Bush & Co: Still Stonewalling on 9/11
Bush & Co: Still Stonewalling on 9/11
The folks at thinkprogress.org have written up an article on the 9/11 Commission.
It looks like the Bush administration is still playing fast and loose with the 9/11 Commission and the public’s right to know.
Recall just a few of the tactics we’ve already seen:
First, the administration argued that an independent inquiry was simply a bad idea (“I think it’s the wrong way to go,†said Cheney). Then, when the bipartisan Commission was formed, the White House dragged its feet in every way possible. It opposed handing over daily intelligence briefings (â€Those are very sensitive documents,†said Bush). It tried to bar Condoleeza Rice from testifying (â€Historically, White House staffers do not testify before legislative bodies,†claimed Scott McClellan). It rejected the Commission’s request for an extension (â€We expect they will be able to meet that deadline,†said spokeswoman Erin Healy). It even set time limits on how long Bush could testify (“We have discussed with the Commission what we believe is a reasonable period of time,†intoned McClellan).
User Submission - Simple Logic Exposes the Truth
The following is a user submission sent in by SomeBigGuy focused on the 'collapses' of the twin towers and WTC7:
A lot has been said about the fact that no steel framed building have ever collapsed from fire before or since 9/11. I've found that if you take this one simple fact just a little further, the truth of 9/11 becomes unmistakable.
In order to convince everyone of the truth, this is the only argument you'll need. Lets take it from the top:
Something that pundits of the official story as well as the media like to ignore is that there was a third collapse on 9/11. Building 7 (WTC 7) collapsed around 5:20 on 9/11 and WAS NOT hit by any airplane. Officially it caught fire from debris and collapsed due to these fires. Additionally, the existence of diesel fuel stored in the building is often blamed for creating the non-existent inferno and bringing the tower down. However, even FEMA's half baked analysis of the collapses conceded that there was only a small probability of that being the case.
9/11 ON TRIAL Article in the Daily Mail
9/11 ON TRIAL
This is a rather lengthy article briefly covering a range of topics from Operation Northwoods, the 'collapses' of the two towers, the confiscated pentagon tapes, LIHOP vs MIHOP, etc. It offers a rather specific 'conspiracy theory' which a lot of people will disagree with, but I felt the article was worth mentioning.
Apparently this article is in response to their new book entitled '9/11 Revealed: Challenging the facts behind the War on Terror'. You can find the official site for this book at 911revealed.co.uk, and you can find the amazon page for the book here.

Father, Who Lost Son at WTC, Claims Bush Administration Hiding Key Financial Documents Leading To Culprits of 9/11
William Doyle has become one of the main lightening rods of the 9/11 truth movement, saying President Bush and his cronies are the biggest stumbling block in getting at the real truth. Involved as one of the plaintiffs in a trillion dollar 9/11 lawsuit, he wants the American people to know Bush is hiding vital documents that could lead to the truth.

“They have blocked every avenue into getting at the truth behind 9/11,†said Doyle, referring to the shallow and unfounded 9/11 Commission findings as well as the Bush administration’s failure to release known information about the financial ties to 9/11.
