Subject: AUT: No evidence on Bin Laden

So far there has been no evidence, not even prima facie evidence, that Bin Laden
was responsible for the terorist atrocity in the US. It would also seem to me
that there is no evidence that the FBI's apparent claims that certain individual
Arabs were the people that carried out the attacks. I doubt if they have, in the
first place, recovered their bodies. Merely because certain  Arabs were
travelling on board  the crashed jet planes is not evidence that they committed
the act. Washington is  assassinating its own system of justice. It is curious
that these alleged terrorists and their cells should now be so identifiable. If
FBI intelligence is this good then how come they were unable to anticipate the
atrocity.

The thanks the American working class get for supporting reactionary Bush in his
position on the attacks is unemployment in the form of job lay offs in the
aviation industry. If a war is launched by Bush  and it goes on for many years
as the Washington administration seems to be saying then will these same workers
continue to support the war when taxes go along with increasing job losses and
restrictions on their freedom. The aviation sector is using the damage done by
terrorism as a pretext for cutting back and restructuring. Clearly the atrocity
did adversely affect the industry --but not to the degree that 31, 000 jobs are
to be lost by Boeing.
