The original was pulled by the Admin Moderator as soon as I heard from Dick. We tried to set the record straight as soon as possible.
Now, when can we expect the NY TIMES to do a real investigative piece on Sept. 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows?

You are an absolute gem for putting in this much effort and doing such a terrific job of pulling together and summarizing the relevant links into one reference link.

Could you please add me to your ping list for your reference threads.

Thanks.

PHONY OUTRAGE STORY BREAKING HARD --- Hannity is on it; can mainstream media keep hiding?
dfu, Hannity show | 3-8-04 | dfu
Well, here is a thread in which I decided to poke around and see what I could find out about the "outraged" relatives:
9/11 Victims' Kin Angered by Bush Ads (Big time media bias alert)
Rush and Sean have done a great job of comparing the comments of the various 9/11 widows, etc. The similarity of their phrases (and the same illogic of them) shows that this is almost certainly a Democratic or leftist plant. And can ANYONE explain to me why Bush's being "in a classroom reading to children" when the attack occurred is such a damnable act? Are these the same people who said "Bush knew" and "Bush should have connected the dots?" And when he did - in Iraq - and took care of a tyrant who was destabilizing the region (a pretty big dot, if you ask me), didn't these same people object and protest Bush's "warmongering?"

"Veterans for Peace" is listed as an organization that has had direct contact with the International Action Center - you know, the outfit apparently founded by Ramsey Clark 

http://www.iacenter.org/orgs.htm
"International Action Center"

 

Towards the top, after wading through the "mission" gobbley goop -

Organizations opposed to sanctions

 

"The following list covers a number of groups that have organized some form of opposition to sanctions against Iraq, especially those based in countries that were part of the alliance that waged war on Iraq in early 1991. The list is by no means complete, but consists of those groups that have been in direct contact with the International Action Center. The activities carried out by the organizations described here cover a wide variety of approaches to opposing sanctions: providing humanitarian assistance, organizing political opposition, publishing books and other educational material, and taking direct action. They illustrate both the growing opposition to sanctions and the variety of tactics to fight them."

 

 

(and what a list it is)

 

 

("Veterans for Peace" is shown using the 5011 "K" St. NW, #525 Washington address here)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sprinkled around on the "Veterans for Peace" site, such as on a page http://www.veteransforpeace.org/Defaultold.htm, can be seen "Email VFP", which turns out to be vfp@igc.org ,

 

 

What is "igc.org"???

 

 

A quick descriptor is on http://www.cein.net/cgi-bin/en/company_info.asp?CID=263 (circa 1999)

Institute for Global Communications (IGC)
Address   POBox 29904
              San Francisco, CA  94126-0904
Voice     (415) 561-6100
Fax       (415) 561-6101
Web       http://www.igc.apc.org/

 

http://www.igc.org/

 

 

Excerpts off of http://www.cein.net/cgi-bin/en/company_info.asp?CID=263 

 

"Since 1992, IGC and its APC members have been the primary information and communications service provider at UN world conferences, including the 1992 United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, the 1993 United Nations Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo and the 1995 World Conference on Women in Beijing."

 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

 

and most interesting, down towards the bottom -

 

"IGC Internet is a project of the Tides Center, a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt organization."

 

 

 

 

 

 

On their "links" page is a link to the September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, which stuck out like a sore thumb
http://www.veteransforpeace.org/links.htm

(Them again)

 

 

 

And finally, Veterans for Peace has a listing in the San Francisco Bay Area Progressive Directory - http://www.bapd.org/dir.html, an index of organizations in the San Francisco area that are related to "progressive activism", though only their website is listed for contact

 

Hmm, okay.
