Excerpts from Ellen Mariani's Open Letter to G.W. Bush
http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/020504Lynn/020504lynn.html
Mr. Bush,

This "open letter" is coming from my heart. I want you to know that I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat and that this is not an attempt to "bash the Government."

You Mr. Bush should be held responsible and liable for any and all acts that were committed to aid in any "cover up" of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. As President you have a duty to protect the American people. On September 11th you did not instruct your staff to issue a nationwide emergency warning/alert to advise us of the attack on America. We had to receive the news of the attacks via the news networks. . . .

<snip>

On the morning of the attack, you and members of your staff were fully aware of the unfolding events yet you chose to continue on to the Emma E. Booker Elementary School to proceed with a scheduled event and "photo op." While our nation was under attack you did not appear to blink an eye or shed a tear. You continued on as if everything was "business as usual" . . .

<snip>

In the court of public opinion Mr. Bush, your lies are being uncovered each day. My husband, all of the other victims and their families and our nation as a whole, has been victimized by your failed leadership prior to and after 9/11!

I will prove this in a court of law!

Ellen M. Mariani

1. The woman.................
has guts, taking on the Bush cabal is risky business. Her message however isn't being seen by a vast majority of Americans, and this is in itself, criminal. Major media aren't giving this the time of day and it's mostly people like we at DU that hear her pleas.

3. It's amazing what the press considers news
I don't know how we managed before the internet, although I think jouralists used to be real new hounds.

Today they want to be the next airhead anchor person, making zillions of dollars & reading a script.

4. He won't have the guts to read it.
He hit the trifecta, remember? No way is he going to let himself read this....some Level2 secretary will be given the letter and told to send Ellen a swarmy response and an autographed pic of the Pretzeldent in the plane on 9/11.

6. "prove this in a court of law"?

Was it not because of a Court of Law that the Presidency was purloined to begin with, notwithstanding proof since found?

To judge from the "evidence" we've seen so far, life on Mars is a safer bet.
