QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Truth serum would ruin the very foundation on which our political
government is run. If you ever injected truth into politics, you would have
no politics."
-- Will Rogers
As the 9/11 inquiry gets under way inside the beltway, a new publication is
being released in England by The Institute for Policy Research & Development
(IPRD); a powerful new study of the September 11th terrorist attacks. I keep
wondering if the "INTELLEGENCE COMMUNITY" of the richest, most powerful
nation in the history of the planet could really have been as dumb as they
are now claiming, or is all the accusations and back stabbing just a dog &
pony show to deflect our attention from the truth. Will we ever know? Okay,
call me a commie pinko hippy, but, do we really know, this many years
later, who really shot Kennedy & King?

Rifts Plentiful as 9/11 Inquiry Begins
By JAMES RISEN
ASHINGTON, June 3 [~] Early on Sept. 11, Senator Bob Graham and Representative
Porter J. Goss were having a quiet breakfast meeting in the Capitol with the
chief of Pakistani intelligence, Lt. Gen. Mehmood Ahmed. Mr. Graham and Mr.
Goss, the chairmen of the two Congressional intelligence committees, were
quizzing their guest about Osama bin Laden and other issues when an aide to
Mr. Goss rushed in with a note.

A plane had just hit the World Trade Center. Mr. Goss furiously scribbled a
reply, asking his aide to find out more. A few moments later, the aide came
back with another note [~] a second plane had crashed into the trade center.
"We're out of here," Mr. Goss announced.
Mr. Graham, a Florida Democrat, and Mr. Goss, a Florida Republican, have
been immersed in the attacks ever since. On Tuesday, they begin joint
oversight hearings to examine the painful subject of a colossal intelligence
failure and who in the government knew what before the attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Fingerpointing, some of it pitting the F.B.I. against the C.I.A., already
threatens to overshadow the joint committee's actual hearings.

MEANWHILE, CHECK THIS OUT:
THE WAR ON FREEDOM
How and Why America was Attacked, September 11, 2001
This study is a public interest initiative of the IPRD, published by Media Messenger Books, an imprint of Tree of Life Publications, in cooperation with the Media Monitors Network (MMN) in Los Angeles. In the weeks before the 9/11 attacks, warnings poured in from the world's intelligence agencies, but U.S. officials did nothing.
Instead, our intelligence agencies were reined in, air interceptors grounded - and the attacks exploited to launch a devastating war on Afghanistan. The results: a U.S. corporate takeover of Central Asia's oil and gas - a wealthier Bush family - and more censorship.
Was the attack on America to open the door for a more aggressive U.S. foreign policy - and uncurbed surveillance of the American people? Compiled from hundreds of newspapers, experts and official documents, "The War On Freedom" is the definitive account of how and why America was attacked.
a.. Who blocked investigation of known bin Laden associates?
b.. What happened to U.S. defense measures?
c.. When was the Afghan offensive first conceived?
d.. Where does the real blame lie for the World Trade Center devastation?
e.. Why did America not protect its own?
"What did this administration know, and when did they know it?"
U.S. Representative, Cynthia McKinney, (D) GA.
"The War on Freedom" rips apart the veil of silence surrounding 9/11, and lets readers look at the facts for themselves.
This book was featured on national Canadian TV in the investigative documentary series 'The Great Deception: The War on Terrorism - An Alternative View?' Vision TV, 4 February 2002.

Selected Reviews "This riveting and thoroughly documented study is a 'must' resource for everyone seeking to understand the attack on the World Trade Center of New York on September 11, 2001 and 'America's New War' since. It connects together over 10 years of relevant covert actions and decisions by top-level U.S. security-state operations, and organizes the whole into a coherent and devastating exposé of the real meaning and construction of the historic turn of 'the war against terrorism' now rewriting laws and constitutions across borders. For those who have seen or filed facts on these matters from web-disclosures and scattered revelations of newspapers, this volume provides the detailed documentation in a definitive and masterful record."
Professor John McMurtry, Department of Philosophy, University of Guelph, Ontario; Fellow at the Royal Society of Canada; Chair of Jurists, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Tribunal at the Alternative World Summit in Toronto, 1989 (Canada)

"The most complete book I know of, summarizing the relevant background and foreground intersecting upon the events of September 11, 2001... A tour de force in every respect: organization, methodology, timeliness, clarity of purpose and of scope, activist commitment to more inquiry, evenness, relative comprehensiveness. I can't say how much I admire this work. It must be seen by as many people as possible all over the world as soon as possible."
Barry Zwicker, Producer and Host, MediaFile, Vision TV Insight; award-winning journalist on CBC-TV and CTV (Canada)

"Powerful, disturbing, and interesting indeed. Your excellent research on the background of Sep 11 should become known to a larger audience."
Professor Arno Tausch, Institute for Political Science, University of Innsbruck (Austria)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"A meticulous investigation of circumstances, events and circumstantial evidence of what really happened before and on September 11. There aren't many people who still take the task of following the trails of their own doubts. Your excellent report goes deep into what really happened and what the American defense machinery had let happen."
