More Evidence of 9/11 Commission Failures

Once again, events and facts have overtaken the 9/11 Commission's woeful report. The Spanish government has convicted a group of terrorists for complicity in the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US.

A Spanish court on Monday convicted and sentenced a Syrian-born man to 27 years in prison for conspiring with al Qaeda and the hijackers who carried out the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States.
Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, alias Abu Dahdah, was one of 18 found guilty among 24 defendants on charges of cooperating with al Qaeda. ...

Prosecutors presented evidence that Yarkas and Driss Chebli, a Moroccan, coordinated a key meeting in Spain with the lead Sept. 11 hijacker two months before the attacks.

Chebli received a six-year prison sentence on a charge of collaborating with a terrorist organization. Ghasoub Abrash Ghayoun, a Syrian who videotaped the World Trade Center and other key landmarks in the United States, was acquitted. He insisted he shot the footage as a tourist.

Tayssir Alouni, a journalist with the Arabic-language television network al-Jazeera, was sentenced to seven years in prison. Prosecutors used an interview that Alouni conducted in 2001 with Osama bin Laden as evidence that he had a link to al Qaeda.

The Commission would like people to think that the hijackers didn't receive any outside help, especially during the period of time that Atta was outside the country according to the Commission's timeframe.

The insanely light sentences imposed by the Spanish courts, 27 years (which amounts to under four days per person murdered on 9/11), suggests just how silly it is to prosecute these cases in a traditional fashion.
