'Secret' Air Base for Iraq War started prior 9-11

"Secret" Air Base for Iraq War started prior 9-11
This story has been floating around for a few days. Basically it shows that prior to 9/11 bases needed for the war in Iraq were getting funded and created. This is just another example of long term planning of things which wouldn't have been possible without 9/11.

Karl Rove Uses 9/11 As a Political Tool

Apparently Karl Rove only appreciates the republicans that died on 9/11. His comments are incredibly out of line and disrespectful.

Rove Criticizes Liberals on 9/11

"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Mr. Rove, the senior political adviser to President Bush, said at a fund-raiser in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York State.

Citing calls by progressive groups to respond carefully to the attacks, Mr. Rove said to the applause of several hundred audience members, "I don't know about you, but moderation and restraint is not what I felt when I watched the twin towers crumble to the ground, a side of the Pentagon destroyed, and almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens perish in flames and rubble."

New NIST Reports on WTC Released

New sets of documents were released today by the NIST on the collapses of WTC 1 and 2. Their last reports were released in April and were considered drafts, however these new reports are marked as drafts as well.

The NIST is now looking for people to submit comments on their report, and I can only assume that researchers such as Jim Hoffman, Jeff King, and others will take this opportunity to point out their disagreements.

Former Assistant Secretary Of Treasury Under Reagan Doubts Official 9/11 Story

Former Asst. Sec. Of Treasury Under Reagan Doubts Official 9/11 Story

A former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Reagan stepped back into the political spotlight this week, expressing doubt about the official 9/11 story and claiming "if they lied to us about Ruby Ridge, Waco and weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, why should we believe them now."

A Call to DSM Supporters - Help Sibel Edmonds!

Sibel Edmonds – An Appeal to the Internet Community

There has been much activity on the Internet the last few weeks regarding the Downing Street Minutes — and rightfully so. Documentation proving the Bush administration manufactured intelligence in order to invade Iraq should be on the front page of every newspaper and should be the lead story on every newscast – but we all know how things work (or don’t work) these days. However, the strength and determination of the Internet Community has managed to keep this story from disappearing while, at the same time, applying pressure to the mainstream media.

A Call to University Students and Professors for 9/11 Investigation

Recruitment note for "Academics for 9-11 Truth"

The following email is from Marcus Ford, Professor of Humanities at Northern Arizona University. Dr. Ford is spearheading an effort to organize academics interested in helping uncover the truth about the events of September 11. If you would like to help out or learn more, please contact him at the address below. And please also forward this email to anyone or any list that you think might be relevent. - Ed.

Dear colleagues,

There are now 21 of us, in the US and Canada, who are committed to looking more closely and critically at the events of 9/11 and the official account of those events. We need to triple or quadruple our numbers. I am open to suggestions as to how we can do this. Are there other sites that we can post to? Do you have colleagues at other universities who are open to this project? All ideas are welcome. I would especially welcome contacts at colleges, seminaries, and universities in Texas and at historically black colleges and universities. Please send along any and all suggestions and names of people to contact. Also, if you have concerns, I welcome those as well.

Late Night Article on Silverstein, WTC Lease Holder

Building 7 "Pull It" Comment: Silverstein Responds

.. the Internet and talk radio has buzzed with speculation on what Larry Silverstein meant when he admitted on a September 2002 PBS documentary, 'America Rebuilds' that he and the NYFD decided to 'pull' WTC 7 on the day of the attack.
..
A New York Post article, '9/11 Ad by Loon Tycoon Sees gov't plot,' was an attempt to whitewash giant ads taken out in major newspapers by millionaire Jimmy Walters questioning the official story of 9/11. One of those ads highlighted the Building 7 issue and asked Silverstein about the comments he made in the PBS documentary..

Open Thread

I will be out of pocket possibly until late tonight, so post away.
