Did a search and surprisingly did not find a thread already started on this


Here's an interesting bucket of links with related news from MSM
www.pakalertpress.com...

What do you guys think of this?
Unfortunately Mike Springman is a former head of the American visa bureau in Saudi Arabia
I say unfortunately because many people, you know how they are, will say oh ya but he's probably being paid by Saudis or something of the sort

But looking at this statement and all the other articles in the above link that's pretty damning!!

He has been saying this for YEARS .

I believe it was 13 out of 15 passports were through him , and he was TOLD to give them passports by the CIA.

The 911 detractors have been saying there have been no whistleblowers, there have been lots.

You think that Michael Springman issued 13 passports to the 9/11 hijackers?

I'd like to see you prove that one.

This is from one of the links in the OP's original "bucket of links:"

Springmann: That's right. And as you recall, they believe that this fellow Sheikh Abdel Rahman over in New York that was tied to the first Trade Center bombing, had gotten his visa from a CIA case officer in the Sudan. And that 15 or so of the people who came from Saudi Arabia to participate in the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon had gotten their visas through the American consular general at Jeddah.

(source)

Reading the whole interview, it sounds like he was getting pressure from above to grant visas to a lot of people who he feels he should not have, and that includes "15 or so" of the 19 hijackers.

If you look into this in depth you'll gain the context that those trying to mislead you don't want you to have. Basically Springman retired from Jeddah in 1989. He's talking about a whole different phase of CIA operations than when the hijackers were active. Unless you think he gave Marwhan al-Shehi a 12 year visa when he was 11 years old.

Yes and no...

Looks like you're correct in saying he left Jeddah in 1989, but not that he was talking about a different phase of CIA operations. I'm looking into the article and links here for more context:
According to Springmann, the Jeddah consulate was run by the CIA and staffed almost entirely by intelligence agents. This visa system may have continued at least through 9/11, and 11 of the 19 9/11 hijackers received their visas through Jeddah
There's some conflicting info there, so I won't claim to know what happened, only that it's worth looking into further. If you have evidence to support your claim that he's talking about a different phase, I'd be interested to see that. In everything I can find so far, Springmann definitely seems to be suggesting that the visa program he saw in the 80s was connected to the hijackers.
