"God please let the mindless media wake up from their stupor."

Amen!

[Clinton's a liar]

Thanks, Gracey! Hugs.

[Cicero]

Beautifully done. Will UPI go forward with this? I sure hope so.

[Clinton's a liar]

Thank you, my dear friend.

[MrConfettiMan]

Well done, Connie. I, for one, did not know about this commission. Thanks.

[Brian Mosely]

Probably because it has lines like this:

Mr. Vice President, we are all aware that any comprehensive security system is as good as its weakest link. Criminals and terrorist will continue to identify and exploit the weakest link in our defenses. Nationally, there are over 450 commercial airports with scheduled passenger flights. It is up to the Federal government that regulates the airlines to provide national security standards, adequate funding and actionable timetables. Anything short of that does not fulfill the Commissions mandate of enhancing aviation security in a meaningful way.

The Boeing chart on p.6 projects an aviation accident a week by the year 2015 based on the projected increases in air traffic. That acknowledges 250-300 people will die onboard passenger airplanes a week; 1,000-1,200 a month or projected total deaths of 12,000-15,000 annually ! Statistically, that compares weekly commercial aviation deaths to the weekly death toll in the Vietnam War. This is totally unacceptable and an outrage ! Commercial air travel need not bear the same risk as going to war.

In closing, Mr. Vice President, I feel that the flying public should be able to put their family members aboard a plane with a great degree of confidence that they will walk off at the point of their destination and not come home in a body bag like my husband did. It is for all the aforementioned safety and security reasons that I can not sign a report that blatantly allows the American flying public to be placed regularly at "unnecessary risk" while we as a nation have the capability, but not the will to reasonably protect them.

UPI said that they were assigning staff to report on the story, so they would not be publishing the commentary -- but a news story. I hope they will follow through on their assertions. Perhaps they were waiting for an appropriate time to pass -- a time for the families and America to grieve our loss.

We wanted to wait and give UPI the time to break the story, and did not submit this anywhere but there. Newsmax seems to have beat them to the punch, so we felt we should go ahead and get out more facts!

[Clinton's a liar]

Thanks, MCM. I hope you're doing well. You remain in my prayers, Joe.

[Clinton's a liar]

Well, that COULD be the reason! Just when you the Clinton administration was GONE and couldn't hurt us anymore -- the seeds they planted spring forth and bear the fruit of their corruption. God help us.

[Clinton's a liar]

Ping!

[Jean S]

Good job. I hope this story has legs. The country needs to know of this.

[usconservative]

OMG. Connie, my jaw hit my desk so many times while reading it, I'd swear I broke it.

One question: WHY ISN'T ALBERT GORE JR. BEING CHARGED WITH COMPLICITY IN THE MURDERS OF MORE THAN 6,000 AMERICANS, AND FOREIGN NATIONALS IN THE WAKE OF THE WTC TRAGEDY?

BUMP! for investigative reporting that should have the lamestream media crying in their cereal!!!

[n.y.muggs]

bump

[uvular]

I shudder to think of all the other things that Clinton/Clinton/Gore, etc., did that will be coming back to haunt our lives.

Being reminded about this one the other day, and trying to basically learn a new language to intelligently read about the middle east, I'm close to information overload. But will keep plugging and e-mailing away.

Thanks for articles such as this for freepers such as myself that have limited time to research!

[Clinton's a liar]

The country most DEFINITELY needs to know this!

[Dog Gone]

Bravo!

[Clinton's a liar]

Thank you, JoeEveryman! These measures could not absolutely guarantee that Bloody Tuesday wouldn't have happened, but had they been implemented, we would have at LEAST followed through on correcting the damn security voids we knew about! Jeez, this makes me angry!

Campaign contributions trump security -- KNOWN security voids. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

[Clinton's a liar]

The unbelievability zone with the Clinton/Gore corruption, I hope, has been maxed out. This needs to get out to the American people. Perhaps since they've just had their innocence shattered, in a sense, they'll be open to the truth.

[Clinton's a liar]

"But will keep plugging and e-mailing away."

We all do what we must. God bless, uvular!
