Who Killed Dr. Graham?

Special Agent Steven Hayes of the Shreveport FBI obviously had a lot on his mind. My reporter buddy, Jordan, and I had dropped in on him in the Shreveport field office of the FBI. By strange coincidence, Hayes happened to come to the front window, to talk to these two Eastern strangers through thick plexiglass. We couldn’t believe our luck.

The receptionist had been trying to get rid of us, but we insisted that we needed to speak to the supervisor. We said it was a matter of national security. It was. Their town’s lone 9/11 researcher/author had been murdered. Special Agent Hayes had been involved.

Hayes had met with Graham, before 9/11. That had been in Graham’s book “The 9/11 Graham Report” an unpublished and quirky little memoir that someone in Idaho had mailed me. According to multiple sources, Graham was warned not to publish this book several times by the FBI. When he went forward, he was poisoned while travelling alone in a small town in Texas.

Local FBI showed up at the small town hospital and asked doctors in the E.R. why they were trying to save a “crazy” man who had just tried to kill himself. The cardiac surgeon there stopped trying to save Graham, due to the FBI’s intimidation. Meanwhile, back in Graham’s hometown, FBI’s comments implied to the media that Graham attempted suicide.

By talking to everyone I could in Shreveport, I began to get a picture of who David Graham was. When a homeless man moved into an old trailer on his property, Dr. David Graham didn’t call the cops. He brought out hot soup and clean clothes. He brought a spirit of healing. He struck up a conversation. In time, the homeless guy got back on his feet. When the local drug-dealing DA framed a young Air Force soldier for murder, it was Dr. Graham who championed the accused, defending the airman’s innocence on his AM radio show. Graham worked with a good lawyer, and the charges were over-turned. That lawyer became a close friend of Graham’s, and delivered a blistering eulogy at Graham’s funeral.

So of course, God, or history, or the Hegelian Spirit of Freedom chose the stalwart Dr. Graham for this ominous task: Graham met two of the 9/11 hijackers, ten months before 9/11, in his crooked, Southern, little home city of Shreveport, Louisiana. Graham exhibited his trademark tenacity. He researched the 9/11 attacks, and tried to figure out why the FBI had ignored his warnings. Graham’s integrity lead directly to his untimely death from poisoning, three years ago.

His death was not in vain. Graham was an evangelical Christian, who believed in the resurrection. Graham’s own death leads to a unique form of new life. His death was murky and weird, but it rejuvenates interest in these gnawing questions:

Just who were the '9/11 hijackers'? Who helped them while they were in the US? What was their relationship to the darker shadows of US Federal law enforcement and intelligence?

This line of inquiry is even more poignant when one remembers that the media post-9/11 were reporting numerous stories about the impending “9/11 Trials” of the many accomplices to the “19 hijackers.” In fact, John Ashcroft reported that his Department of Justice has detained “nearly 1000 individuals” for aiding and abetting the hijackers. Yet almost all were quietly and individually released. The widows and grieving parents of the 9/11 victims families still ache for justice. They are still waiting for the promised “9/11 trials” of the accomplices.

Graham’s death was at the hands of those accomplices. It is a heinous crime. But his death is just one part of the biggest crime of our time. With Dr. Graham’s death, the 9/11 cover-up reaches a new low: Graham is the first 9/11 American truth researcher to die. And unfortunately, the FBI is the top suspect. But his death was not in vain. It is a vibrant, direct path to the truth about the 9/11 accomplices.

In the wake of his death, the FBI denied meeting with Graham before 9/11. But that day in the FBI’s tiny white lobby, agent Steven Hayes admitted that he had in fact met with Graham before the attacks. From the conversation with Hayes, I gathered that the wealthy Shreveport terrorist handler M.J. Khan was likely an FBI informant. Hayes talked too much, and he contradicted the FBI’s previous statements.

Eventually, he lost control. He called security on us, to force two pesky reporters to stop asking questions. He had to. He was having a hard time talking to us. He was stammering. He glared at me hard through the one inch thick plexiglass. This story is big, his body language seemed to plead. It’s bigger than me, and it’s bigger than you. Locking eyes with Hayes, there was a tremor, deep inside him, and a tick in one eye. It was as if he said,

Help me.
We killed this guy. It was not right.
This is not what I signed up for.

What do we really know about 9/11? The truth about 9/11 should be a provocative, national political issue. But it’s seldom discussed with candor in mainstream media. Graham’s story is the kind of compelling, small town underdog story that will change all that.

Dr. Graham was a Vietnam veteran, and had been a medical volunteer. He had been a serial entrepreneur, and an innovative dentist. He met Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Fayed Banihammad (two of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers) in his hometown of Shreveport ten months before 9/11. He warned the FBI that he found two young Saudi “medical students” suspicious. But he was verbally abused and threatened by FBI. When 9/11 happened, this same Nawaf Al-Hazmi was accused of being one of Bin Laden’s right-hand men. That’s strange, because Al-Hazmi and his cohort Khalid Al-Mihdhar had been protected by various agencies of the Federal government, multiple times.

With a background in scientific dentistry research, Graham kept records with a tight, laboratory-standards kind of rigor. He secretly video-taped himself speaking about the terrorist meetings, after 9/11, with M. J. Khan, and the other Arab terrorist handler he had known. The video-tapes, made available online by this author, prove Graham’s credibility, and wiles. [See the “Collateral News” pieces online at YouTube—they are compelling.]

Dr. Graham’s relationship with the blond albino Pakistani hustler (and probable FBI informant) M.J. Khan is a story in itself. Khan had special access to Barksdale U.S. Air Force base, where he enjoyed dating women of the U.S. military. Meanwhile, Khan was giving money and shelter to the “ringleaders” of the 9/11 attacks: Nawaf Al-Hazmi, Khalid Al-Mihdhar and their companion, the “muscle” hijacker Fayed Banihammad.

Let’s repeat those first two names. Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Mihdhar. As Dr. Graham’s memory passes from we the living into American history, the names of those two young Saudis will keep on coming back up. The aegis of Federal protection was always hovering over those two, Bin Laden’s right-hand men.
