At 24 seconds into this video Moyers makes this statement:

"We detected only one organized campaign behind a certain book, and we disqualified it as a result."

Anybody know what this was about? What book? What organized effort? Why disqualify it?

I bet 911blogger was the aforementioned organized campaign. See here:

...In as much as I've always respected Bill Moyers (and still do), his lack of interest in exposing the 9-11 official story for the fairytale that it is, or in helping to bring exposure to the Sibel Edmonds case is very troubling.

It would seem that left gatekeepers are very much answerable to something other than the calling of honest journalism where at least some truths are concerned.

You're asking the right questions and Mr. Moyers should answer them. Why on Earth would he not be willing to identify this organized effort or make mention of the book? Why keep it a secret?

Is 9-11 really that much of a deadly third rail for established journos? Are these people under threat of losing something more than just their standing/status on the left gatekeeper totem pole? Do they not understand the costs to our country, our people, even the world, of continuing to go along with suppressing the truth of the events of that day?

2. Let me guess... the Bible.
Because they probably wanted to recommend it for use to justify further harm to the most vulnerable in this country.

3. The Bible was pre-disqualified by the original question.

Couric asked the question of the candidates. Moyers thought it would be interesting to see what we thought.

So, the Bible couldn't be a suggestion.

6. Can we ask them to just read the Constitution and each sign on to that .
we could keep it in a nice oxygen free, light free zone so that it might not age and decay.

Like maybe, Freedom of Information office? or the EPA or FEMA or.......

8. That would be a great part of the swearing in ceremony...
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 02:20 PM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...first they take a 2 hour exam where they must demonstrate a thorough familiarity with the U.S. Constitution, and then they are required to sign off, and give a thumb print on each and every article of it.

This might instill the notion that the people are serious about having the Constitution followed/upheld.
