[KC Burke]

There you have gone and done it!

Now Towmmy Dashle AND his wife are deeply saddened.

Great job.

I just wanted to go down and ask when Gore-licker was going to testify. I note the the WP has no comment on the Gore-licker memorandum in today's (4/14/04) edition.

As Inspector Renaud would say, "I'm shocked that the WP is ignoring this conflict of interest."

Require criminal background checks and FBI fingerprint checks for all screeners, and all airport and airline employees with access to secure areas

Yes but don't check any foreigner coming in.....we need all the votes we can get. Remeber the immediate issuance of voter cards for them.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been SO aggravated that this information has been seemingly ignored in all the debates about why 9/11 happened. This is all I talk about with anyone when the subject comes up.

It all comes down to this: terrorists, like any other criminals, seek the least risky methods and places to commit their crimes, with the the highest probability of success. E.g., lock your car and house, and the burglars will probably stay away because they will simply go find a car or house that is unlocked. Well, our airports and airplanes were essentially unlocked doors on 9/11. It's very hard to catch a criminal before he commits a crime; but it is easy to lock the door or otherwise make it harder for him to commit the crime.

The Al Qaeda planners knew, from Pan Am 103 to TWA 800 to EgyptAir 990, and later through "casing" flights taken by the 9/11 hijackers themselves (as described by James Woods who saw them on Flight 11 two weeks before 9/11) , that their plans to hijack several planes and fly them into important buildings had a high likelihood of succeeding. So, instead of pointing fingers at the people who didn't catch the terrorists - some of whom were here on legal visas and had no criminal or terrorist background or connection - shouldn't we be asking WHY WERE THE DOORS UNLOCKED????

[CounterCounterCulture]

Excellent. I've been waiting for this report to see the light of day.

I found this on another thread, but you may need tinfoil to read it ; )


Get out yer tinfoil hats - I just thank up a thunk!
The Gorelick rules were meant to ensure that "no 'proactive' investigative efforts or technical coverages" of terrorist suspects be carried out on U.S. soil.

The Murrah Bldg in OK city was blown up on April 19, 1995.

Exactly what date in 1995 was that Gorelick memo published?

Hi, Please take a moment and either call the President or send an email to let him know we, the American people back him. Also, if you could just tell one person to do the same and ask them to tell another, than God willing, we will flood the switchboard with calls and faxes like they have never seem. This is one way we can take it direct to the President and it can not be misled by the media or stupid polls.....
Please call or email and God bless:

BIG Pacfic size BUMP for Kristinn and his hard work.

Two pieces of important related info:

In our book, "First Strike," James Sanders and I make this arguably prophetic comment:

John Kerry seemed to have his sights on Al Gore's Achilles' heel. After the events of Sept. 11, the story of how Al Gore helped subvert the investigation into TWA 800 and undermine airport security may yet prove to be a career-killer. Kerry's "slips" may have put Gore out of the race even before he got in.

Two weeks after advanced copies of "First Strike" started circulating around Washington, Gore withdrew from the presidential race. His withdrawal shocked Washington. It did not shock Sanders and me. We expected it. Kerry plays hardball, too.

While I have your attention, Chris, there is one other person you need to put on the spot. Her name is Jamie Gorelick, former deputy attorney general under the figurehead, Janet Reno. You probably know her. Last week, UPI reported that the high-level 9-11 panel on which she sits "was rocked Thursday by the bizarre revelation that two of its senior officials were so closely involved in the events they are investigating that they have had to be interviewed as part of the inquiry." One of the two was Gorelick.

Source

On Aug. 22, 1996, just a few days before the start of the Democratic National Convention, Ms. Gorelick oversaw a critical Justice Department meeting with the FBI. Immediately after this meeting, as it happened, all serious inquiry into the fate of TWA 800 came to an end.

On the next day, for instance, the FAA began to inquire whether any dog-training exercises had ever taken place on the plane that would become TWA 800. On the same day, as CNN reported, the FBI now claimed publicly for the first time that the explosive residue found along the right wing "could have been brought on the plane by a passenger and was not part of a bomb." Likewise, after the meeting, the FBI would do no more eyewitness interviews, at least not for the next two months. The Bureau only did a handful after that – and all of those for the wrong reasons.

WND

So Gore and Gorelick in collusion? What were they hiding? The Iraqi link?
