In reply to the discussion: Counterterrorism Czar Accuses Tenet and CIA of 9/11 Cover-Up [View all]OnTheOtherHand
(7,621 posts)46. I agree that gyroscope should step up and answer questions
There's one confusing thing about your post:
Indeed, he had already been indicted for the embassy bombings in 2001, but the FBI added him to the Top Ten list in October 2001, a response to the 9/11 attacks.
The way the FBI describes this (following your link), the FBI runs the "Top Ten Most Wanted" list, and the State Department controls the "Most Wanted Terrorists" list -- which, I'm thinking not coincidentally, was created in October 2001. According to Wikipedia, originally there were 22 Most Wanted Terrorists.
However, the Most Wanted Terrorists list appears on the FBI website. It may be the State Department that adds names to the list (the FBI seems to say so, at least), but it's the FBI that has the authority to apprehend people.
I also note that the the Most Wanted Terrorists list says this:
The alleged terrorists on this list have been indicted by sitting Federal Grand Juries in various jurisdictions in the United States for the crimes reflected on their wanted posters. Evidence was gathered and presented to the Grand Juries, which led to their being charged. The indictments currently listed on the posters allow them to be arrested and brought to justice. Future indictments may be handed down as various investigations proceed in connection to other terrorist incidents, for example, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Obviously there will be no future indictments of Osama bin Laden in connection with the 9/11 attacks. But I don't understand what gyroscope is confused about here.

So the USS Cole attack is not a significant attack and did not involve American casualties?

Your answer inside. Which Al Qaeda attacks, small or large, involved airplanes, gyroscope?

Ah, yes, you've got it AND the quote I was looking for originally, the "for example" one.

"according to Sunder, the explosions were silent which is why no one could hear them on 9/11."
