TruthOut on 9-11

Marc Ash gives a good breakdown on Official response to 9-11

"...the Bush administration used the power of the executive branch for months after the attacks of 9/11 to block the creation of any official investigation into the action of the US government. Further, such resistance by the Bush administration to an official investigation continued in the face of repeated demands by the families of the victims of the attacks. It was, in fact, that very pressure from the victims' families that forced the Bush administration to reverse their position and negotiate the creation of investigative body. However, during those negotiations, the Bush administration refused - again - to cooperate, until two demands were met: The 9/11 Commission must agree not to investigate the executive branch, and the Bush administration itself must be allowed to appoint - without review - the chairman of the commission."
Robert Scheer states some of what's missing: Five years out from the attacks, why do we still know so little about what really happened that day?

The Resident admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, but Dick(head) on TV today still sings the old sad song (for his drooling base). He didn't bother to read the bi-partizan congressional report (reckon the Residents reading habits are contagous) and stated he'd of invaded Iraq even if he'd known there were no WMDs. Finally some truth he speaks.

Now, into the circle file...
