Gingrich ‘rewrites 9/11 history.’

Gingrich ‘rewrites 9/11 history.’
A new advertisement by Newt Gingrich linking the threat of terrorism to the immigration debate “rewrites 9/11 history.”
“Mohamed Atta, and several other 9/11 hijackers were in the United States illegally,” Gingrich begins the ad. Photos of Atta and other 9/11 hijackers appear and the word “Illegally” — printed in bold, red letters — flashes over the screen.
“Today, more than five years since that tragic day, our borders remain open to gangs, drug dealers and terrorists,” says Gingrich in the ad.
However, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, Gingrich’s statement is incorrect.
“Atta was in the country legally on 9/11,” said Janice Kephart, a former counsel to the 9/11 Commission and co-author of the commission’s report on 9/11 and Terrorist Travel.
All of the 19 men who hijacked planes on September 11th, including Atta, entered the United States on a tourist or student visa, issued by the former U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, according to the 9/11 Commission.

$55 million for 9/11 workers

$55 million for 9/11 workers
A key Senate Committee has included an additional $55 million in federal funding for the mounting health needs of workers exposed to toxic substances during rescue and clean up following the Sep. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
The money would be used for treatment, screening, and monitoring administered by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services to expand the program beyond rescue workers to provide services to area residents, office and commercial workers, volunteers, students, and other individuals who were exposed to environmental hazards.
Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charles Schumer said the legislation would provide comprehensive medical services for the thousands of ill and injured as well as the development of long-term, comprehensive screening and monitoring.

9/11 Simulation Taxes Purdue Servers
By Sewell Chan
It’s unusual for an academic computer-science department to brag about its prowess on YouTube, but that’s exactly what happened this month after Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., released a study into the causes of the collapse of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
A two-year Purdue University study released this month supports a federal agency’s conclusion that the impact of the hijacked jetliners stripped away fireproofing material, causing the weakened towers to eventually collapse under their own weight.
The video is a counterpoint to the conspiracy theories that still surround the collapse of the World Trade Center (and such outspoken figures as Rosie O’Donnell appear to be sympathetic to these arguments).

9/11 workers from Moore film fear political attack
9/11 workers from Moore film fear political attack

NEW YORK -- Three ground zero workers who accompanied filmmaker Michael Moore on a trip to Cuba for medical treatment featured in his new movie "Sicko" charged Friday they were targeted by the U.S. government because of their participation.
"It's ridiculous after what we did for the city and the country on that day, that they won't allow us to go 90 miles offshore to get treated," said Reggie Cervantes, a 46-year-old EMT who worked with only a thin dust mask after the World Trade Center collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001.
The Brooklyn-based worker, among the first responders performing triage on the street below the burning towers, now suffers from severe pulmonary diseases, as well as kidney and liver problems.

Researchers claim 9/11 sicknesses in the U.S. related to environmental radiation contamination

Researchers claim 9/11 sicknesses in the U.S. related to environmental radiation contamination
by David Jones
Various researchers and activists inspired by the work of Dr. Karl Ziegler Morgan claim that 9/11 sicknesses are related to environmental radiation contamination.
The International 9/11 Citizen's War Crimes Tribunal documents that Leuren Moret reported for example, "elevated radiation readings downwind from the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. Two days after 9/11, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed that the Pentagon crash site rubble was radioactive and that the probable contaminant was Depleted Uranium (DU)."

FBI Documents • FBI's 9/11 Saudi Flight Documents Released By Matt Renner t r u t h o u t | Report
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062207A.shtml
Editor's Comment: Yesterday, CNN's Wolf Blitzer asserted the FBI documents released to Judicial Watch were generating conspiracy theories; an FBI spokesman appearing on the show agreed. Our editors have reviewed the documents carefully and feel that they are newsworthy. It's also worth noting that while the FBI now maintains that there is "nothing new and nothing significant in these documents," the FBI fought a protracted legal battle with Judicial Watch to keep them from bringing the documents to public view.

FBI Documents •
By Matt Renner
t r u t h o u t | Report
Friday 22 June 2007
Newly released documents reveal the FBI suspected that a plane hired to transport members of the bin Laden family from the United States back to Saudi Arabia might have been chartered by Osama bin Laden himself. The documents raise new questions about the FBI investigation into the 9/11 attacks.
Truthout reviewed the 224 pages of newly released documents over the past two days.
CIA to Reveal Decades of Misdeeds
The US Central Intelligence Agency is to declassify hundreds of documents detailing some of the agency's worst illegal abuses from the 1950s to 1970s. 
The papers, to be released next week, will detail assassination plots, domestic spying and wiretapping, kidnapping and human experiments.
Many of the incidents are already known, but the documents are expected to give more comprehensive accounts.
It is "unflattering" but part of agency history, CIA chief Michael Hayden said.
"This is about telling the American people what we have done in their name," Gen Hayden told a conference of foreign policy historians.
The documents, dubbed the "Family Jewels", offer a "glimpse of a very different time and a very different agency".
The full 693-page file detailing CIA illegal activities was compiled on the orders of the then CIA director James Schlesinger in 1973.
He had been alarmed by accounts of CIA involvement in the Watergate scandal under his predecessor and asked CIA officials to inform him of all activities that fell outside the agency's legal charter.

9/11 Truth Conference coming to Vancouver
Get your questions ready, all the experts are coming
By Michael Hey
Vancouver is this weekend hosting an international 9/11 Truth Conference. If this is news to you, it may be a sign that the mainstream media is still treading very carefully around the issue of 9/11. For organizers such as Wayne Prante and Drew Noftle, getting the word out has very much been an eighteen-hour-a-day grassroots effort, putting up posters, and firing off late-night email blitzes.
If, like many people, you have uneasy feelings about 9/11, then the Vancouver 9/11 Truth Conference is presenting you with an unprecedented opportunity to confront the experts with your most urgent questions.
For many, nagging doubts surround the mysterious disintegration of World Trade Center 7. Scholars, architects, and engineers have come forward with the shocking assertion that the official explanation violates the laws of physics. Foremost among them is physicist Dr Steven Jones, author of an academic, peer-reviewed study titled Why indeed did the WTC buildings completely collapse?
