Britain and 9 11 : Sir David Manning was in Washington on 9 11

John Scarlett took over as chairman of the UK's Joint Intelligence Committee a few days before 9 11.

On 31 July the Times disclosed that Sir David Manning was in the United States on Sept 11.

The Guardian described Manning as Britain's 'national security adviser' ".

The BBC said that Manning was "head of the cabinet office defence and overseas secretariat" and was already "well known and respected in the White House".

Manning, like Jack Straw, is believed to be of Jewish origin.

Manning met with Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage on September 10th.

Armitage allegedly has been involved in covert operations with the CIA, 'including illegal arms and drug running on behalf of the US government'.

A report by the US National Bureau of Asian Research cites an article in the Washington Times 28 July 1997 which lists Armitage, along with Dick Cheney, as having business or consulting interests in the Caspian zone.

General Mahmoud, the head of Pakistan's intelligence services, the ISI, 'happened' (according to the BBC) to be in Washington at the same time as Sir David Manning.

The head of the ISI is a Pakistani appointment which, by treaty, requires the approval of the CIA. In effect the post is a CIA appointment.

According to the Times of India 9 October, Mahmoud had ordered Ahmad Omar Sheikh to send $100,000 to Mohammad Atta, sometime prior to 9 11.

Mahmoud was meeting with the CIA and senior members of the Bush administration immediately before, during and after the 9 11 attacks.

As the Times of India put it: "A direct link between the ISI and the WTC attacks could have enormous repercussions."

The Mail on Sunday 14 October 2001 confirms that: "Condoleeza Rice, a key member of the Bush war cabinet, is in regular contact with Sir David Manning, Blair's National Security Adviser.... It is Manning, Campbell and Blair's chief of staff, Jonathan Powell, who are seen as the Prime Minister's real war cabinet."
