...repeated attempts to investigate Zacarias Moussaoui, widely identified as the would-be 20th hijacker in the September 11th attacks. The memo, dated May 21st, goes on to angrily suggest that the agency's leadership is involved in "a delicate and subtle shading/skewing of facts?." and is making "a rush to judgment to protect the FBI at all costs." She also charged that critical information from the Phoenix bureau, raising a red flag about a suspicious influx of Middle Eastern men at flight instruction schools, and speculating about possible terror attacks, was ignored at the highest levels of government...

Meyssan's 9/11 speculation isn't entirely surprising: he heads a quirky group called Reseau Voltaire, which defends free thought and speech from a perceived host of nefarious threats. More surprising was the rush of French readers, who had so earnestly commiserated with a wounded America, to get a copy of the tract. French observers say the fascination has more to do with the entertainment value of spooky, over-the-top conspiracy scenarios than it does with blossoming anti-American paranoia. The publisher, Carnot, plans to release an English-language translation this month and an additional 18 foreign-language versions...
