The Force is Strong With This One
I just received this e-mail from a friend :

Do you remember 1987?

Thought you

might be interested in this forgotten bit of

information...........



It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were
playing an old news video of
Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra
hearings during the Reagan
Administration.

There was Ollie in front of God and country getting
the third degree, but what he said was stunning!

He was being drilled by a
senator, 'Did you not recently spend close to
$60,000 for a home security
system?'

Ollie replied, 'Yes, I did, Sir.'

The senator
continued, trying to get a laugh out of the
audience, 'Isn't that just a little
excessive?'

'No, sir,' continued Ollie.

'No? And why not?' the
senator asked.

'Because the lives of my family and I were
threatened,
sir.'

'Threatened? By whom?' the senator
questioned.

'By a
terrorist, sir' Ollie answered.

'Terrorist? What terrorist could
possibly scare you that much?'

'His name is Osama bin Laden, sir' Ollie
replied.

At this point the senator tried to repeat the name,
but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then
probably couldn't. A couple
of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator
continued. Why are you so
afraid of this man?' the senator asked.

'Because, sir, he is the most
evil person alive that I know of', Ollie answered.

'And
what do you recommend we do about him?' asked the
senator.

'Well, sir,
if it was up to me, I would recommend that an
assassin team be formed to
eliminate him and his men from the face of the
earth.'

The senator
disagreed with this approach, and that was all that
was shown of the clip.

By
the way, that senator was Al Gore!

Also:

Terrorist
pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in
Israel
in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and
imprisoned him. As part of the
Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993,
Israel had to agree to release
so-called 'political prisoners.'

However, the Israelis would not release
any with blood on their hands. The American
President at the time, Bill Clinton,
and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher,
'insisted' that all prisoners be
released.

Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked
us by
flying an airplane into Tower One of the
World Trade
Centre . This was reported
by many of the American TV networks at the time
that the terrorists were first
identified.

It
was censored in the US from all
later
reports.

If
you agree that the American public should be made
aware of this fact, pass this on.

Do Not Break - it is 8 years strong.


This

is why I always say I love YOU....





This has not been broken since 9/11/01,
please
keep it going...

This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory
of
all those who perished this morning; the
passengers and the pilots on the
United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World
Trade Centre and the
Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders. Our
prayers go out to the friends and
families of the deceased.

Naming Ossama bin Laden as the biggest terrorist on Earth in 1987 sounded strange to me, so I did a little Google search and I stumbled upon this site :
_http://www.snopes.com/rumors/north.asp

that shows Oliver North was speaking of Abu Nidal instead of Ossama.
Thank you Barry & Kim Swithenbank for this beautiful piece of disinformation. :evil:
 
You have to wonder who sits around all day looking for little stories they can alter oh-so-slightly to suit their agenda(s).

I actually make a point of going to snopesDOTcom any time I receive an uninvited email like that. They really seem to have put a lot of effort into trying to dispel a lot of the hoax emails that have been circulating the Internet over the years IMO.

In fact, many of the email hoaxes they have researched actually started as fax spam or chain letters long before the Internet was formed.

Interesting find.
