08/04/04 Re: 911 Commission: Obstruction of Justice and Treason

The Empty Room:
Condi Rice was in Washington trying to pass her oral exam before the 9/11 commission yesterday, and the president was on vacation in Texas. As usual, they were in close agreement, this time on the fact that neither they nor anyone else in this remarkably aloof and arrogant administration is responsible for the tragic mess unfolding in Iraq, and its implications for the worldwide war on terror.

Rice to testify – but not under oath:

Striking Where Bush Is Weakest:
If the Bush administration had gone after Osama bin Laden with anything akin to the energy it is expending to discredit Richard Clarke, the story of America's response to terrorism might have been dramatically different.

Running scared :
The swiftness and ferocity of the Bush White House's attack on Richard Clarke tells you two things: his story may be largely true, and the Bush administration is terrified that the American people will believe it.

BREAKING SPECIAL REPORT FROM 9-11 HEARINGS
tomflocco.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=50
DOJ Asked FBI Translator To Change Pre 9-11 Intercepts

by Tom Flocco

Washington, DC — March 24, 2004 —12:15 EST — FBI translator Sibel Edmonds
was offered a substantial raise and a full time job to encourage her not to
go public that she had been asked by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to
retranslate and adjust the translations of [terrorist] subject intercepts
that had been received before September 11, 2001 by the FBI and CIA. 

Edmonds, a ten year U.S. citizen who has passed a polygraph examination,
speaks fluent Farsi and Turkish and had been working part time with the FBI
for six months—commencing in December, 2001. 

In a 50 reporter frenzy in front of some 12 news cameras, Edmonds said
"Attorney General John Ashcroft  told me 'he was invoking State Secret
Privilege and National Security' when I told the FBI  I wanted to go public
with what I had translated from the pre 9-11 intercepts."

Citizen Group To Run 9-11 Cover-up Ads
 in Washington, DC

by Tom Flocco

WASHINGTON — March 22, 2004 — (TomFlocco.com) — A pair of citizen
activists, Kyle F. Hence of Rhode Island and John Judge of Washington, DC,
have placed themselves among those at the forefront of a grassroots,
citizen-inspired quest for the truth about September 11. 
Along with thousands of others also knowledgeable about events surrounding
America's second Pearl Harbor, Hence and Judge have been single-mindedly and
doggedly pursuing the truth about the unexposed and publicly ignored
curiosities surrounding 9-11 evidence and its timeline chronology of
events—but also the strange actions of high government officials who had
operating control prior to and during the attacks.

"No 9-11 Cover-up" DC Metro Ad:  Washington, DC metro train commuters will
be made quite aware of the current stonewalling and refusal to testify
publicly under oath by White House officials, but also the ongoing soft
hearings, 900+ private interviews with witnesses, poor questioning and
followup, lack of transparency while using "national security" claims as an
excuse for continued secrecy, and colossal conflicts of interest that have
been allowed to fester for more than a year within Chairman Kean's
Commission.

As co-founders of 911citizenswatch.org, the two are ramping up the pressure
today by running a month-long $35,000 "No 9-11 Cover-up" ad campaign with
colorful, eye-catching posters on all 267 Washington, DC metro train cars
transporting 600,000 commuters back and forth throughout the District of
Columbia and its surrounding bedroom suburbs in Virginia and Maryland.  The
two have collected contributions to pay for the advertising which will be
kicked off Monday with a prominent ad in the Washington Post, along with a
press conference at the National Press Club at 1:00 pm today.

9/11 COMMISSION HEARINGS ARE A COVERUP: CHAIRMAN OF 9/11 COMMISSION HAD BUSINESS TIES TO OSAMA'S BROTHER IN LAW

by Michel Chossudovsky,

Now you would think that being a business partner of the brother in law and alleged financier of "Enemy No. 1" would be considered a bona fide "conflict of interest", particularly when your mandate —as part of the 9/11 Commission's work— is to investigate "Enemy No. 1".

THE 9/11 COMMISSION IS MADE UP OF CIA, CFR AND WHITE HOUSE APPOINTEES:
WHO'S WHO ON THE 9/11 "INDEPENDENT COMMISSION

by Michel Chossudovsky

The Commission's hidden agenda is cover-up and "damage control". Its objective is not to inform but to distract public opinion, from the real issues. by churning out piles of irrelevant intelligence. To gain legitimacy and public support, it must convey the impression that it is committed to "going after" the Administration, and that government officials as well as politicians in high office "must be held accountable", etc.

Desperately Seeking Condi: Rice Avoids 9/11 Commission

SMOKING GUN:
The 9/11 Evidence that May Hang George W. Bush
By Cheryl Seal – CHERDAV44@aol.com
02 June 2002
The Case Against G.W. Bush: a Preliminary "Hearing" in the
Court of Common Sense At the very least Bush allowed 9/11 to happen.
But the evidence indicates his guilt involves more than just a huge
intentional sin of omission –this now seems certain. So it is
ulcer-fomenting to watch him, Cheney, Condoleeza Rice and their
PR army try to sell America yet another Big Lie –that they had no
idea such a thing as 9/11 could happen…they could never have
imagined it in their wildest dreams…they had no specific
warnings…there was nothing unusual about the summer 2001 warnings,
etc, etc, ad nauseam. I have compiled some material that clearly
shows that the above litany is blatantly, arrogantly false.
But first, let's hold a preliminary hearing in the
"Court of Common sense".
