Big new 9/11 Timeline update is on-line, and a DS Memo one, too

[paulthompson]

Here's a post I just made to the General Politics forum. I've been posting a few of my entries in the works in the past days - those are all part of the new update.

Some of you may know me as the creator of the 9/11 Timeline, which has been turned into the Harper Collins book, the Terror Timeline. As a matter of fact, a big new update of my timeline has just been posted, which you can see here:

http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/searchResults.jsp?events=on&dosearch=Updates&project=911_project&periodlastchanged=June+2005

But our webite, the Center for Cooperative Research, has been growing, and we've got all kinds of political timelines now, including a very big on one the decision to go to war with Iraq.

Because of all the recent Downing Street Memo news, we've combined all the most relevant Iraq timeline entries to those memos on one page, which you can see here:

http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=complete_timeline_of_the_2003_invasion_of_iraq&key_events=DSM

That gives the background to see that the DSM didn't come out of the blue, but in fact is just one piece of a larger picture showing that the decision to go to war was made by mid-2002, if not much earlier.

Please check it out and spread the word!

1. Thanks, Paul.

Of course a lot of us think the decision to invade Iraq was all part of the 9/11 terror plan. Certainly, the two fit together very closely, and it is amazing how the Bush administration still links 9/11 and Iraq.

2. I have a question Paul

on the new Larry Silverstein OWNER of WTC.

In every article I have seen, he was listed as the 99 yr. leasehold and the owners were the Port Authority. Did this change since the jury awarded the 2nd plane made it 2 incidences and doubled his insurance? I know there were some behind the scene deals being made with Pataki and the airports in exchange for the WTC.


This was in the WTC Oct. 11, 2001

World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein is asking Congress to protect him from potentially billions of dollars in lawsuits from victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, the Wall Street Journal reported in its online edition on Thursday.

Is any of the compensation money paid to the victims families by the taxpayers being reimbursed after the settlement?
Do you know if the insurance policies had any liability for workers inside the buildings?

Do you know if any of the evidence found by the insurance investigators or Silverstein group will ever be released?

3. I think

It's my bad if I called him owner when he's a 99 year lease holder. I'll fix that.
