CIA 9/11 Report Being Withheld From Public - Article and Petition Inside
Petition:

"October 19, 2004

Robert Scheer: The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket The agency is withholding a damning report that points at senior officials.

It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

"It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed," an intelligence official who has read the report told me, adding that "the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward."

When I asked about the report, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she and committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) sent a letter 14 days ago asking for it to be delivered.

13. I was thinking the same thing myself
We need a true patriot to leak that damn report. Just when I think these crooks can't get any more crooked than they are without snapping in half, they seem to find just a little bit more crooked room.

The American people deserve to know the truth. I'm sure this report will hardly scratch the surface, but every piece of the puzzle is important.

5. Signed! And some good news!
Earlier I used the media blaster to email my state's news outlets.

I sent them excerpts of the LA Times article and the URL.

I actually got a PERSONAL response from the managing editor of a local TV news station (from a real person with a name and phone number -- fancy that!)

They thanked me and said they were forwarding the info to their political correspondent.

FINALLY something other than an auto response!

11. Wow! That's a refreshing change from the norm!
I've written scads of media heads & have nothing yet but auto-replies from a few recipients. Perhaps the LTTEs I'll be sending tomorrow will have better luck. I've had a pretty good track record in the past, anyway.

Anybody who hasn't WRITE! Be firm, be polite and let our voices be HEARD!
