Default Why Does 9/11 Inquiry Scare Bush?


What has Mr. Bush got to hide?

The crudeness of his tactics suggests
that whatever it is, it must be pretty bad.

Why Does 9/11 Inquiry Scare Bush?
Editorial

The Bush administration has never wanted an
inquiry into the intelligence and law-enforcement
failures that led up to the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, and it is doing its
best to make sure we never get one.

Even the tame commission of Washington insiders,
led by men of the president's own party, is now
complaining that its work is being hampered
by foot-dragging from the Pentagon and Justice
Department in producing documents and witnesses,
in an effort to run the clock out on it before it can
complete its work.

The commission's leaders have taken the
extraordinary step of accusing the White
House of witness "intimidation,"

insisting that sensitive witnesses testify only
in the presence of a "monitor" from their agency.

The parallel to Saddam Hussein's refusal
to let Iraqi scientists talk to U.N. weapons
inspectors without a similar monitor is too
glaring to miss and begs the obvious question:

What has Mr. Bush got to hide?

The crudeness of his tactics suggests
that whatever it is, it must be pretty bad.

The Internet is full of wild theories --

that Mr. Bush knew in advance of 9/11
and allowed it to happen so he could
exploit it to get his way in domestic
and international politics is the most notable
-- and while cyberspace is the natural home

of the improbable and the far-fetched,
the administration's stonewalling only
lends credence to those who believe
a cover-up of something is going on.

September 11 was the most traumatic
incident in recent American history.

Three thousand people died in New York,
billions in property was destroyed,
the national economy tanked and
Americans' sense of security was shattered.

The men responsible for the attacks are still
at large and openly threaten to attack us again.

Yet the commission's budget is only $3 million,
a pittance compared to the $100 million that
was wasted getting to the bottom of Bill Clinton's
Whitewater investment and his extramarital affairs.

The hearings in the Republican-dominated
Congress were a perfunctory affair that attracted
even less attention from a sensation-oriented
media than is being paid to this commission.

The American people deserve
a thorough investigation.

They want to know why the fighter jets weren't
scrambled after the first plane hit the tower,
what the Clinton and Bush administrations
knew about threats from al-Qaida and what
they were doing about them,
what citizens of our allies Saudi Arabia
and Pakistan financed Osama bin Laden
and his hijackers,

how the FBI and CIA missed obvious clues
and let suspects they were following slip away,
why airline security was so lax,

what is the meaning of a suspicious pattern
of stock transactions that occurred before the
attacks,

whether law enforcement efforts were
subordinated to diplomatic priorities and the
needs and desires of American oil companies.

Americans want the answers to two basic questions:

What went wrong?

And what is being done to make sure it never happens again?

They should be satisfied with nothing less
than an honest effort to get those answers,
no matter who they embarrass,
and the White House should not
stand in the way.

President Bush is not afraid of very much. He's not like a yellow
streaked liberal.

The man is so full of fear he walks like a duck with a wire in its
sphincter. That's the hall mark of conservatism: fear. But these bozos
apparently believe their own dogma. The jury is out on whether they
can make it stick.

The way he attained office -- by dispatching goon squads from around the nation
to stage bogus "riots" to intimidate vote counters in Florida, then asking his
Daddy's appointees to appoint him President -- should be proof enough of that.
He did everything necessary to become President, including getting his
brother's elections officials to illegally throw 40,000 Democrats off the
voter rolls shortly before the 2000 election (as tacitly admitted by the State
of Florida when they settled the NAACP lawsuit by putting those voters back on
the voter rolls), and he will do anything necessary to remain President --
including suppressing this 9/11 inquiry if he fears that it will reveal things
that would hurt his re-election campaign.

The question you have to ask is the same one as with Richard Nixon: Who knew
what, and when? But for some reason our tame corporate press isn't willing to
ask hard questions anymore.

Summary: Bush deserves to be President. The American people deserve him. So
what if he wasn't really elected? So what if he is trying to do a coverup of
the causes of the 9/11 security lapses? Joe Sixpack is just gonna belch and
turn to the latest edition of Survivor (coming soon: Survivor:Iran, featuring
the 4th Infantry Division and a large supporting cast!), and cheer on the
ass-kickin'. I mean, it's just a TV show. Nobody really *dies*, right? They
get out of their shallow graves at the end of the day and gather in the
shooting trailer for champagne and canapes, right? Right?!

Are you looking for excuses because the Democrats can't read a ballot?
Gore tried twice to have his cronies miscount ballots, and more ballots
for Bush kept showing up.

The liberal media would find it if was there. Liberal media is so
liberal, people are turning away from the big mainstream news networks.

Do you think he will be impeached like Clinton? Do you think he will
have to swear under oath
168 times that he doesn't remember?
If President Bush wasn't elected, he can serve two more terms.

Bush should be brave and upstanding enough to withstand
investigations if he is a better President than those
who were investigated previously, so what is the problem?

Where is that "Bring it on!" bravado?

Where he went, and something that hardly anyone has commented or

can't figure out why that is significant, well, maybe you shouldn't be
here.

JUDGE WILLIAM YOUNG, SENTENCES THE SHOE BOMBER

I hope you will read every word! Pray for more Judges like this one.
And mail a copy of this to everyone in your address book.

US District Court Judge William Young made the following statement in
sentencing "shoe bomber" Richard Reid to prison. It is noteworthy, and
deserves to be remembered far longer than he predicts. I commend it to you
and anyone you might wish to forward it to.

January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young: Mr. Richard C. Reid,
hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you.

On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the
custody of the United States Attorney General.

On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on
each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutive with the other.
That's 80 years.

On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years consecutive to
the 80 years just imposed. The Court imposes upon you each of the eight
counts a fine of $250,000 for the aggregate fine of $2 million.

The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to
restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre
Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines.

The Court imposes upon you the $800 special assessment.

The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the
law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go
no further.

This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and
just sentence. It is a righteous sentence. Let me explain this to you.

We are not afraid of any of your terrorist coconspirators, Mr. Reid. We are
Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is all too much war
talk here. And I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this
court, where we deal with individuals as individuals, and care for
individuals as individuals, as human beings we reach out for justice, you
are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in
any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a
soldier gives you far too much stature. Whether it is the officers of
government who do it or your attorney who does it, or that happens to be
your view, you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We
do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and
bring them to justice.

So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you
are not that big. You're no warrior. I know warriors. You are a terrorist.
A species of criminal guilty of multiple attempted murders.

In a very real sense Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken
off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and where
the TV crews were and he said you're no big deal. You're no big deal.

What your counsel, what your able counsel and what the equally able United
States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know
how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was
it that led you here to this courtroom today? I have listened respectfully
to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask
yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty
and admit you are guilty of doing. And I have an answer for you. It may
not satisfy you. But as I search this entire record it comes as close to
understanding as I know. It seems to me you hate the one thing that is most
precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual
freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, and to believe or
not believe as we individually choose.

Here, in this society, the very winds carry freedom. They carry it
everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual
freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom. So that
everyone can see, truly see that justice is administered fairly,
individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers
are striving so vigorously on your behalf and have filed appeals, will go on
in their, their representation of you before other judges. We are about it.
Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of
our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bear
any burden, pay any price, to preserve our freedoms.

Look around this courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to long
remember what you or I say here. Day after tomorrow it will be forgotten.
But this, however, will long endure. Here in this courtroom and courtrooms
all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice,
individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being
done.

The very President of the United States through his officers will have to
come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be
judged, and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence
democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.

See that flag Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America.
That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands
for freedom. You know it always will.

Custody Mr. Officer. Stand him down.

pass this around. Everyone needs to hear what the judge had to say.

Bush was hiding, scrambling aboard aircraft,
allowing Karen Hughes to speak for him,
just like he's allowing George Tenent to take
the blame for him, instead of coming out,
facing the American Public.

Ari Fleischer is so sick of fronting for him,
he quit.

Clinton faced the American Public via the Press.
He wasn't afraid of the tough questions.
Bush was not only a coward when he fled
the Texas National Guard, he displays that
wide yellow streak when he ducks the American
public and hides behind "spokespersons".

AWOL Bush II is an unelected dictator,
who sleeps soundly at night,
while our boys and girls die daily in Iraq,
for his oil buddies.

Wolfowitiz and Perle, no sign of either of them, huh?
They planned the Iraq assault.

Go easy on him, it's his first day!

Anyway, he's not just a murderer, he's a terrorist. He does what he does out
of political motives. He probably should not be in the country in the first
place if he thinks so little of our freedoms, however. I say, send him back to
his native country and let him be punished there -- if a court there decides.
