GWB point needs to be made in all coverage - GWB considered a top tier terror target, esp on 9-11

and surrounding days. Jamming traffic for political reasons is wrong at any time, but, the IRRESPONSIBILITY of doing this around and ON the date of Sept 11, when there should have been heightened ALERTNESS by all public officials and Port Authority officials, actually reaches to criminal levels and, in my view, TRAITOROUS.


This point needs to be made CONSISTENTLY, and, especially every time the photo of Christie ON Sept 11 is shown, yukking it up with his political cronies, it should be made even MORE damning evidence of Christie and his behavior.

He shouldn't be allowed by responsible media to say a traffic jam on the GWB did NOT rise to his level of concern - REALLY? Not even on Sept 11???? I suppose he NEVER was made aware by Homeland Security or even anyone in the news media for 12 years that GWB was always considered in the top tier of targets for terrorist attacks?

4. It seems like a no-brainer, but you don't hear any of the network coverage making this point

I know it is going to be hard to believe, but I have relatives in other parts of the country (i.e. away from NYC metro) and they kind have reduced 9/11 to phrases, it really does not mean as much to them as it used to mean. They don't know people who died, they never saw it from outside, they never smelled it for weeks.

5. Giuliani said a few months back it was 'just a prank'. On 10th anniversary of 9-11 he said THIS...

"In an interview with Steve Forbes to mark the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 slaughter, Giuliani told a different story:

New York City is not just the World Trade Center.

I didn't know, that morning, that there'd be only two planes. There could've been three, could've been four. Could've been seven. What could've happened were follow-up suicide attacks. We had plenty of intelligence that Islamic extremist terrorists, who would get arrested, would have plans for the Lincoln Tunnel, the Holland Tunnel, the George Washington Bridge, the subways, the PATH train."

But, when trying to cover up for his crony Christie in January it was 'just a prank'....the old 'nothing to see here' tactic preferred by scoundrels.
