Former Cuban president says the 9/11 mastermind is in the pay of the CIA and cites WikiLeaks as his source
Fidel Castro has more reason than most to believe conspiracy theories involving dark forces in Washington. After all, the CIA tried to blow his head off with an exploding cigar.
But the ageing Cuban revolutionary may have gone too far for all but the most ardent believer in the reach and competence of America's intelligence agency. He has claimed that Osama bin Laden is in the pay of the CIA and that President George Bush summoned up the al-Qaida leader whenever he needed to increase the fear quotient. The former Cuban president said he knows it because he has read WikiLeaks.
Castro told a visiting Lithuanian writer, who is known as a font of intriguing conspiracy theories about plots for world domination, that Bin Laden was working for the White House.
"Bush never lacked for Bin Laden's support. He was a subordinate," Castro said, according to the Communist party daily, Granma. "Any time Bush would stir up fear and make a big speech, Bin Laden would appear, threatening people with a story about what he was going to do."

[Full Article][Webmaster - My take on this story is that is was released to try and discredit the idea that "9/11 was an inside job". By linking communist-dictator Fidel Castro as a believer, they attempt to discredit the notion that the U.S./U.K./Israeli intelligence agencies were behind the 9/11 attacks. Regardless of how they try to spoil this view with what Fidel Castro believes, there is ample evidence to suggest significant involvement by the CIA/MI6/Mossad (basically all one integrated entity now) in the 9/11 attacks. I will have a 9/11 posting detailing this evidence. In the meantime, view the following movies... Loose Change - Final Cut and Fabled Enemies .]
