000 feet and within 10 miles of 86 "sensitive nuclear sites'' , the agency said. Exceptions can be made for law enforcement, medical and firefighting flights. The 800-mile-long Trans-Alaska Pipeline runs from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean to Valdez on the Pacific.
