9/11 Families Who Fought To Create 9/11 Commission Declare It A Failure
9/11 Families Who Fought To Create 9/11 Commission Declare It A Failure

July 21, 2005

WASHINGTON - July 21 - On Friday, July 22, 2005, one year to the day after the release of the "9/11 Commission Report," Project Censored founder, Dr. Peter Phillips will lead a National Press Club briefing entitled "The Failure of the 9/11 Commission Report and the Mainstream Media's Disregard." The briefing will feature scores of detailed examples of the Commission's flawed findings, self-censorship, misrepresentations and conflicts of interest that call the accuracy and integrity of their entire investigation into doubt.

Lead presenters are 9/11 family members and Family Steering Committee cofounders, Monica Gabrielle, Mindy Kleinberg and Lorie Van Auken. After the FSC members' 18 months of lobbying finally forced a 9/11 investigation and the Commission's creation, they submitted hundreds of unanswered questions that Commissioner Jamie Gorelick promised would be their investigation's "road map". However, by these courageous widows' count, the Commission ignored approximately 70% of their concerns, and also suppressed important evidence and whistleblower testimony that challenged the official story on many fronts.

According to Convergence spokesperson Peter Phillips, "The events of September 11 not only took thousands of innocent American lives, they have been repeatedly used to justify previously unthinkable policies of domestic repression, preemptive attacks, torture, and endless war.

"We know most of these policies had been championed by powerful voices within this government long before 9/11, but without these outrageous 'surprise attacks' they could have never come to pass. If the 9/11 Report is dangerously inaccurate, as more and more evidence now indicates, the nation still needs an honest investigation of what really happened and why no one has ever been held accountable. In particular, we need to know whether the behavior of officials who seem to have profited most handsomely from 9/11 and its dark wake should be looked at once again.

2. It really really REALLY pisses me off that the MSM SO BADLY FAILED
the American people on this issue and on the rally to war shit...what utter bullshit. And most people in this country either believe the crap that's printed for them to digest, uncritically, or they're too damned apathetic to do anything about it. WTF????
And all we get on the news is Wacko Jacko and Scott Peterson and Aruba and holy shit. What a crock.
Every channel it seems is little more than E! mixed with a little Court TV. Pretty substance-less.

4. You Go Girl!! from one granny to another.
You're right tho. The MSM did fail, miserably. They just sat and whacked off; Ann Coulter, Novak, Bill Hemmer, all of 'em.

I'm sick and tired of hearing their spins on all this bullshit. I can't wait for the hammer to fall on B*shco and see the MSM dribble and sputter. I'm going to laugh my f_cking ass off.

5. You and me both. There are so many people wallowing in filth between
the unelected Bushit administration to the MSM whores, I'd love to see every last one of 'em shackled and imprisoned. Can't think of anyone in Repuke gov't that HASN'T violated the oath of office, and the MSM folks who whore for them? Well, unless you're in parts of Nevada, I think that's still illegal too, so round 'em up. All of 'em.

6. They understand the whitewash that was perpetrated on the American
people. What a shameful sham.

7. I have been wondering recently how the 9/11 families
felt about things. I wish they could get some MSM attention.
