The Haunting of the White House- Cynthia McKinney
http://fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/110204_mckinney_fitts.shtml

<snipit>
Driven by survivor families, independent researchers, journalists, and a growing number of ordinary citizens, an emergent "9/11 truth movement" has organized several public inquiries into the events of September 11 during the past year. As co-chairs of the first 9/11 Citizens' Commission, held in New York City in September, we were entrusted with answering questions the Kean Commission ignored.

What did we hear? We heard evidence of specific advance warnings about the 9/11 attacks from overseas. We heard about the spiking of FBI terrorism investigations and the lack of response during the attacks by high officials, including George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and the acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Richard Myers.

We heard about air toxicity at Ground Zero still afflicting firefighters, first responders, and New York residents - and how, in the days after September 11, the White House intervened to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from issuing a strong warning that the air in Lower Manhattan was unsafe to breathe.

We also learned that, although there was a stunning abandonment of standard procedure for hijackings and air defense on September 11, the 9/11 Commission Report fails to issue a call for official accountability. As Kean Commission members travel the country to promote the findings of their report, we know many people are standing up to ask them tough questions about these and many other open issues. But ordinary people lack the subpoena powers necessary for a full discovery of the facts. Citizens' investigations can only go so far.

2. I'm hoping we'll slip back into the parallel universe we USED to live in
before Bush stole the election, and we'll have all these questions answered AND we'll serve up justice where it's due and put all these crooks in jail.

then we'll all breathe a sigh of relief and say "man! what the hell happened!"

I really feel like we slipped into some fucked-up parallel universe sometime around 2000. It ain't the world I used to live in.

Who went back in time and stepped on the butterfly???? DAMN THEM!
