http://www.theinsider.org/news/arti... US government set Osama bin Laden free!

A new study of the war on Afghanistan, which documents statements from key US military personnel, reveals that the US government caught Osama bin Laden but then set him free.[1,2]

If Osama bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and assuming that he was no longer working for the CIA, why did the US military deliberately release him? The official cover-story is that the US army wanted more of their advanced hardware to be used first!

The US government now claims to have caught the "mastermind" who "planned" the 11 September attacks.[3-5] Although the US government claims that the CIA was involved, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was in fact captured in Pakistan by a top-secret Pakistani intelligence operation. Pakistani officials handed Khalid over to CIA agents, but since then nobody knows where the terrorist is. According to a spokesman for the Pakistan government, Rashid Qureshi:

"We have finally apprehended Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
It was the work of Pakistani intelligence agencies... It
is a big achievement. He is the kingpin of al-Qa’ida."[6]

If the attacks against America September 11th were "masterminded" and "planned" by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, as the US government states, then what exactly was Osama bin Laden’s role in 9/11 and why did the US government invade Afghanistan?

The official reason for the US government’s war against Afghanistan was to destroy Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist network, but this did not succeed. Many people suspect that the true motive was a major American oil pipeline, which is now being constructed through the region.[7]
