Who is Edward Jay Epstein? (Atta in Prague)

http://slate.msn.com/id/2091354

What's this guy's deal? Is there any substance to his claims? Is there a debunking out there somewhere on the Web?

1. He was an early critic of the Warren Commision Report.

Here's his home page: http://edwardjayepstein.com/archive.htm

His "credentials" are good. Personally, I think he's full of SHIT, but he deserves to be read. There are certain personality types (like David Horowitz) who not only flip-over, but become quite obnoxious in the process. I'll look at that site later on, and expect by that time that a fellow DUer will have debunked it thoroughly.

2. It was debunked by both the FBI and the CIA

The FBI had taps on Atta's phone and says he was in the country on the dates he was supposed to be in Prague making Bush's Hussein/Al Qaeda connection believable. The CIA was watching at ports of entry and departure, says he never left the country, on his own passport or somebody else's.

They've been pretty definite about this one, even when they were under considerable pressure to knuckle under and rubber stamp all the fantasies Bush and Cheney were spinning last year.
