Here's a transcript of John Loftus on the Alex Jones Show, a follow-up to his appearnce on FoxNews where he fingered the purported 7/7 "mastermind" as an MI6 agent.
Of course, now that we know the bombs were placed under the trains, the "mastermind" can really only be said to be a "patsy manager."
But he is, MI6 nonetheless. LibertyForum August 3, 2005: JL: Sure, actually it was two weeks before the London Subway bombings, I mentioned on FOX that a group, al-Muhajiroun, may attempt subway bombings in either New York or London.
AJ: That’s true, I saw that, too.
JL: So what happened is this same group, we have been tracking over here very successfully for some time, was behind the bombing. And all of these characters from all three subway bombings, two semi-successful, one attempt that was blocked, three different cells in London are all tied into the Finsbury Mosque. And this is the radical center of London. And within that mosque was a man named Haroon Rashid Aswat and we believe he was the double agent, in fact, British intelligence.
Now the Israelis have been scathing about this guy. They said that he has been openly training people for al Qaeda, recruiting them and the British haven’t done anything. A number of sources, including some of the Arabic sources themselves, these Arabic extremists, are saying yes back in the ‘90s, this guy was involved with this British secret service project, MI-6, to recruit Muslim extremists to go fight with the Kosovo Liberation Army.

AJ: Well let’s be specific, on FOX News, you boiled it down. This guy is an asset of MI-6.
JL: Absolutely. The first time we picked him up was in ’99 when he was scoping out terrorist spy bases in Oregon. The Justice Dept. wanted to indict him and we were told, “hands off.” The [ ] in New York does the indictment. Two years later, again he’s not indicted, his superior, his subordinate all indicted, not him. Now, the New York office claims, “Oh but the British told us he was dead.” He wasn’t dead. He was hiding in South Africa. The South Africans picked him up last month and the CIA was more than a little annoyed. They wanted to grab him right away. And the British said no. So at that point in June, the British knew that this guy, Haroon Rashid Aswat, was a wanted terrorist by the CIA and by several people in the British government. And where does this guy run to? He runs to London – under his own name.
AJ: And under his own name, he’s in the terrorist watch list, goes right through again – continually an asset.
JL: The only explanation is that the Arab newspapers are right. This guy worked for the British secret service. They wouldn’t touch him. So, then… .....---
